People join this training to better understand the unique, healing characteristics of Avita Yoga and how to apply them to their personal practice. Some attend the training to resolve specific issues with no specific plan to teach. Others join to cultivate lifelong mobility, strong bones, and a peaceful mind. If you appreciate Avita Yoga and want to understand it better for your personal health, or to experience the joy in helping others, this training is for you.

You’ll receive more than a certification: you’ll gain practical, applied anatomy and physiology that links directly to Avita practice, everyday movement, and joint health. You’ll learn how to identify and resolve compensatory patterns, build teaching skills online and in-person, and develop insight into the healing power of the mind. That means you’re not just learning what to do — you’re learning how to support yourself and others in movement, health, and meaning.

Our teacher training program holds American Yoga Council CYT Program Level 2 certification, which means it meets rigorous national standards for comprehensive yoga teacher education. This Level 2 designation reflects our in-depth curriculum and ongoing support system. This certification ensures you receive high-quality training that’s recognized by yoga studios, wellness centers, and yoga communities nationwide.

The American Yoga Council’s CYT (Certified Yoga Teacher) Program Level 2 certification indicates that our training program meets comprehensive standards for curriculum quality, instructor qualifications, student support, and educational outcomes. It’s a mark of excellence that demonstrates our commitment to providing outstanding yoga teacher education.

Yes! With AYC CYT Program Level 2 certification, you’ll have nationally recognized credentials that are respected throughout the yoga community. Many studios specifically look for teachers with accredited training, and Avita’s certification demonstrates your commitment to excellence and professional standards.

When in doubt, reduce pressure. Your body cannot heal under stress. While the practice relies on compression, it should never cause duress. The primary skill we learn as we go is to discern between pain and healing sensation. Pushing into pain is meaningless; dropping into healing sensation is everything. The primary skill you will learn is how to distinguish the difference.

There are two options for Level 1 Avita Teacher Certification – Essentials. You may enroll in the Self-Guided Program or join the hybrid version (mostly) in person. Consisting of prerecorded material from live trainings, the self-guided curriculum can be completed in as little as six months or over a full year.

Level 2 Avita Teacher Certification – The Advanced Training is held in person over 5 days and includes a practicum. There is new information and skill developement but in addition to a practicum, this certification is a demonstration of mastery.

For the self-guided curriculum, commitment means showing up: watching the prerecorded content, practicing your teaching skills as outlined, practicing the designated classes, and following them in your printed version. While you’ll find flexibility (sessions are recorded, and there’s online content you can revisit), this is a deep dive for the self-motivated, and it works best if you engage actively with the process.

For the in-person trainings, commitment means being present, listening, and asking questions. Commitment means showing up with your concerns and limitations and letting the yoga work for you. This is how we learn and grow. It’s honest. It means we don’t try to arrange ourselves to show up to please others or win people over.

Yes — upon completion of Level 1, you will receive a teaching certificate of completion that enables you to teach Avita Yoga. Level 2 is optional but recommended if you want to delve deeper into therapeutic and hands-on work. After certification, you’ll also have access to the Avita Teacher Community Network, ongoing support, marketing materials, and the ability to use the Avita Yoga® trademark.

Graduates get access to the Teacher Pass, which allows ongoing access to online classes with Jeff, workshops, and all content from the Avita Yoga Teacher Training. You get ongoing support with Jeff Bailey and fellow teachers, video instruction to address injuries and pattern compensation, marketing support, and materials. You’re not just finishing a training — you’re entering an ongoing community of practice and professional growth.

For Part 1 (online/hybrid), tuition is $2,800 full price, $2,500 early-bird. Payment plans are available in four $700 installments. Part 2 (in-person Advanced Therapeutics) is a separate $775 investment. All fees include the printable teacher’s manual and class plans.

Ask yourself: Do I feel called to help others move more freely, live with stronger joints and bones, and experience greater peace of mind? Am I willing to commit time and curiosity to learning, practicing, and teaching? Do I want to join a community of supportive peers and grow both personally and professionally? If yes, this training may be a powerful next step. If you’re unsure, feel free to schedule a call with Jeff HERE or send an email — we’re happy to answer questions and help you with your decision.

All live online sessions are recorded, so if you must miss one, you can view the recording later. We strongly encourage live attendance for interaction, Q&A, and partner teaching.

No yoga teacher training experience is required. In fact, because Avita Yoga principles are so unique, the less you know about yoga, the better. The primary prerequisite is your willingness to open your heart and mind to a new way of thinking. This means engaging, moving, learn, practicing, teaching, asking questions, and reflecting. You should have ample experience practicing Avita and a desire to support yourself and others with the Avita approach. Level 2 requires completion of Level 1.
