Course Overview

PRE Launch Enrollment ONLY: Certified YOGA Specialist course opens April 17, 2026. (Contingent on Textbook availability)

Move with purpose, alignment, and control. 

This focused track develops an applied command of yoga anatomy and yoga physiology within the AMP methodology, translating alignment principles, breathing coordination, and intelligent sequencing into structured teaching and training environments. Our AEFA texts are written by industry-leading professionals and ground the material in practical movement science rather than trend-based instruction. 

Learn to integrate posture analysis, breath mechanics, and sequencing strategy into one-to-one sessions and group-based environments. Emphasis is placed on movement awareness, neuromuscular coordination, structural balance, and rhythm of transition—so flexibility is taught with clarity and precision. 

Programming supports daily living activities, general wellness, aging mobility, and performance enhancement, while equipping professionals to lead structured yoga-informed sessions that complement personal training, group fitness, or stand-alone class formats. 

Make it fun. Make it a lifestyle. Make it your career.
