To the Christian yogi who wants to teach yoga:
GIVE US 8 WEEKS AND YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO START TEACHING YOGA...
...AND ACTUALLY MAKE MONEY DOING IT!
It's not enough to just learn the basics of teaching yoga! It's crucial to learn how to apply that knowledge to the real world and put it into action!
This fully online & self-paced training will give you the confidence and the tools to step into your calling, start teaching yoga & changing lives, and generate income for you and your family!
Speaking of action...
SEE WHAT TYPES OF RESULTS OUR STUDENTS HAVE BEFORE THEY EVEN FINISH THE PROGRAM!
Of course you’ll learn all the basics of teaching yoga and how to weave Jesus into it.
We're a Jesus first sort of yoga crowd, so you don't have to worry about worshipping gods from other religions. After all, yoga isn't a religion. It's yoking breath and movement...and we get to choose what we're yoking to (or just get in a good workout!).
But if you're going to teach yoga, it's important to have an understanding of the fundamentals.
We’ll cover yoga history, anatomy, alignment, meditation & breathwork, sequencing, cueing, etc.
We'll also cover yoga from a Christian perspective and show you how to infuse Christ into your classes.
Whether you want to start teaching for your local studio, build your own tribe & business and live life on your terms, or start your own studio (all of which we've done), we've got you covered!
You’ll also learn things like:
- How to find your voice as a yoga teacher and connect with the right people
- How to market yourself on social media and get people in your classes
- How to turn a class into an experience and keep your students coming back for more!
You’ll also get to peer into the mind of seasoned teachers and hear their thoughts as they lead classes in real time!
They’ll pause and explain what they’re thinking as they go through their class, talking you through the decisions you have to make and the options you can take.
From questioning if this is the right thing for her to KNOWING this is where she's supposed to be!
Let us show you what's waiting for you once you join our 200 hour yoga teacher training...
8 Main Modules that contain video and written content specifically created to move you forward in your teacher journey...and not just teach you stuff, but actually help you put it into action!
MODULE 1: ORIGINS
It's important to understand where yoga came from, and what it is (and isn't) both from a cultural appreciation standpoint and as Christians. This empowers you to boldly share with Christians why it’s OK to do yoga, and build your practice (and your student's practice) with confidence.
Inside you'll discover:
- The TRUTH about the roots of yoga and how it impacts us as followers of Christ.
- How to talk to Christians who question if you should do yoga without getting defensive or frustrated.
- The quickest way to start teaching, build confidence, and earn income teaching yoga
PLUS you'll roll out your mat and start working on some basic postures and sequences! 🙌
-AND MORE!
MODULE 2: PRINCIPLES
Whether you feel called to teach faith based classes to support, strengthen, and encourage fellow Christians, or you feel called to reach non-believers and show them the love of Christ (teach what we call "neutral" classes)…or maybe it’s both...having a grasp of these 8 yoga principles is crucial.
In the end YOU get to decide what you want to teach and who you want to reach, and we’ll equip you to do that.
Inside you'll discover:
- How to line up the principles of yoga with God’s word so that you can effectively influence the lives of those around you both on and off the mat.
- The secret to living a life of purpose and meaning
- The most effective way to teach "neutral" classes and still shine God's light without triggering non-believer's defenses.
-AND MORE!
MODULE 3: ENERGY
Have you ever been around someone who just lights you up or energizes you?
You’ve probably noticed how people seem naturally gifted to lead in certain ways. Some are empathic, some are intuitive, some lead with their hearts, some are discerning, some are very grounded (just to name a few).
Whether you're aware of them yet or not, YOU have special giftings and have the same ability to energize others!
Learning more about your body’s energy empowers you to uncover and walk fully in your giftings, and in this module we’ll explore these energy centers in the body (also known as Chakras).
Inside you'll discover:
- How everything has energy (including our bodies) so that you can tap into your God-given gifts and be a light in a dark and hurting world.
- The simple strategy for creating variety in your practices that keep your students engaged and energized (and coming back for more!)
- The essential ingredients to overcome the disconnection between our mind, body and heart.
-AND MORE!
MODULE 4: ANATOMY AND MOVEMENT
