Far Beyond Expectations

This is by far the best online instruction I've ever experienced. I highly recommend this course and any course Christa offers. It was incredibly organized with several modalities to learn the info. The platform, reading, recorded videos, live classes. There is an abundance of info and Christa is so accessible to answer questions, etc.

Why this training

It's fully online

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

It's the most complete

If this were an in-person training, it would four days of instruction. Since it's staggered out over six weeks, you have time to use and absorb the material and the practice.

You get the most support

Simple - Of the online aqua yoga courses available, this is the most complete, with the most face-to-face and digital support.

The course exceeded my expectations!

It's my third aqua yoga course and by far the best.
Your attention to detail and specificity, your videos doing each pose in conjunction with the written directions, variations, teaching tips, and pictures, all created a very comprehensive course.

Rikki

Aqua Pro

The course work is presented as audio, video, and written as well as personal face to face with Christa. She shares her love of yoga and water exercise is simple to understand words. Her explanations are true to every aspect of working with people in a pool setting.

Aqua yoga allows you to get real with your participants, because you are on a journey yourself: same yoga principles, different environment. How do you clearly, and effectively instruct a group of participants about water safety, exercise efficiency, safety and fun all at the same time? Christa touches on all of these aspects of Aqua Yoga in a very accessible way.

Personal,ly I found Aqua Yoga, as Christa presents the discipline, intriguing and stimulating. The coursework is not overwhelming.

I feel very confident with my new skills to provide Aqua Yoga instruction.
