Aqua Yoga Online Foundational Teacher Training

This foundational Aqua Yoga teacher training is designed for experienced movement professionals who want to teach in water with greater clarity, safety, and confidence.

This training is especially well-suited for:

• Aqua fitness instructors with at least 1–2 years of teaching experience who want to move beyond choreography and offer more mindful, therapeutic, and inclusive classes

• Yoga teachers who are curious about teaching in water and recognize that land-based yoga does not translate directly into aquatic environments

• Movement and wellness professionals who work with older adults, people with joint sensitivity, chronic pain, or varying mobility levels

• Instructors who value nervous-system awareness, accessibility, and ethical teaching over intensity or performance

Participants should already be teaching or preparing to teach regularly and feel comfortable practicing independently in a pool setting.

• Brand new to teaching movement and have no prior instructor training

• Looking for fast-paced, high-intensity, or choreography-based aquatic workouts

• Seeking a governing-body certification, licensure, or job placement guarantee

• Uncomfortable with self-directed learning, reflection, or slower, inquiry-based practice

This training is intended as professional refinement, not entry-level instruction.

Participants move through the training on their own schedule within each week.

There are no required live meetings.

Each week includes:

• Short pre-recorded video lessons (60–90 minutes total)

• Demonstration and teaching labs (not full-length guided classes)

• Pool-based practice assignments completed in the participant’s own pool

• Reflection and teaching prompts

• Optional community discussion

Optional live mentorship or practicum sessions may be offered separately to those interested.

Aqua Yoga does not currently have a single governing or accrediting body. Upon successful completion of this training, participants receive a Certificate of Completion in Aqua Yoga Foundational Teacher Training.

This certificate represents:

• Completion of a structured, professional Aqua Yoga training
• Foundational competency in Aqua Yoga principles, sequencing, and teaching considerations
• Training grounded in yogic philosophy, therapeutic awareness, and accessibility

This training does not replace aqua fitness certification and does not grant licensure. Participants are responsible for teaching within their existing scope of practice and facility requirements.
