The Program

Our 200-hour certification is offered as a 16-day immersion. With daily homework, students put in about 10-hours each day. Prerequisite reading and preparation make up approximately 20 hours and final projects, completed after the immersion, make up another 20 hours. Once students complete their registration, they receive a welcome package outlining prerequisite materials and curriculum details. With the prerequisite reading, daily homework, and teaching projects back home, students complete well over the 200 hours required for certification.

Your training will include learning how the body works, its optimal architecture and alignment principles used for intelligent adjusting and refining in poses. We cover both dynamic Vinyasa and steady Hatha styles. We want you to be well-rounded. You will have plenty of time to practice teaching with personal feedback from teachers and peers. You will craft your very own class that you teach as your final project. You will include in your class; clear rhythmic instruction, basic pose alignment, clear breath instruction, and inspirational philosophy. You will learn to guide your students to make alignment a priority and breath the guide so they grow sustainably, and joyfully.

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.

Maui is extremely popular as a destination so we advise you to book your accommodations at least three month in advance. To find places near the studio, search VRBO and Airbnb for rooms in Makawao, Pukalani, Kula, or Haiku. We do have accommodation hosts in our community who sometime offer budget-friendly rooms. The contact information for these yogi hosts is included in the welcome package you receive once you register and pay.

Wisdom Flow Yoga is a based on the sacred geometry of the body and the empowerment that rises naturally when we align with our divine architecture. Jennifer, the founder, studied Anusara Yoga with John Friend and Desiree Rumbaugh. She has studied with Shiva Rae, Max Strom, and martial artists Mathew Cohen and Duncan Wong (you can google them). She has been teaching since 1999 and offering teacher trainings since 2007. Wisdom Flow School teaches alignment-rich vinyasa and carefully crafted Hatha sequences designed to be accessible to a broad range of yogis. Breath work, core strength, and bandha action are emphasized as the inner structures that make the poses healing and empowering. The bigger-picture intention of practicing to know ourselves more deeply and offer our light more freely is at the heart of the teaching. The Wisdom Flow style is both precise and playful. If we aren't practicing to bring greater joy, then why bother, right? In this training, you will get all the tools you need to create an inspiring yoga class! Even if you don't plan to teach yoga professionally, completing a teacher training will deepen your physical, mental and spiritual practice. 

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 plenty of personal attention. Apply early to assure your spot.
