WHY NAFC YOGA 200 TEACHER TRAINING?

The benefits of a consistent yoga practice have been well-established. Why then are people not practicing Yoga regularly? At NAFC, we understand that a key reason that students are reluctant to try a yoga class is due to yoga not being presented in a way that is accessible. NAFC’s mission is to make yoga accessible to all by removing the fallacies, and adding the science. This course will also teach instructors how to use a common language, offer modifications and help students progress gradually and safely. Instructors can expect to gain a strong understanding of how and when to use props and tools to assist students in a wide variety of postures.

Introducing the next generation of Yoga Teacher Training: NAFC Yoga 200™. This course was specifically designed to make the practice of yoga accessible to all.

WHAT’S PROVIDED WITH YOGA 200 TEACHER TRAINING

The Teacher Training Course offers insight into the basic history of Yoga, the anatomical theory and practical application components required to properly explain, demonstrate, and instruct yoga with confidence. Instructors will learn proper sequencing and design of a safe, effective and accessible Yoga class.

The NAFC Yoga 200™ manual contains sample classes, a complete breakdown of each posture, an overview of the anatomy of yoga, and general philosophies of yoga practice. Upon completion of this course, instructors will gain a strong foundation as well as the skills needed to create classes which are accessible for all populations, including young and old and from experienced to beginner level yoga practitioners.

YOGA ALLIANCE – THE NAFC PERSPECTIVE

A Yoga Alliance certificate does not denote the credential, accreditation, or credibility one may be lead to believe. Being registered with Yoga Alliance does not constitute a genuine education credential.

Yoga Alliance does not conduct certification exams or independent assessments of any Registered Yoga Teachers (RYT®s). Rather, the RYT® credential is derivative of the Registered Yoga School (RYS®) or school registry and is entirely voluntary.

This is where an organization such as NAFC, with true educational accreditation and licensure, comes into play.

NAFC’s mission is to provide substantive, proven fitness and health education to professionals in the industry, ensuring their credibility and value to clients, members, and even medical professionals. The Yoga 200™ certification course is a part of this mission.

PERSONAL TRAINING COURSES INCLUDE:

• Personal Training Practical Application Workbook:

  The Personal Training Practical Application Workbook is a reference manual and a practical guide illustrating the concepts, proper range of motion and body mechanics, that will enable students to become successful trainers and stand out among their peers in the industry.

  – CEC NAFC: 0.70 NESTA: 0.70

  The NAFC mission is to educate the student trainer to become a critical thinking movement specialist, enabling them to be a successful, well rounded and knowledgeable Personal Trainer. In addition, we are introducing a new concept, our innovative NAFC Risk/Benefit Equation (R/BE).
