- You will then be required to assist a Yoga Flow teacher for 2 classes a month. You have the option if sitting in the back of the room taking notes on the teachers cues or walking around and adjusting the students (or a little of both). Each class you assist will be counted as 2 hours.
-
Totaling 20 hours *These hours can be completed at the Yoga Flow studio or studios most convenient to you.
- Each 'teacher in training' is required to take 40 Yoga Flow classes within the 5 months. This equals roughly 2 classes per week during the 5 month training. You may take as many or as little classes a week to compliment your work schedule. It is required, however, that you have all 40 classes completed before you can receive your certificate. We have noticed that the trainees with the most success practiced twice a week or more. And we suggest the more, the better. All 40 classes over the 5 months course are included in the cost of tuition. Each of the 40 classes will be counted as 2 hours.

What is teacher training like??
“I took my yoga teacher training at Yoga Flow and did not realize how much they taught until I started going to other studios to practice and teach. Yoga Flow really prepared me and I honestly feel like they set me up for success, I’m so grateful to have learned from Dominique and Michelle. They are so detail oriented but also keep the training FUN! Thank you so much for being a guiding light for my journey and my life, I LOVE Yoga Flow and all it’s Yogis.
