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.
The YogaFlow Teacher Training program is a registered 200 hour course with Yoga Alliance. It is completed in three levels over the course of 6 months. Registration with Yoga Alliance is available upon completion.
