AAAI/ISMA’S In-Light-In Yoga Unity ® is Here!
The American Aerobic Association International and International Sports Medicine Association (AAAI/ISMA) has created a 200 Hour Yoga Certification Program that consists of our current individual certification workshops. Each certification workshop allows you to teach and gain knowledge and experience, as you accumulate hours towards our 200 Hour Yoga Certification. In addition to increasing your teaching credentials, you will also earn continuing education credits (CEC’s) towards the renewal of your existing AAAI/ISMA Certifications. All of the certifications you have already earned will count towards the 200 Hour Yoga Certification Program.
We have created an extensive offering of yoga certification options taught by our experienced Yoga Faculty that will add up to you achieving a 200 Hour AAAI/ISMA In-Light-In ® Yoga Unity Certification.
