People join this training because they want to understand better the unique, healing characteristics of Avita Yoga and how they can apply them to their personal practice. These people often attend the training to resolve specific issues, cultivate lifelong mobility, strong bones, and a peaceful mind. Some, who had no desire to teach, are inspired and surprised to discover that they want to teach and share Avita with others. If you appreciate Avita Yoga and want to understand it better so you can help others, this training is clearly 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.

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 or time. 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.

For Part 1 (Teacher Essentials), the course is delivered over six months, combining pre-recorded content with live online sessions (monthly on the second Saturday + optional fourth Saturdays) plus paired teaching practice online. Part 2 (Advanced Therapeutics) is an in-person retreat where you develop hands-on skills, learn pattern analysis, and refine your teaching aptitude.

Commitment means showing up: attending the live monthly online sessions, watching the prerecorded content, practicing teaching with a partner each month, engaging with the material, and being willing to move both personally and professionally. While you’ll find flexibility (sessions are recorded, and there’s online content you can revisit), this is a six-month deep dive, and it works best if you engage actively with the process.

Yes — upon completion of Part 1, you will receive a teaching certificate of completion that enables you to teach Avita Yoga. Part 2 is optional but recommended if you want to delve 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. Part 2 requires completion of Part 1.
