Our Mission

To train, equip, resource and empower the body of Christ to fulfill their unique God given purpose; and to live successful christian lives through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Our Vision

To create a global community of YogaFaith ambassadors and instructors who will fulfill the great commission of making disciples throughout the earth.

Our Promise

To provide a world class training experience for our students and to foster a culture of excellence in everything we do, so that our internal and external customers feel loved, supported, and encouraged to fulfill their unique God given purpose and calling.

Our Story YogaFaith was birthed out of a 21 day Daniel Fast in 2013.

I was fasting for a job, but God gave me a purpose instead.

Ministry can be challenging, but it’s the most rewarding journey I have been a part of. When you surrender your whole life to the Lord, giving Him ALL the broken pieces, He will put them together and use your greatest mess as your most incredible message.

It has been my greatest honor and privilege to witness so many lives being transformed for the glory of God! I am humbled to my core that He has blessed so many with the gift of YogaFaith – we get to preach His Word while sharing the gift of WHOLE WORSHIP!

Michelle Thielen | YogaFaith Founder

Our Hearts Desire It is our desire to intimately connect people to Christ; mind, body, spirit and soul. We do this by providing a safe and nurturing environment for our students to grow not only in their yoga practice but spiritually and emotionally as well. Leadership and Discipleship are hallmarks woven into the fabric of every YogaFaith Training.
I pray that God, who gives peace, will make you completely holy. And may your spirit, soul, and body be kept healthy and faultless…..Thess. 5:23
My body is my temple and asanas are my prayers. Sri. B.K.S. Iyengar

    The self passed online curriculum is good. It recently was edited added too. The in-person immersion had some disconnect from the written content but all in all it is a good program. Like every program they improve every teaching. I am thankful for the thought put into the 300hr/therapy training.

    I have so much love for YogaFaith, Michelle Thielen, and all the Master yogis who trained with me. I gained valuable knowledge & skills through self-study, online gatherings, and immersion, where I loved Laura Burkhart’s 2.0 cues and updated asana alignment. It was such a blessing to advance my expertise through the lens of my faith.

    I found this training to be thorough and true to it’s core beliefs. It was taught with integrity, compassion, and kindness. I appreciated the focus on anatomy and alignment, principles of yoga philosophy, and physical conditions, recovery, and trauma. This training has helped me mature and grow personally and professionally. It helped me to understand how to help people in more depth as they practice yoga.

    I would highly recommend YogaFaith's teacher training. I feel like it was exactly what I had been praying for. I trained with another organization, but still felt incomplete. Finding YogaFaith was an answer to prayer.

    Spiritually enlightening and up lifting. Teachers were knowledgeable and thorough at teaching their sessions. I felt very prepared and appreciated all the hard work put into the lessons. Namaste.
