Teacher Training at Flow

"I have just finished the 2007-2008 Teacher Training at Flow and loved it.  It was a challenge but the best learning experiences are,
and I feel it has deepened and enriched my individual practice as well as making me feel connected to the beautiful community at Flow.

The quality of instruction was exceptional, both from visiting teachers such as Simon Park and Alison West, but our own Flow teachers

who not only came in and taught their segment but who have mentored us as well.  Even teachers who were not part of the teaching

staff this year would look in on practice sessions and give tips, and / or offer to let us assist in their classes.  We are well grounded in both

the practical aspects of teaching asana, and the philosophical – the history, the sutras, and, most important, the role of yoga as service to
the community.  And it is not just taught by precept, it is shown by example to us by our own teachers, who are actively involved in the
community, and provide opportunity for us to join them as well.  The most dramatic example of this is Anahata International which Angela
and Radhika have founded, to benefit those whose lives have been torn apart by war.  And Flow is connected with the larger yoga family,
such as the Jivamukti school in New York , which has made me feel like really and truly part of a community of people whom I love and
trust and respect.  Flow Teacher Training does not just seek to prepare us to teach asana (although it does that very well), it seeks to
prepare us to live as yogis in the world."I loved teacher training. I learned so much and met such magnificent women. I felt like it was such a
great way to spend my extra time."

"I thought that the way you organized the teacher training was awesome. The TT guide was incredibly clear and the readings that you chose
were really applicable to what we were learning. I thought that the amount of space that you put between our meeting times was appropriate too."

"I was not prepared for how much each session would change me, in ways that will affect me forever. I have been given several great gifts: the gift
of time with a wonderful group of people, the gift of wisdom from amazing teachers, the gift of awareness of my physical self, the gift of introduction
to my spiritual self, and the gift of opportunity to share the sacred practice of yoga with many others in the future. Thank you, Debra!"

"I can't thank you enough for the experience.  I feel ready to teach.  The weekend immersions, guest teachers and practice times were highlights

as well as our group discussions and philosophy.  My life has changed for the better and I am grateful for the time and community at Flow."
