About True Flow Yoga Teacher Training

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 (4-8 students), 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.

Testimonials from past Teacher Trainees

"Brynn's combination of positivity, a disciplined and advanced practice, and intelligence make her not only an inspiring yogi but also an excellent teacher.  She is not only passionate about yoga, her students and their practice, but is also able to convey the information required in an organized format that is interesting and enjoyable to learn.  I benefit in both my personal practice and knowledge of yoga through Brynn, and continue to learn from her and her outlook on life." ~ Suzanne Kiyomura, Fall 2009 Graduate, currently teaching yoga at Rough Fit & The Sanctuary

“I wanted to take a teacher training for a long time, but for some reason I didn't actually decide to go forward with it. One day I found Brynn's website and I took one of her classes, and right there I decided I was ready for it and signed up for the training! They say that when the student is ready the teacher shows up and I couldn't have a better teacher than Brynn! I feel so blessed to have her as my teacher. I not only learned so much from her during the training but I am still learning from her every time I take one of her classes. True Flow yoga teacher training not only improved my Yoga practice, but has opened a door that shows nothing but a path full of light!”~ Monica Espinosa, Fall 2009 Graduate, currently teaching at The Sanctuary

“Brynn Rybacek’s True Flow Yoga teacher training was an amazing experience, partially due to the fact that the training was so intimate. I thought it was a much more dynamic learning environment because she takes only a few students at a time. I couldn't have asked for more and I learned exactly what I knew I needed... she delivers! Anyone looking to not only learn about yoga but also those who want to teach should go for it....it will really change you! ~ Damon Roberson RYT, Spring 2010 Graduate, currently teaches Yoga for Cyclists

"I have completed yoga teacher certification (RYT-200 hour) through Brynn's teacher training program. She gave me the opportunity to teach and share my yoga experiences with others. Her program is well organized, and she makes sure to create a non-intimidating environment. With a friendly and intimate group of six, I was able to learn so much in her training program. She made me understand how a class is viewed from an instructor's point of view, as well as from a student's point of view." ~ Misa, Fall 2009 Graduate, currently teaching yoga classes in both English and Japanese at The Sanctuary

"Four years ago, my doctor recommended that I begin yoga for my long time neck and shoulder pain. Yoga dramatically healed my pain. This gave me a desire for a deeper understanding of yoga. I didn't know the exact details of each pose until I took Brynn's teacher training course. I have never met a yoga instructor as good as Brynn. Brynn is always willing to share and give away everything she knows. Through the teacher training I gained confidence to lead others in yoga. I am currently leading a free yoga class at my church once a week. I highly recommend Brynn's course to anyone who wants to become a yoga instructor and/or simply have a deeper understanding of their practice." ~ Song Choi, Summer 2009 Graduate ,currently teaching yoga at East Sarang Community Church in Chino, CA serving Korean Americans

"Brynn is awesome! The teacher training was great, brought me many benefits and exceeded all my expectations!" ~ Lena Paolozzi, Spring 2010 Graduate