This module will give you a basic understanding of the components of the body and how it moves. We don’t go crazy here (we’re not studying to be an M.D., after all). But we need to be familiar with the kinds of movements that put the body at risk so we can keep our student’s healthy and help them understand what’s going on in their body.
Inside you'll discover:
- Basic human anatomy so that you can keep you and your students safe.
- How certain muscles work together so you can design classes & sequences that target specific muscle groups and bring relief to common issues.
- The single most important factor in avoiding injuries.
-AND MORE!
MODULE 5: SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES
Sometimes we hear the word discipline and connect it with something hard…so maybe using the word “tool” would be a better fit!
They are for our good and help us better steward the body and mind that God gave us...and help us lead more effectively!
Inside you'll discover:
- How to cultivate spiritual disciplines so that you can strengthen your body, your mind, AND your faith.
- The secret to avoiding burnout and spiritual fatigue.
- How to amplify your impact without sacrificing balance in your life.
-AND MORE!
MODULE 6: BREATHWORK AND ALIGNMENT
Do you ever feel stressed or anxious? If you’re alive, you probably said yes. And if you said yes, you probably need more breathwork in your life!
People (especially your students) are shallow breathing all day long. Most people rarely stop to take a deep breath. We’re so busy, stressed out, and anxious, and many of us are not breathing deeply anymore.
We'll also go deeper into sequencing and alignment.
Inside you'll discover:
- How to use ancient principles of breathwork so you can eliminate unwanted stress and anxiety and make inner peace your new normal…and do the same for your students!
- The essential ingredients to crafting an irresistible sequence (class) that will have your students coming back for more, time and again!
- The core elements of alignment so you can keep your students safe and healthy.
-AND MORE!
MODULE 7: GOING DEEPER
In module 7 we’re going to take things up a notch, but also slow things down. A little bit of yin, a little bit of yang.
We’ll be covering how to cue students through your sequence, how to do hands-on adjustments and assists, and how to help students experience a pose in a way that’s in alignment with their practice level (making new students feel comfortable and supported while still challenging your veterans!)
We’ll also work on meditation and bring stillness into the equation.
Inside you'll discover:
- The secret to finding real stillness in your meditation practice...and helping your students do the same!
- How to be sensitive to your student's needs and help keep them feeling comfortable and safe.
- How to adjust and assist students to keep them safe, to feel a posture more deeply, and to help them feel loved and taken care of.
-AND MORE!
MODULE 8: OFF THE MAT
Now it's time to dive into some "off the mat" skills that are just as important as our skills on the mat.
After all, if you can't communicate effectively and mindfully and handle the ethics and business side of things, you won't have any students to teach (or will quickly run them off).
Inside you'll discover:
- How to communicate mindfully so your students feel respected, encouraged, and supported.
- The simple strategy to attract new students and fill up your classes.
- The surprising truth about setting and reaching business and personal goals
-AND MORE!
Mariette joined us all the way from the Netherlands! She loved that she can do it all online.
Why We're Not Charging As Much As We Should For This Training:
Our community has been asking us to put together our own online course so more people can get certified and take the amazing benefits of yoga to a hurting, anxious, and stressed out world.
So we've partnered with Misty Elliott, Master Trainer R-CYAMT to craft the training we WISH we had when we were starting out!
Not only are you learning the nuts and bolts of teaching yoga, but when you join our 200 Hour YTT you'll also be learning from the whole CDY team about the "off the mat" side of things. We want to springboard your success and help you skip a lot of the painful trial and error we went through to figure all this stuff out!
If you've looked around at all the options, you know getting certified can be expensive, and it can be unclear how you'll recoup your investment. That's why we're including some amazing bonuses to help you actually make money as a yoga teacher! And we want to make this affordable to get this training into as many hands as possible, and impact as many lives as possible.
That's why we're NOT going to charge THOUSANDS for this course.
If you'd love our help and guidance to learn how to teach yoga (and actually make money doing it!), your investment is just one installment of $497!

