Jesus First Yoga Second

All YogaFaith Training’s are for the beginner and advanced practitioner alike!

All training’s are Bible-based and centered around God, Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit. We dive deep into the Postures of Prayer, Meditation, God-given Energy Centers, and other tools to help train and equip you for ministry.

Absolutely!

• Whether you are taking an online, virtual or live training you will be equipped to begin teaching right away! We highly recommend attending a live immersion if at all possible, for these are life changing and transformational experiences.
• Your credentials as a Registered YogaFaith Trainer, R-YFT, is all that you need to start your new journey as a Yoga Instructor.
• If seeking to teach at a gym, community center, or studio, you will most likely be asked to do a demonstration class.
• If teaching at the YMCA, church or any other space, you may be asked to do a demo, audition or share a sample class with the Director or events manager.
• At immersion we cover extensively what to expect after training, how to set yourself apart from other instructors, how to know where God wants you and how to set up your business or YogaFaith Ministry.

Not at all.

• You will be exposed to various styles of yoga, you will be equipped to teach either YOGAFAITH or many traditional styles of yoga. After completion you will have the opportunity to be placed on the YOGAFAITH’s directory locator at no charge to you as long as you hold a current YogaFaith certificate.
• We recommend you register with the Christian Yoga Association, CYA, as a Trainer (R-CYAT) or Master Trainer (R-CYAMT), depending on the course you completed. There is a minimal annual fee and CYA offers great resources for the Christian Yogi. This will allow potential students and customers to find your offerings.
• It is essential that you uphold your credentials from YOGAFAITH, R-YFT, the accrediting agency and school. These credentials are more important than any memberships based organization or alliance.

A YogaFaith Miracle Immersion is, in it’s simplest term, a God-bath, A Drenching, a Soaking or an immersion. These are life altering, empowering encounters where you will hear from the Holy Spirit about purpose, directions and next steps towards your ministry.

Immersions are also a place where:

• No experience is needed
• You will dive deep into His presence and Word and learn how to redeem biblical principles for His glory
• You will be completely safe and not feel you are compromising your faith for the sake of yoga
• You will learn Yogic principles and philosophies and postures of prayer
• You will leave completely transformed, equipped and empowered
• You will be awakened to numerous paths but with a clear direction to your God-given purpose and destiny
• You will become a Registered YogaFaith Trainer, R-YFT and eligible to register with the Christian Yoga Association

YOGAFAITH is centered on the Word of God and the scriptures in The Holy Bible. There are yogic techniques that we compare to Christ and the Bible, but it is for study and comparison just with any other type of education. As a yoga training ground, we would be doing a disservice to our students if we didn’t observe other yoga traditions, techniques and philosophies. However, we do not require any text books that conflict with the the word of God or Christianity.

• We desire students to graduate as confident and knowledgeable instructors, able to relate to different people groups and have a deep understanding of who they are in Christ.
• We are also committed to the highest standards of training on sound, biblical doctrine. We offer a variety of Specialty Trainings if you are interested in a specific area of study. Specialty Training’s
• Whatever path you choose at YOGAFAITH will equip you to be a knowledgeable and effective instructor.

If you practiced yoga before conception it is okay to continue, it’s a great option for physical fitness during pregnancy and a wonderful way to ease anxiety, stress, or tension. You (may) want to avoid inversion postures or compressing the abdominal at any time during your pregnancy. Yoga will help strengthen the pelvic area, normalize thyroid functions and blood pressure, these are all great benefits to you and the baby. You will learn about Pre- and Post- Natal Yoga during training as well as be trained by professionals that will guide you into modifications during your time at YogaFaith. Yoga is an exceptional way to connect with Christ, pray, and bond with your unborn baby.

Asana is not required, only being present at all the trainings is required.

Absolutely! You will have a front row seat to Yoga Therapeutics, yoga created for those with limitations. We dive into chair yoga and yoga for limitations, what better time for you to truly experience these applications. This will be a time for you to rest, absorb and practice yoga therapy firsthand.

Again, asana is not required, only being present at all training sessions is required.

Also note a Miracle Immersion as well as Specialty Trainings are very intensive days of learning lectures, asana and student demonstrations. Our days begin very early and end very late. Self care is vital during our time together.

You do not have to complete modules to come to an immersion.

No matter where you are in the journey of the modules you can attend a hands on training. At immersion you will get the hands on component of what you learned in your modules. The order doesn’t matter, you can complete your modules and then come to immersion or attend an immersion and then complete your modules.

• To receive your 100 Distant R-YFT Certification, you will need to complete all five online modules, pass the respective quizzes and send your final in. You may then register with the Christian Yoga Association in addition to being Registered with YogaFaith.
• To receive your 200 Hour R-YFT Certificate on the last day of immersion, you will need to complete all Modules and respective quizzes, and all sessions at immersion.
