• Other Dates or Locations
Available? When there are 3-5
requests for training in any of the CPI Trainer areas (CA, OK, PA or IN), they
can hold a training. If you would like a CPI Trainer to travel to your nearby
state for a training, contact Laurette at praisemoves@gmail.com to check their
availability. CPI Trainers may be available to travel for 5 or more CPI
applicants. The CPI Trainer’s travel expenses will need to be covered by the
CPI applicants. The easiest approach is to attend one of the CPI trainings
listed above.
The best thing to do if you believe the Lord is
calling you to train to be a Certified PraiseMoves Instructor is to send in an
application to the PraiseMoves office and consider attending a
one-day training in one of the 4 available areas (

Are you interested in starting a Fitness Ministry? Does the idea
of becoming one of the first Certified Instructors to offer a healthy,
Christ-centered alternative to yoga interest you? If so, you may
consider applying to become a Certified PraiseMoves Instructor (CPI).
Perhaps you and a friend would be interested in co-teaching
a PraiseMoves class at your church or local gym. While most CPIs teach classes
solo, some prefer to “team teach” with a friend who is also a CPI.
In view of the 15-20 MILLION people in the
We have all ages, shapes and sizes of PraiseMoves instructors –
both women and men, from their early 20s to late 60s – and students from
two-year old toddlers to 97 year-young seniors!
Below is a letter and application for people who would like to
become a CPI (Certified PraiseMoves Instructor). If this interests you, read on
– then pray and ask the Lord if He would have you apply to become a CPI. If you
have questions not answered below, feel free to contact me. – Laurette
Hello
Dear Friends!
Thank
you for your interest in the PraiseMoves Teacher Certification Program!
We
receive requests from throughout North America, Europe, Asia and elsewhere from
people looking for Certified PraiseMoves Instructors and classes they can take.
The release of the PraiseMoves DVDs from Harvest House
Publishers, our television programs and recent magazine articles and interviews
have brought an increased awareness to this Christian alternative to
yoga. (Note: Articles about PraiseMoves have appeared in Today's Christian Woman magazine,
ChristianityToday.com, TIME magazine, Newsweek and Charisma
– see the HOME page for links to
these articles.)
Perhaps
you know of others at your church or in your community who would be interested
in starting a Fitness Ministry or earning a nice part-time income offering
PraiseMoves classes at church, a local gym, community center, school, senior
center or their home. Of course charging for PraiseMoves classes is
optional, but when we consider that millions of people are spending billions of
dollars on yoga
classes, a dedicated PraiseMoves instructor is certainly worthy of his or her
hire.
CNNMoney.com lists Fitness and
Aerobic Instructors – one of the 11 “America’s Hot Jobs” where you have the
edge: “Amidst growing concerns about obesity, fitness instructors help their
clients slim down and shape up by instructing them and physical and exercise
activities like yoga, aerobics and weightlifting.”
The
course consists of:
-
The PraiseMoves Teacher Training DVD [75 minutes of training
with Laurette and Betsy outlining correct breathing techniques, 19 basic
PraiseMoves postures, flowing Scripture Sequences and the 22 PraiseMoves Alphabetics (based on the 22-letter Hebrew alphabet,
following along with Psalm 119)].
-
The PraiseMoves Training Manual (history and benefits of
PraiseMoves; dynamics of stretching; Basic Anatomy; the Muscular System;
Muscles and the PraiseMoves postures; outline of PraiseMoves workout;
low-impact aerobic dance steps; Walkin' Wisdom
Warm-ups; all PraiseMoves postures w/photos – plus all new PraiseMoves postures; Scripture
Sequences; PraiseMoves Alphabetics w/corresponding
scriptures; reviews, and sample exam).
-
How to Start Your Own Fitness Ministry Manual - Everything
you need to start your own PraiseMoves classes from finding students and
workout spaces to finances and ministry.
-
Teacher Certification Weekend - Held at various locations around the
Benefits:
-
Only Certified PraiseMoves Instructors (CPI’s) may use the PraiseMoves® name (a
registered trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office) and teach the
copyrighted PraiseMoves material.
-
Graduates of the training will be able to call themselves Certified PraiseMoves
Instructors (CPI's), use the registered PraiseMoves
trademark in their advertising and charge for group and private classes.
