Why an Online Training

The time and cost of travel can make continuing education cost prohibitive. An online program allow you to complete the studies in your own timeframe and prevents having to travel long distances or abroad.

Why Teach Aqua Yoga

If you're an aquatics professional or a yoga teacher, aqua yoga is a natural modality to add to your offerings.

You'll make more money and improve the lives of more people by making a splash in your community.

Expand Your Income

As a yoga teacher, aqua yoga can reduce the seasonality of your income. Lots of teachers face student declines during the summer - summer is the busiest season for aqua yoga and expands your offerings to more locations and more people.

Expand Who You Serve

There's a huge percentage of the population who is not well served by traditional mat yoga - aqua yoga is accessible to them. Aqua yoga is kinder on your body to teach as an aquatics professional and expands your offerings.

Expand Your Skillsets

Working in the medium of water expands your teaching skills and makes you a better teacher of land yoga. Adding aqua yoga to existing aquatics programs helps you bring in new clients and offer existing clients new classes.

Words from teachers I've trained

I completed Christa’s Intro to Aqua Yoga course recently and am thoroughly enjoying this water practice for myself and plan to teach it to others soon. Christa is a very good communicator and diligent in the execution of her training and responses. I was so impressed by her responsiveness and efficiency. She treated each of the participants with respect and friendliness. She teaches with a lot of enthusiasm and knowledge and I learned a lot about yoga in general, but specifically the adaptation of land yoga to a water practice. She gives you many, many tools and lots of personal assistance. I highly recommend all her courses.

When you're evaluating a training

You want to work with someone who's a leader in the field who has a track record of teaching and supporting others as they step up.

I very enthusiastically recommend this online course. Christa’s instructions are careful and thorough. Christa’s background and expertise cannot be over-emphasized. Through experience and training she has developed methods of safely leading individuals with physical limitations as they explore exercise effectively.
