Introducing the next generation of Yoga Teacher Training: NAFC Yoga 200. This course was especially designed to make the practice of yoga accessible to all.

The benefits of a consistent yoga practice have been well-established. Why then are people not practising Yoga regularly? At NAFC, we understand that a key reason that students are reluctant to try a yoga class is due to yoga not being presented in a way that is accessible. NAFC’s mission is to make yoga accessible to all by removing the fallacies, and adding the science. This course will also teach instructors how to use a common language, offer modifications and help students progress gradually and safely. Instructors can expect to gain a strong understanding of how and when to use props and tools to assist students in a wide variety of postures.