-
CPIs and CPIs-in-Training receive 40% off all PraiseMoves products (videos,
DVDs, books, etc.) which they may sell to their students at retail.
-
From time-to-time we hold specials for more % off and contests for products,
prizes, money and more!
-
CPIs’ classes can be listed on the main PraiseMoves website free-of-charge so
prospective students can find you (as well as on your own PraiseMoves webpage).
-
CPIs will have access to PraiseMoves devotionals and "Fitness for His
Witness" Bible Studies which can be held in conjunction with PraiseMoves
classes.
-
CPIs will be able to offer the trademarked “Fitness for His Witness” seminar to
area churches as a way to introduce them to their PraiseMoves classes. (See the
“Fitness for His Witness” seminar listed on the Keynotes and Seminars link at: www.LauretteWillis.com).
-
CPIs will be on the leading edge of a new wave of Christian fitness, countering
the popular and deceptive practice of yoga and "new age" mysticism.
-
Follow-up support and prayer are always available, as well as new routines,
fellowship and continuing education workshops.
-
Contests, special events, recognition and yearly reunions will be offered.
-
CPIs have their own Forum of communication and support as a Yahoo Group.
-
And perhaps most exciting of all, CPIs will have the opportunity to minister to
the Body of Christ and those who are searching for Him.
-
CPIs will also be able to offer the PowerMoves Kids program and PraiseMoves for
Children program in their communities! (see www.PowerMovesKids.com)
-
As Laurette develops other programs, CPIs will have access to them.
-
CPIs are invited to join the CPI Forum - open only to CPIs – a Forum of
sharing, advice, prayer, support and networking among all participating CPIs.
Files of brochures, cards, Power Points, new PraiseMoves postures, etc. can be
downloaded as files on the Forum, too.
The
Fitness Ministry is a viable,
much-needed ministry at a time when Christians match or exceed the general
population in weight-related illnesses and disease. Also, churches are looking
for new ways to attract people who are searching for Christ. Friendship Evangelism in the form of inviting
an unsaved friend or neighbor to a fun "alternative to yoga" class is
a wonderful way to introduce them to fellowship with believers. They'll hear
the Gospel in a relaxed atmosphere. After the class questions can be
answered, information made available, and prayer offered. I believe many will
be won to the Lord.
Are
there strict standards to become an instructor?
We
are looking for mature, stable Christians who believe the Lord is calling them
to be part of PraiseMoves.
While
it would be helpful to you if you've taught exercise or some other
sort of classes before, it's not necessary. These are skills you can
learn. If you are not at your "ideal" weight yet, that's okay.
We are great believers in "progress, not perfection." If you are
overweight, however, it is important that you are working on getting to a
healthy weight for you. People will be looking up to you as a PraiseMoves
instructor and mentor. You’ll want to have a testimony of how the Lord has
helped you lose weight and become healthier – a testimony of how PraiseMoves
has assisted you in reaching your goals would also be good. So, if you have a
desire to share PraiseMoves with others and believe God is calling you to step
out, c'mon and step up!
You
will need to be CPR-certified. This can be done in your hometown or nearest
large city. Call your local hospital or the American Heart
Association to find out about CPR training in your area (fees run anywhere from
$25-60 for certification). If you already have an up-to-date card, please make
a copy of it and submit it with your application.
Vital: As a CPI or
CPI-in-Training, it is important that you notify us of any changes to address,
email and phone number so we can contact you. News organizations and magazines
often contact us for interviews, and some have visited CPI classes. We need to
be able to contact you if such an opportunity arises. There are also changes
and additions to PraiseMoves postures and programs which would be helpful to
you and your students. Updates are sent out periodically, and are also
available on the CPI Forum group on Yahoo, open to all CPIs.
To
become a Certified PraiseMoves Instructor
Two
options:
1.
Full payment with application (normally $325.00, save $30) $295 for Training
materials and Certification weekend training.
2.
Pay in two installments ($195 with application and $130 balance received no
later than 2 weeks BEFORE Certification weekend training).
3.

