FYB Yoga Teacher Training Programs

 "The hands-on knowledge that I received, to make yoga safe and accessible to everyone, is amazing.  The teaching methodology taught here really makes sense and takes much of the fear of the unknown out of teaching." - T.M. 

Do you have a passion for yoga?  Would you like to share that passion with others?

FYB (Feel Your Best)® is internationally recognized, state licensed, Yoga Alliance registered at both the 200 and 500 levels, International Association of Yoga Therapists registered (one of 23 in the world), and one of the nations most established teacher training schools.  

FYB offers Certified Yoga Teacher (CYT) programs for those desiring to become yoga teachers.  Your studies may also lead to your becoming a Yoga Alliance - Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), upon completion of the full FYB Yoga Teacher Training Program.  Additionally, the training programs are open to those seeking to deepen their own yoga practice.

"I am very impressed with the completeness of your training program, including your down-to-earth presentation of anatomy and physiology, as well as your coverage of medical injuries.  The FYB Teacher Training is extensive compared to others!" - S.M.

The FYB History, Philosophy and Mission

FYB Yoga, a multi-style discipline, was designed so that all people can experience the numerous benefits of a personalized yoga practice.  It is based on the philosophy that yoga is for everyone, not just those who are physically flexible, healthy, and free of injury or medical conditions.  It is taught with fun and gentle guidance, and in a non-intimidating manner.  FYB Yoga, a Yoga Alliance recognized style, was founded in 1995 by Debra Mundt, E-RYT500, CPT, IAYT, YHP, RCYP.

"FYB was exactly what I needed.  I feel more equipped, more confident, and more in love and in awe of yoga than I ever imagined I would be." - J.L.

All FYB Trained Yoga Instructors are exceptionally qualified.  They have a very strong background in safety, proper alignment, and modifications for various levels of experience and special needs.  Because of this strong background, FYB Trained Instructors are qualified to teach gentle & therapeutic classes, or athletic & dynamic classes … and anything in between.  FYB Trained Instructors are trained with the philosophy, "The Person, Not The Pose"® woven throughout their training process. 

FYB Instructors and FYB Practitioners are located throughout the USA and on two continents.

The FYB Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) School began in response to the public's demand for highly trained, qualified yoga instructors, within an unregulated industry.  It is our mission to provide a comprehensive, quality, experiential education to those interested in becoming yoga teaching professionals, as well as those seeking to deepen their understanding and practice of yoga.  

Throughout the training program, Debra and the highly trained FYB Yoga Faculty emphasize the FYB philosophy, "The Person, Not The Pose"®.  Additionally, Debra and her faculty members get to know all of the students as individuals within a group setting.  Furthermore, our ratio of faculty to students is one we choose to keep small, so that you receive personalized attention.

"I've been studying yoga for many years and am now taking a class with an FYB Instructor at one of your Outreach Teacher-Staffing locations.  I really like the way she teaches, and can tell by her attitude and skill in the practice of yoga that you do a great job of training teachers.  Please send me an application for your teacher training." - S.H.

The Programs

FYB Teacher Training Programs are offered throughout the year, with class formats and schedules to fit your lifestyle!  

You may choose:

(A)  Our Multi-Level Program (for those looking for the ultimate in certification level & scheduling flexibility)

(B)  Our Comprehensive Program, which meets for one specified weekend a month for a 
period of eight months

(C)  Our Intensive Program, a 21-day training (with 3 days "off")

or

FYB is a premier, established Yoga Alliance - Registered Yoga School (RYS), having graduated over 20 groups from our Yoga Teacher Training Programs.  Additionally, it is projected that in 2007, the majority of new RYT's in Wisconsin will be FYB Program graduates!

FYB's curriculum exceeds the standards set forth by the Yoga Alliance (www.YogaAlliance.org). After completion of the FYB Comprehensive, Intensive, Private, or the sixth level of the FYB Multi-Level Program, you will automatically qualify for the Yoga Alliance designation of "RYT" (Registered Yoga Teacher). 

NEW!  Yoga Alliance approved FYB curriculum updates!

Ayurvedic Nutrition and Cooking Workshop.  Students will:

  • Learn about eating with Ayurvedic principles

  • Understand nutrition for their own doshas

  • Shop for, prepare, and eat a delicious, healthy meal based on Ayurvedic principles


Yoga Style Clinics.  Students are able to choose more in-depth studies from amongst several different yoga style options (e.g., Vinyasa, Restorative, Ashtanga, Iyengar, Ananda, etc.):

  • You learn, and participate in these classes, so that you may better internalize the various yoga styles

  • You develop and refine your teaching skills, your observation skills (learning to truly "see" students' alignment and energy), and your adjustment skills (getting off the mat to be able to assist students with alignment and energy flow), in order to become a more dynamic teacher

  • You may find a single yoga style, or a combination of yoga styles, that best reflects who you are as a teacher ("finding your own voice")

FYB Teacher Trainings are offered on a national basis (visit the Off-Site Training Programs section).  Locally, FYB Teacher Training locations are in Mequon, Grafton and West Bend.

Did you know that a recent study states that the average age of a yoga practitioner is in their mid 40s?  Did you know that yoga is the fastest growing segment in the health field?

Why do we take the extra, but very special steps of making certain that FYB Trained Instructors are properly trained?  Because yoga instructors have a very active role in their students' health as they guide their students through yoga postures.  

Your students may have several cars during their lifetime, but they only have one body!  If they wouldn't trust their car to an inadequately trained mechanic, why would they trust their body's health to an inadequately trained yoga instructor?

Most yoga injuries are attributed to poorly trained instructors.  FYB's mission is to properly train the best yoga instructors:

Why?  Because your students' health and safety means everything to you ... and to us!
