While many are already working in the fitness, wellness, or healthcare industries, others are just getting started through our program.

Are there prerequisites? (What if i have never coached before?)
This program is a four-level program, starting with level 1: Genius Break Coach certification, and then continuing with Team Well-Being Coach and Yoga Coach certifications. There are no pre-requisites for level 1, and each level is designed to progress you forward. This approach helps those who are new to coaching to learn the practice of coaching in a step-by-step fashion.
Do I start with self-paced or live training First?
Your first two levels of training are completely self-paced, with live monthly calls so you can ask questions and also "test out" (receive coaching feedback). Then, you'll combine live and self-paced trainings in levels 3 - 4.

Great news! Yes, continuing education credits are available from the Yoga Alliance, because your instructor Dr. Suzie Carmack, PhD is an ERYT 500.  Other CEC's are available by request from other fitness, wellness, and healthcare  fields and organizations, so please inquire.
