Reviews

An excellent, thorough introductory course for teaching the two main forms of yoga!

I loved this course and find the teachers are excellent!!

Fantastic understanding of yoga. Teachers were easy to work with and gave that personal touch --even though it was online. Videos were up to date and great quality.

Great program for busy fitness professionals that cannot participate in a local in person certification program. Looking forward to offering yoga to my clients and community.

This course was great and the YogaRenew instructors and system were amazing!

The YogaRenew 200-hr training allows you to learn about the history and philosophy of Yoga, as well as the asanas/poses & other "technical" aspects of the exercise. Personal trainers probably already have a good grasp of anatomy, but the anatomy instruction is excellent if you need a refresher. Also, you are provided many opportunities to practice teaching.

Become a Certified Yoga Teacher and transform the lives of others!
