The next evolution in student-centered teaching.
Student-centered teaching has advanced how we work with different bodies.
The next step is learning to teach to different mind states.
Students do not all arrive with the same capacity for attention, effort, or processing. Readiness, regulation, and instructional load shift in real time, shaping how a class is experienced and what students are actually able to take in.
The Neuroscience-Informed Yoga Teaching™ (NIYT™) Certification is designed to help yoga teachers understand and work with that layer of teaching more skillfully.
About the Certification
Clean sequences. Clear cues. Well-structured classes.
That is not always enough.
You are not just teaching poses or sequences. You are teaching real people. People with stress, distractions, expectations, and doubts.
This certification builds on and expands the ideas introduced in Neuroscience-Informed Yoga Teaching, developing them into a structured, applied approach for making clearer teaching decisions in real time.
Rather than adding more content, this training helps you sharpen how you assess, adapt, and deliver what you are already teaching so it can land with more clarity, consistency, and impact.
Completion of this course counts as 20 hours of continuing education for yoga teachers.
