Melanie's yoga journey spans nearly 25 years. After a decade or so of a more intense, hot yoga practice, she began to crave a deeper connection to the inner engineering of the yoga wisdom way. Inspired by a teacher who expertly wove yoga philosophy and the Yoga Sutras into every class, Melanie felt called to become a teacher herself. She wanted to learn to share not only the physical practice, but also the profound wisdom of yoga and its applications in our daily choices and our modern world.

Now Melanie continues this tradition of training teachers to carry the full path forward in her Wisdom Flow Yoga Teacher Trainings in Vermont. This training is for both aspiring teachers and students wishing to deepen their path.

Our 200-hour certification is offered as a 16-day immersion that starts on a Saturday morning and ends on a Sunday evening. The immersion is designed to prepare teachers to lead with compassion and clarity. It is also designed to deepen a student's understanding of the transformative power of the eight limb yoga system. This training will include learning how the body works, its optimal architecture and the core principles that keep us aligned with the body's divine design. The Wisdom Flow view is that we are not practicing outer forms called asana, rather we are deepening awareness and alignment through the asana.

The style of asana is an alignment-rich dynamic Vinyasa focused on core support, bandha activation and deep diaphragmatic breath. The way you practice will be enhanced and your teaching skills will grow from your understanding of alignment and breath as the true medicine of the practice. You will have plenty of time to build the voicing skills of teaching with personal feedback from teachers and peers. As part of the training, you will craft your own 60-minute class sequence. You will teach this class as your final project. It is our hope that you leave the training feeling well prepared and excited to teach.

Your fees cover the training materials and course work and breakfast, drinks and snacks at the studio everyday. Lunch, dinner and accommodations are arranged individually. Since people come from all over the world, and have varied preferences for accommodations and diet, we just offer the education, experience, and the morning meal. The rest is crafted by you.

The Lake house we reserve for traveling students sleeps up to four. If the rooms fill up, we ask traveling students to book your own accommodations by searching local Inns in downtown Brandon, VRBO and Airbnb for rooms near Brandon, Vermont.

Wisdom Flow Yoga is a based on the sacred geometry of the body and the natural laws of the universe. As per Patanjali's sutras we seek the natural empowerment that rises when we prepare body and mind to be the creative tools they were designed to be.

We accept no more than 12 students per training. We believe the cohesion and intimacy of the group plays a huge part in the power of the training. We also want to assure that each student gets personal attention. Apply early to assure your spot.

Wisdom Flow Yoga was founded in 2007 by Jennifer Lynn. With an engineering background, Jennifer appreciated the inner engineering outlined in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. The Wisdom Flow style blends precise physical and mental alignment with free and joyful flow of spirit through the asanas. Structure must align with the divine laws of nature in order to be strong and sustainable, yet too much dogma can pinch off the organic flow of joyful growth. Wisdom Flow Yoga embodies a balance of precise alignments and core-centered movement with a playful dynamic flow that keeps the pathways clean, clear and strong, and the song of the heart coming through. Our classes and trainings offer a set of elegant alignment principles based on the sacred geometry of the human body. We learn to balance these principles in all poses. We learn to ride the flow of breath as the vehicle of awareness to keep us revealing and sharing deeper layers of our true nature. Wisdom Flow Yoga embraces all expressions of love that rise from inclusion, compassion and unity.

"If your goal is to become a yoga teacher who leads with confidence, clarity, and heart, Wisdom Flow Yoga is the training for you. The program has you practicing teaching and voicing from day one to build courage and skill. Jennifer Lynn provides the framework and ongoing support to help you understand the nuances of yoga philosophy, deepen your alignment and get the most out of your personal practice - all of which will help you become an excellent teacher."

"Although I had received other forms of yoga training, nothing quite compared to the training at Wisdom Flow. Jennifer’s level of professionalism is outstanding. She has a deep desire to bring out the absolute best in her students and her style of mentoring (both during and after the training) gives you the skill, confidence and passion to take the seat of the teacher. I’m now teaching regularly within my community and loving every moment of the journey."

The Program

I was surprised at how challenging teaching really is. It is much more involved than practicing yoga. This training sharpened my focus and prepared me to be a clear compassionate leader.
