Joyflow Yoga Teacher Training Certification
AND Joyflow Coaching Mentorship
Joyflow Yoga 200 Hour Teacher Training has been accredited by the Yoga Alliance since 2001, certifying over 24 classes of teachers. It has been my great joy to have offered my 35+ year experience in a variety of styles and traditions, in mentoring yogis and aspiring teachers. My teaching style is playful, nurturing and generous. I strive to cultivate confidence and self-awareness in all those I mentor.

All hours will be recorded on Zoom and sent to participants. If you are non-local and want to take this training, I will include you in our zoom. If you have to miss any hours, we can make it up with some homework and private zoom followup.
Practicum for Locals: Half price for regular classes, either $10 per or $45 for 6 classes. Earn classes by subbing to gain experience. As you are ready, you will be invited to teach parts of classes and help me with support and adjustments.
Practicum for Non-Locals: 1-2 hours each month of on-line coaching with me; includes answering questions, watching you teach, personal coaching, supporting your practice, etc...
Who is this for? Participants in this training are usually in 2 catagories:
1. You are a practicing yogi and want to go deeper, gaining skills to teach either in a studio, or to bring yoga into your current profession.
2. You don't know if you want to teach or not, but you do want to go deeper into the full tradition of yoga, to develop your own personal practice and expand your abilities. Some prior yoga experience is required.