Not sure what a series is? Let me share a quick story.
I accidentally made $1,260 teaching 4 classes, right before I was ready to quit! How, you might be wondering? By teaching a series!
One of the few connections I had made in my new [and very small] town asked me if I would teach another class, because she had found so much healing in the classes I had been offering in a local park (because I had nowhere else to teach at the time).
I told her if she could get 5 others to come at $35/person, that I would teach a series of 4 classes and give it to her for free.
Those 5 people showed up…along with 31 others!
I was shocked! Here I was expecting to make $175, and instead was paid $1,260! Cue all the feels…I was about to quit, and God shows up like this.
That was a pivotal moment for me, and it set the trajectory for the business model I use now.

So Now It's Time For You To Make One Of Two Choices...
If you're feeling that tug in your heart, the fact that you're on this page is not by chance.
It isn't a coincidence that you came across our training in this particular season and time in your life.
One of our graduates (Jessica) answered said beautifully: "If you are feeling that pull to get certified, I just want to leave you with this --> God doesn't place things on your heart by accident. However, it is your job to fully trust Him and take that leap."
The Lord meets you where you are, but He can't do the work for you. He knocks on the door, but you have to open it.
We know it can be scary to step into the unknown and stretch outside of our comfort zones.
Especially when we don't feel qualified.
Can you relate? None of us here at CDY felt qualified. We all battled those "Who are we to do this?" thoughts. BUT...we pressed on anyway, in spite of fear. Like we often say around here...we did it afraid!
HERE'S THE TRUTH:
God doesn't call the qualified, he qualifies the called.
Said another way: If He calls you, He’ll equip you.
The challenging part is the call comes first. We have to take steps of faith first. Before we feel ready. Before we know all the details. Before we have all the answers.
But chances are good that you’ve experienced this before in your life. And when you look back, you can see His hand at work, and see how He proves Himself faithful.
The TRUTH is you have the time, the strength, and the energy to do what God has called you to do.
He lives inside you, and His power gives you what you NEED to do what He's called you to DO.
So if you feel that tug on your heart, we're here to give you a gentle nudge, to support and help guide you for this next part of your journey.
But CHOOSE Quickly!
There has never been a better time than right now to get certified!
Don't miss out on the chance to transform yourself, your practice, and your life (and the lives of those you're called to reach).
You CAN do it. With the right mindset, with the right tools, and with the right support, you can transform your life and the lives of others in your world. And our whole team will be there to help.
Do don't waste another year dreaming about what could be.

WHICH STORY INSPIRES YOU THE MOST?
Their story could be YOUR story!
"I was nervous because I don't look like a typical yoga teacher"
Not only was Jenn relatively new to yoga, but she also has hesitations because she's been bigger bodied her whole life and wasn't sure she'd be able to teach yoga. But through the training she learned that she was more than capable, and was taught everything she needed to know to start teaching (including how to modify when certain things are outside of your practice, and how to safely cue more advanced students to do things you're not able to do).
"I'm pretty new to yoga...what am I going to teach?"
Samantha is a busy working professional who was also working toward personal training and nutrition certifications. Yoga came out of the blue for her, and at the time seemed like a distraction...but ended up being the very thing that opened the door to serve in her life's calling where her own plans had previously failed.
"I just wanted to expand my practice...now I can't wait to teach the next class!"
Kristi wasn't even planning on teaching, but after getting into the program and doing some practice classes with some friends, she was hooked! Now she loves teaching and can't wait to teach the next class!
"When am I going to have time to get certified?"
Getting certified has been on Ashley's bucket list for years. But being a busy working mom of 3, she's struggled to find the right program that would work around her schedule. When our fully virtual YTT came along, it checked all the boxes and was a perfect fit!
MEET YOUR INSTRUCTORS
(who also doubted they had what it took to become a yoga teacher)
Misty Elliott
After getting certified to teach, Misty discovered a ministry and calling that was buried inside her. Now God uses her to help others find freedom and healing, and it all started because someone asked her to get certified and start teaching! Can you imagine what it would be like to discover something so amazing inside of you?
Sheridan Teague
Even though she KNEW she wanted to be a yoga teacher and inspire others, Sheridan was still nervous about it and not sure if she had what it took. You might be wondering what she has that you don't...but hopefully you're starting to see that everyone has doubts and fears, and your dreams are just on the other side of those fears! If they can do it, so can you!
Kristen Campbell
Among other things, Kristen loves the flexibility that comes with being able to setup her work around her life, to live life on her terms. Where would your life be if this were your story too?

What if I'm afraid of being in front of people?
Do I have to complete it in 8 weeks?
How much time will be required each week?
What can I expect when I enroll in your 200 Hour YTT?
If I don't know if I want to teach, but I want to go deeper in my practice, will this course still benefit me?

I have an [injury, illness, or other physical limitation] and my practice is more on the slow & gentle side. Can I still go through this training?
Would your training equip me to teach yoga in a "secular" environment?
Would this training allow me to earn CEUs for other certifications I hold?
Where do Christian yoga teachers teach? How do you find students? It’s definitely a niche
Are there live classes I'll have to attend, or can I watch the videos on my own schedule to complete it?
Do I have to already be good at certain poses to be a yoga teacher? I'm not advanced.
Are there any additional resources to purchase?
What if I have more questions?