We strongly recommend purchasing the original PraiseMoves DVD, 20-Min.
PraiseMoves DVD (w/beg., int. & adv. Workouts) and PraiseMoves Alphabetics (the Hebrew letter postures) if you don’t
already have them. As a CPI-in-Training, you may purchase these DVDs for almost
50% off ($10.20 each instead of $19.95). If you can only get ONE, we’d
recommend getting the original PraiseMoves DVD (with Laurette in the red
shirt on the cover). It follows perfectly the outline for the standard
PraiseMoves class. Just include the extra amt. with a note of what you would
like with your application.
*
Yearly renewal on your Certification anniversary is $125.00 to keep your
credentials and benefits current. The second year, your yearly renewal fee
reduces to only $75 per year.
*
Every two years CPIs are expected to attend at least one Certification Weekend
or PraiseMoves-sponsored workshop to keep up-to-date on the latest PraiseMoves
postures and keep their skills fresh. There will be no additional charge for
attending a standard PraiseMoves Certification Training. Renewal is yearly,
recertification every 2 years.
*
Recertifications are held at various locations
throughout the
The
CPI who charges for classes may earn their enrollment amount back
with the first series of classes they teach. For example: 25 students @ $5 per
class (estimate) for 8 weekly classes = $1,000.00; 10 students @ $8 per
class for 6 weeks = $480.00. Of course, not everyone will earn the same amount.
Some choose to give classes on a donation-only basis; others will have smaller
enrollments while some CPIs may choose to charge more for classes. Some CPIs
who teach PraiseMoves classes at their local church donate or share enrollment
fees with their church for a missionary fund, youth trip or special project.
Some who teach at their local YMCA or fitness center are guaranteed a certain
amount per class no matter how many students attend. To keep finances in
perspective, consider that yoga teachers generally charge $5-20 per class,
depending on the area of the country. Among CPIs, the focus tends to be more on
the rewards of ministry and less on the financial compensation of teaching
classes. This is one of the reasons we recommend you pray to ensure that the
Lord is calling you to become a Certified PraiseMoves Instructor. If you are
considering becoming a CPI because you imagine you can earn a lot of money,
your focus is on the wrong thing.

