Yoga Tune Up® Certification Training
w/Lisa Hebert

Program Overview

The study of Yoga Tune Up® delves you deeply into integrated anatomy and body mechanics while helping you discover a fresh approach to teaching and leading no matter what movement modality you lead. You will go beyond formulaic instruction and truly learn to think, teach and coach *creatively* within your classroom and with individual clients.

YTU attracts students of all ages and body types as it breaks down the nuts and bolts of human movement and provides context-based teaching strategies for the classroom, clinic, gym or studio. It interweaves precise anatomy with a yogic lens of awareness, conscious relaxation, and body therapy to help every student live better in their body.

In this 70 hour Yoga Tune Up® Certification training, you will:

  • Become proficient and comfortable with the fundamentals of anatomy, physiology and biomechanics.
  • Learn a step-by-step process to create memorable, accessible classes and learn to “think out of the boxana.”
  • Refresh your love of teaching and learn new classroom leadership skills.
  • Be prepared to teach your own Yoga Tune Up® classes, privates, and more.

Total Body Tune-Up

This class introduces dozens of preparatory dynamic warm-ups that serve to tune up awareness, range of motion, and uncovering areas of weakness or kinetic disconnect. Explore every major joint of the shoulders, hips and spine to build a repertoire of conscious connected movement from top to bottom and inside out.

October 2

Hips Focus/Triangle Tune-Up

This class disassembles Triangle and Twisted Triangle poses and deeply analyzes hip range of motion from every conceivable angle. If these poses have been a bugaboo in the past, this class will clarify where your hips may need some extra attention. Class also includes deep core work.

October 3
— 10:45 AM - 12:45 PM —
Shoulder Focus Towards Downdog

Break down Down Dog before your Dog has a breakdown. Shoulder mobility, or lack thereof, can create multiple obstacles for doing this pose efficiently and harmoniously. Learn dozens of new shoulder tactics to improve this pose for the long-term while “un-tacking” trouble spots in the shoulder girdle.

October 4
— 10:45 AM - 12:45 PM —
Restorative Hips

Learn a profoundly relaxing sequence that restores motion and length to the entire hip joint. Reclaim your hips with this stealth sequence that unglues even the most reluctant of joints to become nimble, supple and supportive. Bonus pranayama sequences also assure rejuvenating deep rest.

October 6
— 10:45 AM - 12:45 PM —
Core and Spinal Rotation

This class explores the roots of total spinal rotation. Core musculature will be toned and lengthened from every vector. Your spine will learn to relate better to the pelvis for safe and connected twists from root to crown.

October 7
— 10:45 AM - 12:45 PM —
Core and Backbends

A spine prepares for backbends by understanding its own coordination, mobilization and limitations. This class digs through layers of core musculature to help you connect with the innermost abdominals to improve your performance of every category of backbend.
