Namaste!
Your Journey Begins Here
The world needs yoga and yoga teachers now more than ever! Yoga may be a $84 billion dollar worldwide industry, but the demand for new yoga teachers is not as over saturated as it may seem. New studies show that 59% of Americans do not plan to renew their gym, yoga studio or fitness center membership when the pandemic ends. People have adapted to (and more importantly) enjoy the convenience of exercising at home. Yoga, meditation and mindfulness practices have always been an important part of becoming and staying healthy from the inside out.
What is Virtual Yoga Pro?
Virtual Yoga Pro, by Light & Love Yoga is an entry-level, virtual course designed to increase your knowledge of yoga and wellness for personal growth and/or to begin a virtual yoga and wellness-based business.
Course Content Includes:
Whether you are a yoga enthusiast who is brand new to teaching or an experienced fitness professional in another discipline, this accessible and comprehensive training will equip you with the most important essentials and give you the strong foundation needed for teaching safe and effective virtual yoga classes with confidence!
This practical and highly informative course is geared towards those who:
Have a strong desire to help, encourage and motivate others.
Are seeking an alternative route to train as a yoga instructor outside of the traditional 200-hour teacher training model.
Are self-driven and self-motivated to complete the course requirements through independent study.

Have an entrepreneurial spirit and a willingness to take ownership of creating your own opportunities.
Why Should I Enroll in the Virtual Yoga Pro Course?
200-hour yoga teacher training programs are an important and necessary revenue stream for brick and mortar yoga studios. This is one of many reasons why yoga teacher training programs often cost thousands of dollars and are run multiple times per year.
The majority of those 200-hours is often spent learning the history and spiritual practices of yoga rather than equipping you with the tools needed to guide a successful class for your clients. The history of yoga as a spiritual practice is absolutely important! However, I believe that a more practical approach to training and developing your teaching skills should be the ultimate goal of a yoga training. The Virtual Yoga Pro course places its emphasis on helping you to build a strong and solid foundation by learning how to teach.
Learning about yoga is a life-long endeavor. You will always have the opportunity to branch out and learn more about the practice of yoga in all its entirety as you further develop your skills and knowledge base as an instructor over time.
Because this course is completed via independent study, the number of hours it will take you to complete the requirements of the course will be determined on your own schedule. You will have one year to complete the course starting the day of your enrollment.
In terms of content, the Virtual Yoga Pro Course is about 20 hours of material. This total number of content hours puts the Virtual Yoga Pro training in the realm of foundational trainings for yoga that are offered for personal trainers and other fitness industry professionals.
Through 13 chapters, 83 lesson modules and 70 videos demonstrating proper alignment, breath and cueing of the foundational yoga postures in real time - the comprehensive written and video content of the Virtual Yoga Pro course includes much of the information that would be presented in a 200-hour yoga teacher training course in a more "bite-sized" format. There is also a final quiz option so that you can recieve a Certificate of Course Completion if you choose to.
