Fluid Yoga® 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Program
Yoga Alliance 200 Hour Certified Teacher Training
October 2023-April 2024
Fluid is a substance that continually flows under an applied stress; smooth, flowing, graceful....
Fluid is not a style, it is a recognition of life as ever changing, flowing from one moment to the next. It’s a way of life. Get ready to take your practice to a new level, gain new insight and wisdom, and develop your own voice as you move into the next phase of your yoga experience.
The 200-hour Fluid Yoga® Teacher Training Program invites you to go beyond learning to teach a yoga class, and instead join a community of teachers that values the personal strength we achieve when deeply interconnected with our practice and sangha.
Within the framework of a Yoga Alliance-certified curriculum, our 200-hour program focuses on personal enrichment, the discovery of your individual path, building community, inspiring leadership and cultivating a network of teachers whose offerings are intelligent by design and fluid by nature.
The program is delivered over the course of 6 months, including attendance at the Fluid Mind & Spirit and Fluid Body Modules.

The Training
Fluid Mind & Spirit Modules
Weekend Immersion
Option 1 :: Thu October 19th- Sun, October 22nd 2023 ::
Option 2 :: Thu November 9th- Sun, November 12th 2023 ::
Join us in person** in Wilmington, Vermont for a 4 day retreat-style weekend immersion. In Fluid Mind & Spirit we will cover the tools that students need to better understand their own minds and explore the central question: How can we let go of fear, craving and attachment in order to become happier and more content?
A Fluid mind is present and adaptable to change- qualities that lead to happier living and more refined yogic practice.
We often think of life as static snapshots that are put together to form a bigger picture, but in reality the nature of life is flowing from one moment to the next. Since life is fluid, we can all benefit from discovering a way of life that moves with the forces of nature instead of against them. Fluid Living teaches us to move effortlessly through life in a way that creates happiness within ourselves and those around us. This module uses experiential learning and real world examples while drawing on the ancient Tibetan yogic philosophies such as the Six Paramitas as outlined The Bodhisattva’s Way of Living.

FLUID MODULE: Fluid Body
:: Fri, December 1st – Sun, December 3rd ::
An approach to movement that allows for freedom and exploration while aligning the body in a safe and efficient manner. Unlike a mechanical or precision based alignment, this approach to movement honors the dynamic nature of the yoga practice and keeps the body safe without disrupting flow. With simplicity in mind, Fluid Body provides students and teachers with simplistic methods for understanding safe alignment. Acknowledging that the safest alignment starts within the mind, you will learn how to listen carefully to your own body to make the intuitive adjustments as your body moves.
