Yahweh Yoga Addresses Global Demand for Christian Yoga Teachers With New Online Teacher Training Program

CHANDLER, AZ, Jun 26 (MARKET WIRE) --
Yahweh Yoga Christian Yoga Teaching Academy located in Chandler, Arizona,
has just completed pilot testing their new online teacher training
curriculum. This program is designed to instruct Christians interested in
health how to teach yoga in a Christ-centered atmosphere.

Enrollment is now underway for new class cohorts starting July 25 and
October 24, 2009.

"There is such a demand for Christian Yoga teachers everywhere," says
Yahweh Yoga Co-Founder DeAnna Smothers. "We field calls daily from people
all over the world wanting to find a class in their area. Plus, we know
that in this economy people are looking for ways to make more money. We
created our online program to make Christian Yoga teacher training
accessible to people across the globe."

Wide-Ranging Curriculum

Students enrolling in the program undertake a comprehensive program that
covers the gamut of knowledge and skills needed to teach Christian Yoga
professionally. The curriculum
includes:

-- Christian Yoga Philosophy

-- Nutrition and Healthy Living

-- Marketing for Christian Yoga

-- Yoga Industry

-- Anatomy and Physiology

-- Alignment and Postures

-- Teaching Methodology

The online portion of the class is followed by a 10-day face-to-face
class at the Yahweh Yoga teaching center in Chandler, Arizona.

"Our original program is 22 days at our studio and many students find that
time commitment to be prohibitive," says Smothers. "Now, with only 10-days
on-site, many more people can undertake the training needed for a new
career in Christian Yoga."

Stringent Course Development

To develop their online program, Yahweh Yoga hired a team of Educational
Technology PhD candidates from Arizona State University to ensure the
curriculum was more than simply putting class materials online. "Our class
designers used the latest research findings to create coursework that is
instructionally sound, easy to use technologically, and promotes student
fellowship," Smothers says.

Feedback from pilot testing students confirmed the value of the
labor-intensive development involved in creating the program. "The web
classroom was easy to navigate," says program graduate Tamara Buschel.
"The instructors care greatly about their students and are very quick to
reply by e-mail to answer any questions or concerns."

Background

Christian Yoga is sometimes misunderstood in both secular yoga and
Christian circles. Since yoga is a health-promoting practice not based in
any religion, many secular practitioners question what is meant by
"Christian" yoga. Similarly, many Christians are put off by the chanting,
Sanskrit words, and other seemingly new-age rituals found in many secular
yoga classes.

Christian yoga melds the two worlds: it takes the health-promoting
practices of traditional yoga and combines it with music, prayer, and
reflection suited to a Christian audience. "Our bodies are God's
temples," says Courtney Chalfant, Yahweh Yoga Co-Founder. "Christian Yoga
is perfect for people wanting to get into shape as well as athletes
searching for non-impact workout alternatives."
