 Completion of this five-day, hands-on course: (Limited to 1-3 selected individuals), will give you a large quantity of field experience in JointYoga education.  With guidance, you’ll be interfacing with clients at our veterinary clinic, and the public. Following completion you’ll be qualified to teach the basic JointYoga certification course when you meet all required elements and demonstrate instructional skills and competence at a satisfactory level. Taking this course does not guarantee certification although if you meet all required elements and any suggested follow-up assignments, you’ll likely become qualified to teach the basic certification course. The JointYoga Instructor’s basic certification allows you to teach the JointYoga basic certification but does not qualify you to teach the instructor’s certification course.

4. Custom JointYoga courses are available in your area and will be facilitated by a certified instructor.
