Deepen your practice. Share your voice.

Yoga Teacher Training

Welcome! If you’re here, you already know yoga is more than movement. You’ve felt it—the calm of savasana, the breath that steadies you and connects you to something bigger, the quiet reminder of what truly matters.

Flow’s 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training is where you explore that fully: the art and science of yoga and the parts that can’t be put into words. It’s about building confidence in who you are and why you’re here, finding your authentic voice, and joining a community that stays with you long after graduation.

Whether you dream of leading inspiring classes or simply want to deepen the practice you love, this program was designed for you.

Take a moment to explore this page and see what makes this training special. If something sparks a question, reach out - we’d love to hear from you. Spots fill quickly … don’t wait too long to connect.

Warmly,
Debra Mishalove
Director of Teacher Training

What You’ll Learn

Our training is rooted in vinyasa, but everything you learn can be applied to the classes you dream of leading—whether that’s powerful flows, gentle restorative practices, or something uniquely your own.

You’ll graduate with:
✔ The knowledge to teach yoga with confidence
✔ Skills in anatomy and alignment for every body
✔ Yoga philosophy and mindfulness practices for daily life
✔ Support to find your authentic voice and presence
✔ A community that feels like home
✔ A globally recognized Yoga Alliance RYT-200 credential

Along the way, you’ll explore:

• Functional alignment and intelligent sequencing

• Breathwork, meditation, and restorative practices for resilience

• Applied anatomy, biomechanics, and subtle body energetics

• Yoga history, philosophy, and ethics through an inclusive, modern lens

• Trauma-informed and socially conscious teaching principles

• Classroom management, assisting, and public-speaking skills

• Specialty modules for beginners, prenatal, and yin

• The business of yoga and creating a sustainable career path

Every topic is woven into personal growth work—so what you learn on the mat becomes a way of living and leading.

Mentorship & Community Beyond Graduation

We’re here to support you every step of the way—during training and long after graduation. 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. When you take our teacher training you’ll find your growth doesn’t stop at the certificate. After graduation, you’ll be invited to:
✔ Assist Flow public classes and lead community sessions
✔ Join free practice-teach labs for ongoing feedback
✔ Access continuing education and module refreshers

Is This Training 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 cheers on your growth on and off the mat.

Here are some of the most common reasons students join—and why it might be the perfect fit for you:

✔ You’ve always loved the idea of a steady, daily yoga practice, knowing it helps you feel and live your best—yet making it happen has been a struggle.

✔ In your professional life—whether you lead, teach, or support others—you’ve seen how yoga and mindfulness can strengthen teams, build resilience, and foster community. You’re ready to share these tools in a way that’s accessible and impactful.

✔ Yoga has carried you through some of life’s toughest times. Now, you want to understand why and how it works—and maybe even share its power with others.

✔ You’re seeking tools for a more fulfilling life, to move beyond limiting beliefs like “I’m not enough” or “I’ll be happy when…” You’re ready to step into who you truly are.

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

✔ You love your work—but the thought of teaching yoga lights you up. You’re not planning to quit your day job; you just want to bring more creativity, movement, and meaning into your week.

✔ You thrive in vibrant, inspiring group settings—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 long enough, and now you’re wondering: If not now, when?

If any of this sounds like you, we’d love to connect. Reach out with your questions and get a real sense of what this training looks and feels like.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I miss a session?
All sessions are recorded, and you’ll have 3 months after the final weekend to catch up. You can also make up missed content by joining future training weekends at no extra cost.

Do I need to want to teach?
Not at all. Many participants join simply to deepen their practice. You can also start with our Yoga Studies Track (fewer hours and no teaching practicums, offered at 30% off) and decide later if you’d like to complete certification.

Is this training physically demanding?
Not in a “boot camp” way. We offer a mix of strong, gentle, and restorative practices—and you’ll learn how to adapt for your body and others’.

What if my schedule changes during training?
We’ve built in flexibility. You can pause and resume with a future cohort or make up missed sessions along the way. You always have options.

Is this Yoga Alliance approved?
Yes. Flow is a Registered Yoga School (RYS), and graduates are eligible to register as an RYT-200 with Yoga Alliance.

I’m nervous about teaching in front of a room—even though I want to. Any tips?
You’re not alone! We start small, build your confidence step by step, and create a supportive environment for practice teaching. By graduation, you’ll feel ready—and excited—to lead.

How much homework is there outside of training hours?
In addition to in-person sessions, expect 1–3 hours per week of reading or study modules. You’ll also complete 30 yoga classes (at Flow or virtually) during the program. Our curriculum exceeds Yoga Alliance requirements because we’ve added extra modules we believe truly prepare you.

Is there parking?
Yes! Nearby parking garages and street parking are available (we recommend the ParkMobile app). We’re also metro-accessible via the Red and Green Lines, and many trainees carpool.

Do we get breaks during the weekends?
Yes! Each session includes a break. We provide tea and treats, and recommend bringing snacks and drinks so you can refuel.

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,
