About the Course
Clean sequences. Clear cues. Well-structured classes. That’s not the problem. You’re not teaching poses or sequences. You’re teaching real people — people with stress, distractions, expectations, and doubts. We’ve learned to teach to different bodies. This is about learning to teach to different mind states. Students don’t all arrive ready to receive the same way. Attention, capacity, and regulation shift in real time — and that directly impacts how your teaching lands. This certification builds on and expands the ideas introduced in the book, developing them into a structured approach for making clear, applied teaching decisions in real time — so your instruction lands with more clarity, consistency, and impact. Completion of this course counts as 20 hours of continuing education for yoga teachers. Required Reading: This certification includes required reading from Neuroscience-Informed Yoga Teaching. The book is not included in the course and can be purchased separately on Amazon.

About the Creator
Valerie Lucas is the creator of the Neuroscience-Informed Yoga Teaching™ framework and a curriculum designer focused on advancing teaching methodology in modern yoga spaces. After leading and scaling national teacher-training programs across more than 200 studios, her work shifted beyond what to teach and into how teaching is received, processed, and applied in real time. NIYT™ reflects that evolution. It offers a structured approach for teachers ready to refine how they deliver what they already know.
What Teachers Are Saying
Responses to Neuroscience-Informed Yoga Teaching™
As a long-time teacher with multiple certifications and trainings under my belt, this work is challenging my teaching and thought process in the best way. From its structure to the practical application, it’s a powerful reminder that how we teach is just as important — if not more so — than what we teach.
