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.
The next Yoga Alliance Registered 200 Hour Teacher Training will be at the new studio in Brandon, MS!
We are postponing the next training until September 2026 and it will be comprised of 8 weekends of Saturday and Sunday.
