True Flow Yoga teacher training was created to fill the need for a return to the ancient tradition of transmitting physical, mental, and spiritual yogic knowledge from teacher to student in an intimate setting. Yoga training, like so many other things in our society today, has become a corporate enterprise, a big and popular money-making business. This often means that authenticity and individualized attention are traded for more students and more profit. Because True Flow accepts only a few students at one time, each student is viewed and guided on a personal, one-on-one basis.
True Flow was founded under the assumption that there is more than one right answer. Therefore, various styles of yoga including but not limited to Vinyasa Flow, Iyengar, Anusara, Ashtanga, Viniyoga, and Yin will be discussed and practiced. Students will be encouraged to see Truth in all its forms and to practice and teach in the way that most genuinely moves them. As a yoga instructor, I recognize that I am not here so much to tell students how to live, practice, or teach but rather to inspire them and to draw forth the inherent gifts that they already possess. In this non-dogmatic training, a broad overview of yoga’s many layers will be revealed. Students will be encouraged to pick and choose only that which rings true from this tremendous wealth of knowledge. Finally, they will use this wisdom to make their yoga practice and teaching their own.
Although this training is ideal for someone who wishes to teach yoga, it is not solely for that purpose. Many people who have been practicing yoga for a while begin to see the countless benefits of their yoga and desire to delve deeper. They realize that there is a limit to how much they can learn from a led group yoga class. Reading about yoga and talking to others about it is a great start, but it is no replacement for the traditional individual teacher-student relationship. There is no college course or community class where you will learn all that you learn in a yoga teacher training program. It will change your life and the way that you view your place in it.
True Flow Yoga meets the requirements to certify its graduates as Registered Yoga Teachers at the 200 hour level (RYT-200) through National Yoga Alliance, the only nationally recognized board of yoga training standards. In this training, students will learn:
- Technique
- Sanskrit and English names, benefits, contraindications, and proper alignment for over 100 yoga asanas (poses)
- Pranayama (breath exercises)
- Vinyasas (sequences of breath and movement)
- Kriyas (cleansing techniques)
- Mantra/chanting
- Meditation
- Teaching Methodology
- Principles of demonstration, observation, instruction, and assisting/correcting
- Anatomy/Physiology
- Western anatomy and physiology as it relates to yoga
- Eastern energy anatomy and physiology (chakra/nadi system)
- Philosophy, Ethics, and Lifestyle
- History of yoga
- Ethics for a yoga teacher
- Yoga Sutras

- Music
- Sequencing
- Setting themes and intentions
- Business of Yoga
- Resumes and applying for a job
- Promoting yourself (website, business cards, flyers)
- Practicum
- Designing and teaching your own classes
- Observing other classes and giving feedback
True Flow Yoga’s hope and goal is that every graduating yogi leaves the program with a profound knowledge of and reverence for yogic history and philosophy and, even more importantly, a deep awareness and gratitude for their own individual, Divine beauty.
