About the Maui fires...
Maui welcomes visitors to areas of the island such as Upcountry, Kahului, Wailuku, Kihei, Wailea, Makena, North Shore, and Hana.
The map here outlines the affected areas. Wisdom Flow Yoga events are hosted in the Upcountry and North shore parts of the island. We are blessed to be surrounded by verdant green mountains and warm white sand beaches.
Please bring your good energy to Maui. It will help us all heal. We look forward to welcoming you!
A note from our founder...
- Jennifer, Wisdom Flow Yoga founder
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.

Jennifer Lynn - ERYT 500 and founder of Wisdom Flow Yoga School, Jennifer was raised by nature-loving parents. She learned early on that the wisdom and glory of the divine are alive in nature, and we would be wise to follow the wisdom of nature in all we do. After a battle with level 4 cancer at age 28, Jennifer radically changed her life priorities and started a path of karmic clearing and joyful growth. Her first yoga class brought a profound out-of-body experience that awakened her sleeping soul. She has been on a path to share the gift of self-realization through yoga ever since. Jennifer believes it is through the reverant exploration of our brilliant bodies that we discover our divine roots. Jennifer has taken over 2000 hours of trainings and workshops with masters like Richard Freeman, John Friend, and Desiree Rumbaugh. In the Wisdom Flow Yoga Teacher Trainings Jennifer teaches alignment principles based on the sacred geometry of the body and sees our practice as a means to align more deeply with body, planet, cosmos and Love.

Svetlana Sidilkovskaia is a doctor of Physical Therapy, Yoga Therapist & Strength and Alignment Coach.
She believes spinal health is key to optimal function and longevity. Our musculoskeletal system functions from the root structure of the spine. It is a well-aligned spine and awakened core that allows for congruent joint movement, maximum strength in movement and unrestricted prana flow.
Combining her experience and knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics, rehabilitation, sports performance and yoga therapy, Svetlana invites you to heal your habits of compression and misalignment and learn to nourish your spine for the rest of your life.
Svetlana loves to balance the ancient wisdom of the east with the practical science of how the body works.
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."

"Wisdom Flow yoga provides a framework for studying all aspects of the practice, breath, postures, meditation, and philosophy. This framework can be used as a universal key to take into all types of movement practices. The structure of this training supports the yogi as they explore their own experience of expanding consciousness and helps them move towards purpose in life that is authentic to them."
