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 22 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.

 

Along with all the usual requirements leading to competence in teaching yoga, our focus now is on coaching and self-development. We are all in rapidly changing and increasingly stressful times. We need more than competent yoga teachers; we need healthy mentors who can inspire and support others during these times.

Current Updates: We are just now finishing our 2024 Training and students are in the middle of their teaching practicum. 

​

Here are the details so far for the 2025 Joyflow Training:

​

5 Intensive Weekends: Friday evening - Sunday afternoon, consisting of 20 contact hours each. Retreat-concentration style. As in, plan for an emmersive, no other activities. 5 X 20 hours = 100 hours.  Weekend dates have yet to be set, but likely near the first weekend of January, February, March, April, and May.

​

Zoom Meets from January until end of May, 2.5 hours each week, likely Thursday nights at 5:30-6:45 Class, then 7:00-8:00, in which we will cover all the discussion and lecture topics, leaving the weekends to be primarily experiential.  5 months X 4 X 2.5 = 50 hours.

 

​Individual Coaching / Practicum hours = 20. Can consist of in-class hours or private therapy hours, either in person or via zoom. Will be focused on either self-growth or teaching methodology, depending on your goals. The remainder of hours = 30, are counted from reading, study, and homework.

​

It might be one of these, or may be a blend; I welcome your feedback. Your food and lodgings will be extra, but economical alternatives will be provided.​
