On behalf of MBody Yoga, it is my privilege to warmly welcome you to our program. We are honored you are offering us the opportunity to assist you in fulfilling your personal and professional goals. We look forward to sharing our enthusiasm about the program with you and are delighted that you have made the commitment to participate.
We
want you to know that our program is more than taking classes and attending
monthly weekend workshops. We are here to support you. We are available to
answer your questions, assist you in any way we can, and our commitment to you
will not end after certification. Our objective is to help you take the
rewarding step from student to teacher. We will be here to assist you in getting
started as a teacher, opening a center, and continuing your education if you so
choose.
The transition from student to teacher is a rewarding one. If we pass on even a fraction of joy and satisfaction we have found through yoga, this program will be a great blessing to you, to your students, and to your students’ students.
We cannot stress how important your practice will be. It is the key to fully understanding the Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga system and being able to teach with confidence and insight.
To help facilitate your studies the following benefits are included in your MBY Teacher Training program:
1. Complimentary classes, workshops, and bootcamps at MBY from acceptance to
completion of certification.
2. 20% discount on all retail purchases through final weekend intensive
(excluding lululemon).
If there is anything we can do to enhance the program and make the process more meaningful and compatible to you, we would like to know. We would also appreciate receiving your impressions of the course as the program goes on. We know you will find the MBY Teacher Training Certification program to be of tremendous value on every level of your life, and we look forward to working with you and getting to know you better.
Warmest Blessings,
