About Academy of Holistic Fitness

Home Study Courses for Fitness Professionals

Over the past 16 years the Academy of Holistic Fitness has become recognized and respected within the fitness industry for our innovative and outstanding series of continuing education courses that feature yoga and mind-body fitness.

Our courses are special. We have taken great care to identify what you want to know and what you need to know to become a competent, creative, and compassionate holistic fitness educator. Our courses have been carefully crafted to provide you with the theoretical knowledge and technical know-how to create a variety of meaningful holistic fitness experiences for your students and your Self. 

We are not trendy, and we do not follow fitness fads or gimmicks. Our primary mission is to promote the traditional practices, teachings, and techniques of yoga and somatic-based education, and to present this information in a contemporary way that is appealing, interesting, understandable, and useful for today’s fitness professionals and their clients.  

We don’t just give lip service to the concept of mind-body fitness. As you study our courses, we encourage you to explore and experience the value and significance of mind-body practices firsthand, for this is the only way to really learn about something. We want each of you to know, with all certainty, that yoga and mind-body fitness practices can produce powerful positive changes within each individual practitioner. To this end, our courses promote the concept of Holistic Fitness as an ongoing process of self-discovery, understanding, and transformation that employs personal-reporting (introspection and somatic awareness) as a valid and reliable data source for scientific inquiry and documentation of results.

We hope our courses become valued resources that enhance both your career and your personal growth. Essentially, the Academy of Holistic Fitness courses are about Fitness with Dignity. We believe that health, fitness, and lifetime happiness are attained through a combination of physical, psychological, and spiritually-based training techniques, and that the essential qualities of poise, self-respect, inherent nobility, discipline, and self-worth are integral aspects of optimal wellness.
