Crazy for Christian Yoga: 180 hours in 15 days!

Meet our newest teacher trainee class

Yahweh Yoga teacher trainees learn about Christian Yoga

After spending 70 days in our online classroom environment covering the basics on everything from anatomy to marketing, these 23 students came to Arizona for 15, 12-hour days of live instruction.

Why such intensive days?

Our students come from all over the country and the world to participate in the Yahweh Yoga RYT program. We knew we needed to find a way to make the Yoga Alliance RYT designation available to our Christian Yoga graduates and still allow most students to squeeze in their live training in the amount of time normally allotted for vacation breaks. But we were left with a quandary: How do we make our program accessible to distance learners and still meet Yoga Alliance requirements of 180 contact hours?

God and good planning was the answer

Of course, with God, everything is possible. He gave us the vision to design a concentrated learning experience that alternates rigorous activity with low-intensity work so that students can stay focused without running out of steam. We even cater all the meals with healthy choices so that our students can keep their energy up and their minds engaged. The result is total immersion in the world of Christian Yoga.

Another benefit of total immersion Christian Yoga training

We have many students that take our teacher training program because they want to make a fundamental change in their lives. They want to:

• Change the perception they have with their bodies
• Improve their approach to nutrition
• Strengthen their relationship with in our Savior.

During the course design phase, our goal was to make the Yahweh Yoga RYT program a method for people to commit to improving their lives on spiritual, emotional, and physical levels. When the class session sold out and we had to end the enrollment period early, we felt like we had received confirmation from our students that we were indeed offering a way to help change their lives.

All important endeavors are worth hard work

Our newest class is ready for the rigorous road that they face to their RYT designation. We pray that they are blessed by this challenging, yet worthwhile, educational undertaking. And as one of our friends said on our Yahweh Yoga Facebook page: Ladies, “you can do it through HIM who strengthens you!”

Good luck to our first class of 2010!
