Start here! This is your first step in becoming a certified yoga teacher! Gain the foundational tools and knowledge needed to become a certified yoga teacher and inspire others on their yoga journey!

Our comprehensive training equips you with safe, effective postures and techniques to create dynamic classes that resonate with today’s students.

Learn to create inclusive, engaging classes that foster community and connection, making every student feel welcome and supported on their personal yoga path.

The first step on the path toward becoming a yoga teacher or simply deepening your practice, YTT Foundations (Level One) provides the tools to create inspiring vinyasa yoga classes grounded in proper alignment and the safety of exercise science.

This is a video course on YogaFit Level One Teacher Training, featuring a one-day practicum to review and practice teaching with other enrolled students. Watch the videos and complete the activities. Then show up to practice!

While there are no prerequisites for this course, we do require that all attendees read Beth Shaw’s YogaFit prior to attending. This book explains the foundation of our entire teacher training program, and allows for better overall understanding of the material covered in our YTT Foundations (Level One) Training. Please email help@yogafit.com with any questions about YTT Foundations (Level One)!  We look forward to seeing you on the mat.

Note: In order to receive a Certificate of Completion for YTT Foundations (Level One), you must also complete eight hours of practice teaching as a community service, in which you bring the gift of yoga, free of charge, to individuals who would not usually be exposed to yoga on a regular basis. You will provide simple documentation concerning your service hours and submit to certs@yogafit.com. You will then receive your Level 1 Certificate.

You have one year from the date of your Level 1 Training to complete Community Service and apply for your Level 1 Certificate. We do understand that sometimes life events interfere with our plans. Please email certs@yogafit.com if you find that you may need an extension for completion.

Level 1 Community Service Hours
Congratulations on finishing the first 18 hours of our YogaFit Teacher Training program! In order to complete the YogaFit Teacher Training Program, each trainee must perform eight (8) hours of practice teaching. That’s 8 hours of teaching, utilizing YogaFit Level I Teacher Training skills, to a group of people who normally do not have the opportunity to experience the benefits of yoga. YogaFit Trainees have taught people from all walks of life. This Community Service Program gives us the opportunity to hone our teaching skills in a casual environment, while giving the gift of yoga to an appreciative group. It is truly a win-win situation for all involved and a benefit for our communities. Once you have completed your Community Service, please complete the following: • A Personal Letter outlining your community service experience, including specific dates and location of where classes were taught • A Verification Letter verifying the 8 hours taught, including specific dates. Letter must be signed by the facility/location where classes were taught or by the class participants You will submit your personal letter and verification letter as part of the final module of the program
