Yoga Teacher Certification
Yoga is an ancient and long established system of well-being. Tools such as physical posture, meditation, mindfulness and intentional breathing provide practitioners with a wide range of benefits including physical, mental, and emotional while emphasizing proactive health management.
The 200 hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) certification at Kean University is offered at both the Union and Ocean campuses through the School of Health and Human Performance. The certification is awarded through Yoga Alliance and can be obtained while taking the Yoga Studies Minor or taken on its own. The RYT will provide students the knowledge and insight needed to teach yoga as a career or to use yoga as a tool when working with clients. The certification will support professionals in various fields such as physical therapists, recreational therapists, occupational therapists, personal fitness trainers, athletic trainers, mental health professionals, educators and more.