you would like to apply to become a Certified PraiseMoves Instructor (CPI),

REFUND
POLICY
All Refunds and/or credits will be issued in U.S. Dollars only. Included in the
registration fee is a $50 deposit which is non-refundable for those who ARE
accepted to train. If for some reason one is NOT accepted to train to become a
CPI at this time, ALL monies will be promptly refunded less a $15.00 processing
fee with a letter of explanation.
No refunds
will be issued if cancellation is 14 days or less prior to the training weekend
one has signed up to attend. Instead, a credit for a
PraiseMoves Teacher Certification weekend will be issued and is valid for 12
months.
If
requesting a refund, manuals and training DVD must be returned. If they are unmarked,
we may be able to send them to another CPI-in-Training. If marked, the cost of
the manual(s) and/or DVD will be deducted from the refund. We’re sure YOU
wouldn’t want to receive a marked or previously highlighted Training Manual,
would you?
We ask that you
prayerfully consider whether or not you are being called by the Lord to this
ministry before submitting your application. Do you feel the Lord is calling
you to do this, and are you willing to follow-through on your commitment? “For
which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first, and count
the cost, whether he has sufficient to finish it?” Luke 14:28.
We
take very seriously the calling to become a Certified PraiseMoves Instructor
(CPI). It is more than an exercise certification. It is a calling similar to
that of becoming a pastor or ordained evangelist. Therefore, we consider
prayerfully everyone who applies to become part of the PraiseMoves Fitness
Ministry.
If someone who has
committed to become a CPI and has been accepted by the ministry staff requests
a refund and later decides to reapply, they may not be accepted unless there
were dire extenuating circumstances necessitating their withdrawal from the
program.
This may seem
harsh, but we do take Fitness Ministry very seriously, are accountable to other
ministerial organizations for our actions, and strive to uphold the integrity
of the ministry for all CPIs and the persons to whom they minister.
Refunds will be
sent 2-4 weeks from the time we receive any returned training materials.
Policies are subject to change without notice.
ATTENDANCE:
Full attendance at the Teacher Certification weekend is required to receive
credit and certification. For example, if the training times are 9:00 a.m. to
6:00 p.m., one is expected to be at the training from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. If
a CPI-in-training arrives late or leaves early, they may have to take the
training again at a later time. Since the training “Blitz” is presented in a
compact format over a short amount of time, all parts of the training are
important (and what is “caught” is often of equal or greater value than what is
“taught”). Please consider this when making your travel arrangements.
Since this
is a rigorous one-day training, it is important that
you arrive the day before the training in order to be well-rested for
the full-day event.
For fun
and fellowship, we like to have dinner together after the training at a local
restaurant to get to know one another a little better. While we would LOVE to have
you join us for this, it is not mandatory if your travel requirements
necessitate your leaving directly after the training. Lasting friendships often
begin during trainings, and it’s great to network with other like-minded
members of the Body of Christ. We hope you can join us!

Becoming
a Certified PraiseMoves Instructor (CPI) means we will consider you part of the
PraiseMoves
Ministry family. As such, it is important that we
know something about you and that you agree with the
Statement
of Faith as outlined below.
We
believe the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God to
man, the infallible authoritative rule of faith and moral conduct.
We
believe there is one God, existing eternally; and revealed in the Scriptures as
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We
believe the Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Scriptures
declare: His virgin Birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His shed blood and substitutionary death on the cross for us, His bodily
resurrection from the dead, His being on the right hand of God the Father and
His soon-coming return in power and glory.
We
believe in the lost condition of man to sin, and man's need for a Savior, and
that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for eternal life in Christ.
We
believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the
Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
We
believe in the resurrection from the dead of the saved and the lost; that the
Bible declares there is a real heaven to be gained as well as a literal hell
from which we can choose to be saved (“If you confess with your mouth the Lord
Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will
be saved” Romans 10:9).
We
believe in the Body of Christ – in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord
Jesus Christ.
I
have read and understand the Statement of Faith and agree with it
without mental reservation.

PraiseMoves is more than fitness instruction. It is a ministry and a calling.
If
you are a yoga Instructor, would you be willing to give up teaching yoga to
teach PraiseMoves? We feel very strongly
about the wrong message conveyed
to young believers by the one who
would teach both (please see:
www.PraiseMoves.com/ChristianAlternative.htm).
You may teach one or the
other, but not both. Would you be willing
to teach PraiseMoves and not yoga?
(Please
mark one, even if you do not teach yoga or have never taken a yoga class.
Do
NOT put “N/A” or leave this blank. We really would like to know if you are
willing
to teach PraiseMoves and not yoga even
if you’ve never taught yoga or taken a yoga
class before.)
_____Yes,
I am willing to teach PraiseMoves and NOT yoga.
_____No,
I am not willing to give up teaching yoga.
_____
No, I may want to teach both yoga and PraiseMoves later.

Do you currently hold
ministerial credentials? _____ If yes, with which
church or ministry fellowship or
organization? _________________________

Since PraiseMoves is
described as “The Christian Alternative to yoga,”
we are interested in the faith of
those who would like to represent us as instructors.
Please describe your faith and the
basis of your beliefs. For example, if you
say “Christian,” is your faith founded
on a Bible-based salvation experience when
you accepted Jesus Christ as your
Savior and Lord; or based on your
membership to a particular church, your
upbringing, feelings, or some other reason?
