About True Flow Yoga teacher training

Registered Yoga SchoolTrue 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.

Teaching philosophy & approach

"True teachers use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own.” ~ Nikos Kazantzakis

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.

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.

Delve deeper into your practice

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.

Tuition

Tuition is $2400 including books. A $400 deposit is needed to hold your space. Flexible payment plans are available. $400 bi-monthly payments, $800 monthly payments, or payment in full are all acceptable. Contact me for more information.
