Become a Mind - Body Fitness Leader

The Mind - Body Leadership (MBL) certification empowers you to lead group fitness classes that blend fitness-level yoga, breathwork, stretching, meditation, and visualization. These aren’t just workouts—they’re immersive experiences that help participants feel grounded, relaxed, and in tune with themselves.
What you’ll learn:
- The science of stress and how it affects the body
- How to apply mind-body techniques like fitness level yoga, breathwork, stretching, meditation, and visualization to reduce stress and promote wellness
- How to use props like blocks, bolsters, and bands to support movement
- Lesson planning, cueing, safety, and music integration
What you’ll teach:
- Non-competitive, calming group fitness classes
- Fusion formats that combine strength, cardio, and mindfulness
Includes ready-to-use lesson plans and scripts to help you get started.
Already certified as a GEL, WT, ICE Leader, or PT? Add mind-body elements to your classes and create unique fusion workouts your clients will love.
This certification (and the related insurance) excludes any version of hot yoga or any inversion asanas.
All participants must also complete Exercise Theory and have a current 1st Aid & CPR certification before the MBL certificate will be issued.
