YogaFlow 200 Hour Teacher Training with Gail Robertiello
Gail- the founder of YogaFlow - has been conducting these exciting and successful certification programs for a number of years. We are happy to welcome YogaFlow in our studio!
YogaFlow is an eclectic style of Vinyasa Hatha Yoga that incorporates the synchronization of movement and breath control. Yoga postures are sequenced together interconnecting body, mind and breath. This makes for a free flowing and creative class format with particular attention to postural alignment and body awareness. All levels can benefit from this style of yoga by increasing strength, endurance, flexibility, and control over the senses creating the perfect environment for the reduction of stress and self reflection.
This program is centered on deepening your practice, designing your class, applying teaching skills, practice teaching each training weekend, modifications, teacher ethics, articulating to your class participants in both English and Sanskrit terminology, and intro to Yoga Therapy. Upon completion of this course the student will graduate with a deeper knowledge and a more comprehensive understanding of yoga not only as a physical exercise program but as a spiritual practice. As we learn from this mystical, practical philosophy, our personal journey deepens and allows us to incorporate these teachings into our daily life. East meets west and by honoring the integrity of this 5000 year old tradition we learn to incorporate its ancient teachings into modern living integrating body, mind and spirit.
This course runs from January through June each year. Within the 6 months we meet 10 weekends which includes a mandatory two night retreat at Ananda Ashram in Monroe NY for a discounted fee. Each training weekend begins on Saturday 11am - 7:30pm and concludes on Sundays from 10am - 7:00 pm. There are also 4 Friday evenings from 6pm - 10pm.
