Core Yoga Instructor Training 

In the Core Yoga training programs you will practice, study and learn to teach a full 75 minute Core Yoga class, blending the principles and techniques of yoga with the modern precision of Pilates.   

Core Yoga combines breath, awareness, core strengthening, and stretching techniques aimed at strengthening and mobilizing the body, focusing the mind, improving breathing and posture habits, and cultivating a practice of mindfulness in everyday life.

Core Yoga utilizes Vinyasas (flow) connecting elements to link together a sequence of movements to create a dynamic flow.

In the studio Core Yoga is our most popular class as students receive the benefits of both the mindful movement of yoga, as well as the core control and dynamic strengthening that the modern practice of Pilates offers. 

This course is suitable for yoga instructors, personal trainers, Pilates professionals, and anyone interested in diversifying their teaching and sharing the benefits of these two body/mind movement forms.

In this course you will learn:

  • The 5 Core Concepts
  • An introduction to the study and history of Yoga and Pilates
  • Anatomy for Core Yoga
  • Cuing, Correcting and Adjusting
