• YOGAUX is evidence-based professional development for the yoga industry. It teaches the skill of instruction itself, not just yoga content. The methodology integrates learning science, hospitality psychology, and experience design to help teachers create intentional environments for student transformation, not just lead pose-demonstration from the mat.

  • Great teachers know intuition has limits. I'm already a confident teacher—will this still help me? YOGAUX gives you words for your strengths, tools to spot gaps, frameworks to train others, and methods to cultivate situational awareness and build authentic relationships with students— all while you teach. YOGAUX is for any yoga teacher looking to become a leader!

  • YOGAUX is methodology, not modality. Whether you teach vinyasa, yin, hot, restorative, or anything else, the principles of student-centered instruction, room presence, and experience design apply. It’s not about what you teach—it's about how you deliver it.

  • The emerging global wellness economy is a response to an over‑digitized, isolated culture. Consumer behavior is shifting from acquisition toward experience, and the next era of yoga will be defined by how evidence‑based instruction is delivered to drive emotional engagement.

    Many yoga teachers arrive from training with deep subject knowledge but little systematic preparation for teaching diverse, mixed‑level rooms. Traditional teacher trainings emphasize poses and philosophy; they rarely develop repeatable, measurable teaching skills that let an instructor have immediate confidence while preserving their authentic style.

    YOGAUX fills the industry gap. For teachers who lack confidence, who want to stop pre-planning classes and want to teach off their mat, instead of relying on “years of experience”.

  • Retention isn’t about the poses — it’s about the experience of receiving them. YOGAUX teaches teachers to design micro‑interactions, environment curation, and purposeful connection points by understanding how they all converge to drive engagement and memory. When students feel genuinely effort, they come back.

  • YOGAUX was created by Brittney Coates, a professional development specialist for yoga teachers with an MS in Psychology, RYT-200 certification, and 15+ years of experience in yoga, fitness and wellness leadership. Her background spans boutique fitness operations, enterprise implementation, and evidence-based instruction design.

  • No. YOGAUX is professional development for teachers who are already certified (or getting certified). It addresses several an industry gaps between certification and teaching competence. While 200-hour trainings teach yoga knowledge, YOGAUX teaches the skill of instruction itself.

  • The SERVES framework is YOGAUX's core competency model. It stands for Student-centered, Engagement, Responsive, Vocals, Experience, and Systems. These six areas define what separates professional instruction from well-intentioned guessing.
