People join this training for many different reasons. Some want to better understand the therapeutic principles of Avita Yoga and apply them more effectively within their own practice.

Others are seeking greater mobility, healthier joints, stronger bones, relief from long-standing movement restrictions, or a more peaceful sense of self — in body and mind.
Many students have no immediate intention of teaching and simply wish to expand their understanding of movement, healing, breathwork, and self-awareness.

Others feel called to share Avita Yoga professionally and develop the observational, communication, and teaching skills necessary to help others in meaningful ways.

If you feel drawn to Avita Yoga and want to understand the practice more fully — whether for personal growth, greater freedom, or future teaching — this training may be an excellent fit.

Avita Yoga offers a distinctly different approach to movement and yoga education — one centered less on performance or flexibility, and more on mobility, joint health, therapeutic application, observation, and sustainable long-term change.

Students receive more than a certification. Rote memorization is rarely helpful. The training provides practical, applied anatomy and physiology that connects directly to Avita practice, everyday movement, structural support, and long-term joint function.

Students learn how to identify compensation patterns, work thoughtfully with movement restrictions, adapt practice to individual needs, and develop teaching skills for both online and in-person environments.

Rather than simply learning what to do, students learn how to observe more clearly, communicate more effectively, and support themselves and others through therapeutic movement, breathwork, self-awareness, and gentle, consistent practice.

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.
