This program was developed to help personal trainers incorporate yoga into their one-on-one sessions. Trainers can use yoga postures as their primary training method, or just incorporate it into the beginning and/or end of their weight training session. Finally, and not to be underestimated, Trainers can incorporate YogaFit's Transformational Language® into the work with their clients to encourage and motivate clients through positive/affirmative language that incorporates awareness and process orientation.
Teaching Include:
• Foundational alignment principles (SPA) for yoga drawn from exercise science for safety, while preserving
the effectiveness and traditional form of the poses.
• Precise alignment for the most effective and widely-used 38 basic postures of yoga.
