Her determination paid off. She was able to find a distance learning course that met all of her criteria. In fact, it offered more than she'd been seeking. The home study course that she settled on covered business training, something that most others she'd looked into did not. Not only would Alyssa become a certified yoga instructor, she would have the ability to run her own yoga business.

One year later, Alyssa had quit her old job and was teaching yoga at a local fitness center. She was working closer to home and able to spend more time with her daughter.

Grateful that she had been choosy when searching for a home study course, she knew she had made the right decision in becoming a certified yoga instructor.
