Add mind fitness to your yoga class.
By adding mind fitness to your class, before or after the postures, your students work on body and mind together, and take what they learn beyond the mat into the rest of their day.
The true essence
From Yoga to Yoag.
The correct pronunciation is Yoag (as in boat, road), not Yog-aa. The essence of Yoag is your union with yourself, not movement, flexibility or perfect posture. The postures are a step towards the destination: a deeply aware and peaceful mind. Bring Yoag into your studio.

Is this for you?
Add mind fitness to your class if…
- You believe your students face mental stress in their life
- You feel called to help others move from stress to peace
- You believe physical fitness is incomplete without mind fitness
- You want a systematic method to help people find clarity and peace of mind on an ongoing basis
- You want to deepen your relationship with your students by helping them keep a calm and peaceful mind through the year
Simple integration
How will it work?
Conduct your yoga class
Run your class as usual.
End with Savasana
If possible, end with Savasana and let your students stay for five minutes.
Introduce the mind work
Remind them that yoga is a journey to a deeply aware, calm and peaceful mind; now that you have worked on the body, you will work on the mind.
Start the Contemplate session
Help them become mentally peaceful and find answers to critical life questions. You learn how to run this session in your certification training.
Offer a Contemplate programme
You can also run a separate weekly online Contemplate programme for your students, on areas such as relationships, parenting or work.
Your role
Become a catalyst of peace.
Overthinking. Indecision. Work-life balance. Negative thoughts. Most of your students face one or more of these.
As a Certified Contemplate Mind Fitness Coach you give them something to take home (and to the office) after class. You help them find the right answers on their own, without giving the answers yourself, so they become independent, confident, clear and peaceful.

Questions
Common questions.
How does Yoga relate to Contemplation?
The true essence of Yoga (or Yoag) is union with oneself for mental peace, not just flexibility. Bringing Contemplate into your yoga studio helps students achieve the total package of physical and mental clarity.
Can I add mind fitness to my existing yoga classes?
Yes. Many yoga teachers layer Contemplate principles and short contemplation practices into their classes to give students mental clarity alongside physical practice. The Coach Certification trains you to do this well.
