I know you are busy (always, you're a Mom ,right?!), but if you have time I could use some input. I have been a certified instructor for several years and am wondering who you find to be the most reputable company to be certified through. I am certified in aerobic conditioning as well as weight training and pilates. I am up for renewal in December and thinking about going through another company. I am most interested in becoming certified in yoga and keeping my other certifications current. If you could just direct me to the appropriate place to search for certification and if you don't feel uncomfortable expressing your personal opinions I would appreciate it immensely. Thank you for your help! BTW, I just read all the hoopla about the writer and find it completely humorous. Have you posted the results of said meeting ? I would LOVE to see how things turned out for him. Although I am sure you are going to give the "professional" version. I bet it was soooo fun!
 
just trying one more time. I know you have been up to your ears with the Cathe Gear and Art. Thoroughly enjoyed the write up on your meeting. Probably more than HE enjoyed the actual thing LOL . Thanks for sharing!
 
Hi Momincharge! For general fitness certifications I favor ACE, AFAA, and ACSM. But I must honestly say that when it comes to yoga, the interest is not soley in the area of those in the fitness industry and therfore cannot recommend "the certification" of certification organizations that would best educate the fitness enthusiast for bringing yoga to their classes.

I will say that I chose to become certified through Beth Shaws Yoga Fit because after doing some research, I found it to be one of the few programs that focused on teaching yoga in a way that complemented my teachings in fitness industry. It was less "spiritual" and more athletic in my personal opinion. I was very pleased with the program.

Hope this helps. By the way, here is a link to the write up of my workout with Art Carey.
