Create a YouTube account/channel to upload the required videos privately. Your trainer will watch them there and give you feedback. There is a tutorial in Thinkific on how to set it up. You will upload a total of three videos of 30 minutes each for Module 1. The last of these 30-minute videos will be reviewed as your final ‘exam’.
Join 16 hours of live sessions in real-time. We highly suggest that you attend the live training with the camera on so that we can support you and teach you in the best way possible.
You will access your personal CrossYoga journal, a “google doc” that you will share with your teacher. This is where you will write your assignments from Thinkific.
Attend CrossYoga pre-recorded YouTube videos, for eight hours, from “CrossYoga with Rie” or “Movement by Charlotte”. This is your home practice and a way to learn CrossYoga.
Read the book of John in the Bible :-) You’ll be using it to create themes you can use in your class.
"The CrossYoga Training has a lot to offer in terms of connecting movement and time for reflection. Both the text and the video material are detailed and useful and the teachers are very competent. I can highly recommend the Training"

Do you have questions? Take a look at our instructor FAQ
“I want to share that I am deeply grateful for the training. It all came together for me because it was so versatile, with so much relevance. At the same time, it was very special to experience my personal connection with God. My heart has met God in a way I do not remember having experienced for many years.”
How Christian/Spiritual is This Training?
CrossYoga Academy takes great pride in offering a high-quality training founded in both an academical and Christian mindset. We respect the roots of yoga and acknowledge that yoga has changed a lot since its early start.
With the academical mindset, we make sure to use references and recognized scientific research when it comes to the body, yoga philosophy, and yoga history. We also stay humble and acknowledge that we are not all-knowing.
As for the faith part: you don’t have to be Christian to join this training! As with most Yoga Teacher Trainings you are represented with spirituality so you learn about Christianity and e.g. how to theme a faith-based class. We do not take faith for granted though and we avoid words and phrases that are hard to grasp, as we want to respect that we are all on different paths of spirituality in our lives.

Oda Alexandra Michelsen (Teaching anatomy in Thinkific)
500RYT. Certified personal trainer and rehab trainer. Trauma Sensitive Yoga instructor.
With a background in dance - exercise, and movement have always been an important part of Oda’s life, but in 2013 her life was turned upside-down after a serious and lasting injury. This meant she had to slow down and find a form of movement that would work with her injury - and this led her to the practice of yoga.
For Oda, it is essential to emphasize that movement is for everyone - regardless of age, injuries or challenges.
Oda currently resides in Norway where she teaches group classes, private classes and workshops.
