Our Fall Teacher Training returns this October, and we’d love for you to be part of it. Thoughtfully designed to support your growth both on and off the mat, this immersive program will help you deepen your practice, build confidence, and learn to teach in a way that feels true to you.

Here From our Teacher Training Graduates

Our training holds a 5-star rating with Yoga Alliance and is widely considered a gold standard—we’ve even help other studios design their own programs. But the most powerful proof? The voices of our graduates. Their honest reflections say it best and gives you a chance to get to know what the training experience feels like from their perspective. Each one started right where you are — curious, excited, maybe a little unsure. Their journeys speak to the depth, support, and transformation you can expect at Flow.

“The perfect mix of depth and practicality. I left able to teach—and with friends for life.”
— Jamie L. ’24

“Flexible when work got hectic, personal when I needed support. Couldn’t ask for more.”
— Sonal P. ’23

“Not just poses: history, ethics, real conversation. It expanded how I move, think, and serve.”
— Daniel S. ’21

WHY THIS TRAINING MAY BE RIGHT FOR YOU

Some people feel a clear call to teach. For others, it’s a quieter pull toward more meaning, more presence, more connection. At Flow, we welcome both. Our training is intentionally designed to meet you where you are …. whether you’re stepping into leadership or simply ready to live with more depth, it’s an opportunity to deepen your practice, expand your perspective, and be part of a supportive community that honors growth on and off the mat.

Here are some of the reasons students join our training and why it may be the right fit for you:

You’ve always loved the idea of a steady, daily yoga practice, knowing it supports you in feeling and being your best—yet you’ve struggled to make it a reality.

In your professional life—whether you lead, teach, or support others—you’ve seen how yoga and mindfulness can enhance team well-being, strengthen communities, and foster resilience. You’re ready to learn how to share these practices in ways that are accessible, adaptable, and impactful.

Yoga has been there for you through some of life’s toughest times, and you’re ready to understand why and how it works—perhaps even to share its power with others.

You’re seeking tools for a more fulfilling life, to help you move past limiting beliefs like “I’m not enough” or “I’ll be happy when…” You’re ready to let go of outdated reactions and step into who you truly are.

Some of your clearest moments—those “aha” insights—have happened right on your mat. You’ve experienced classes where it felt like the teacher was speaking directly to your soul.

You like (maybe even love!) your job—but a part of you lights up at the thought of teaching yoga, bringing more creativity, movement, and meaning into your week. You’re not looking to quit your day job—you’re just ready to add something soulful and energizing to the mix.

You thrive in a vibrant, inspiring group setting—and maybe it’s been a while since you’ve felt that joy. After a challenging season, an immersion in yoga within a supportive community feels like the right next step.

You’ve put off your dream of teacher training, and now the question lingers: If not now, when?

If any of this sounds familiar, reach out. We’d love to connect, answer questions, and give you a real sense of what this training looks and feels like.

Program Overview & What Makes Flow’s Training Different

We’re here to support you every step of the way—during training and long after graduation. Since 2005, Flow’s 200-hour program has been recognized as the gold standard in DC and beyond. You’ll find our graduates teaching everywhere—from Flow’s own studios to spas, gyms, corporations, shelters, prisons, and nonprofit organizations. Many have launched their own trainings, retreats, studios, and online platforms—and they credit this program as a turning point.

A CURRICULUM WITH DEPTH

You’ll explore a rich, thoughtfully sequenced curriculum that we’ve refined for nearly two decades:

• Asana, functional alignment, and intelligent vinyasa sequencing

• Breathwork, meditation, and subtle-body energetics

• Applied anatomy and biomechanics

• Yoga philosophy, history, and ethics—through a modern, inclusive lens

• Trauma-informed and socially conscious teaching practices

• Classroom management, assisting, and public-speaking skills

• Business of yoga, boundaries, and sustainable career paths

Every topic we cover is woven into personal growth work—so what you learn on the mat translates into how you live, lead, and relate.

NOT A COOKIE-CUTTER TRAINING

Many programs rely on set scripts and repetitive sequences, producing teachers who all sound the same. Flow takes a different approach. Our goal is to help you discover—and trust—your own teaching voice. Whether you’re drawn to powerful flow, gentle restorative work, or anything in between, you’ll graduate able to craft classes that truly serve the communities you care about.

LED BY OUR SENIOR TEACHING TEAM

From the first weekend to the last, you’ll learn from Flow’s core faculty—the same experienced teachers who lead our public classes daily. Because we don’t rotate guest presenters in and out, you’ll build real relationships with mentors who know your name, see your practice each week, and care deeply about your progress.

FLEXIBLE & Schedule FRIENDLY

We know schedules can be unpredictable. All weekend sessions are recorded, independent modules can be completed before or after live meetings, and you’ll have three extra months post-training to wrap up coursework. Need to miss a module? Drop into a future cohort at no extra cost—you even have lifetime access to any module for refreshers.

MENTORSHIP THAT CONTINUES

Graduation is only the beginning. You’ll be invited to:

• Assist Flow public classes and lead community sessions

• Join free practice-teach labs for ongoing feedback

• Meet one-on-one with mentors as you refine your craft

• Tap into continuing-education workshops and teaching opportunities

A COMMUNITY YOU CAN COUNT ON

Because our cohorts are intentionally small, you’ll feel part of Flow from day one. Teachers and peers alike will know you, support you, and cheer you on—during the program and as your teaching journey unfolds.

Flow is a Registered Yoga School (RYS) with Yoga Alliance, and upon completion you’ll be eligible to register as an RYT-200. If you’re looking for a program that blends professional rigor with genuine care—and one that helps you grow into the teacher you are meant to be—you’ll feel right at home here.

A note from our Founder & Teacher Training Director

My yoga teaching journey began on a whim. New to DC, I signed up for a class at a local studio. A simple flyer advertising a Yoga Teacher Training caught my eye. Teaching yoga? Never crossed my mind. But something inside whispered "yes."

I'm forever grateful I listened. While I loved my existing marketing career in supporting social justice oriented clients, within months of the training I was leading my own classes from my tiny apartment, and within two years, Flow opened its doors.

For you, this decision might be more carefully considered. Maybe "yoga teacher training" sits on your bucket list, a lingering possibility you've been contemplating. Perhaps you're yearning for a side hustle or want to learn more about the profound impact this practice has. Or maybe you dream of opening your own studio one day!

Whatever your reason, we at Flow want you to know: we've poured our hearts into making this program exceptional.

For two decades, we've guided passionate individuals like you on transformative journeys. Graduates have gone on to open studios, become sought-after teachers, or find deep fulfillment leading smaller groups. Others use their newfound knowledge to enrich their own lives.

No matter your inspiration, we warmly invite you to explore Flow. Read testimonials, join a class, connect with graduates. We believe we've created something truly special – a space for you to blossom as a compassionate and confident yoga teacher, ready to share the gift of this practice with the world.

Have any questions? Don’t hesitate to reach out, I’d love to meet you!

warmly,

Debra Mishalove, Reiki, ERYT, Mindfulness Coach, Yoga Teacher
