Flex Yoga's 300-hour RYS teacher training will include a well experienced teaching staff including: Emily Moorefield Mariola, Christine Canter, and Nichole Studd. This collaboration of teachers will allow students to learn specific skills from a few incredibly talented, dedicated staff with different skill sets and interests.
​
Our training will consist of 1 Introduction Meeting, 9 modules, and 1 week immersion (Seva project). Trainees must complete 9 out of 10 modules, and 1 week immersion (Seva project) within 3 years from their start date. Trainees are expected to begin with Module 0, which has a rolling start date, and may take all other modules and their week immersion as it fits their schedule.
​
Modules 1-10 are also open to those who want continuing education but do not want to complete the 300 hour training.
​
All participants will be required to complete outside reading and homework. This will be an intellectually, emotionally and physically intense training. Students will ask difficult questions of themselves and others; self-study is an important part of this training and students should be prepared. All questions regarding this training can be sent to info@flexyogawooster.com.
​
