Blue Lizard Yoga's Form and Flow 200hr Yoga Teacher Training is a year long training that focuses on the traditional spiritual teachings of Yoga Philosophy plus provides a strong foundation in how to practice and to teach poses safely and with good alignment.

- Sequencing strategies for teaching Basics (beginner focused), Form (mixed-level), and Flow (Vinyasa) classes

300 hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training
Blue Lizard Yoga's Form and Flow Advanced 300hr Yoga Teacher Training is appropriate for anyone who has completed a 200hr Yoga Teacher Training Program.
It is our belief that it is through practice that we become better teachers. Therefore, the Form and Flow 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training at Blue Lizard Yoga will emphasize personal practice and study of asana, meditation, and philosophy in order for our graduates to take their teaching to the next level. It is our intention that our graduates will understand how to practice and teach intermediate and advanced poses as well as how to modify their classes for beginning students, elderly students, students with larger bodies, students with injuries, and for the specific needs of athletes so that they will understand how to make yoga accessible to any student that comes into their classroom. We will also dive deeply into the philosophical teachings of Tantra, the Divine Feminine, and The Radiance Sutras, a lovely Tantric meditation text. Finally, we will explore the foundations of teaching and practicing Yin Yoga.
We also have some exciting program perks. The program also includes a year access to Blue Lizard Yoga's online classes, an online course designed to complement and refine the skills you learned in your 200hr YTT, and personal feedback from Beth. Note: The online course (see Yoga Teacher Mentorship above) can be taken prior to starting the Advanced Training as a preparation or during the training to solidify foundational teaching skills.
