200-Hour Registered Yoga Teacher Training at Flow Yoga

Erica’s teacher training is a truly transformative experience, if I could do it ten times over I absolutely would. Erica leads her yogis with a full heart and authenticity, which sets her apart from others. She inspired me to be my best at all times, and built my confidence throughout the process. I remember never really believing that I would actually have the courage to teach yoga, however, Erica’s expertise reminded me of my inner strength and as soon I completed my 200 hours I hit the ground running. After graduating in 2019, I have taught at four studios, taught to the teachers at my school, had two teen workshop series, and even created my own yoga community at my apartment complex. Whenever I am approached by a student with praise or gratitude I am reflective of the amazing journey that comprises an Erica Stanzione teacher training; an experience that is difficult to put it words. In addition to all of this, the journey brought me some of my dearest friends; a supportive network that I continue to lean on to this very day. If you are thinking about doing this training…stop, and just do it and you can thank me later.

This training is hard to describe in a few words. Signing up for teacher training with Erica was a pivotal moment that guided me into my adulthood in a way I truly never would’ve thought possible. Erica will fill you with all of the technical knowledge it takes to successfully teach a yoga class through a well-rounded curriculum encompassing pranayama and asana, anatomy, hands-on adjustments, the Sutras and philosophy, dharma creation, and the business side of the industry. But, most importantly, Erica will create a space where you feel safe to dive deep into your personal practice and connection with yourself while forming this community of support that is an invaluable facet of this profoundly transformative journey. It’s hard work that may make you question why you ever thought it was a good idea to give up your weekends to be secluded in a yoga studio with a group of strangers…But an experience that I know almost certainly you will not find from any other teacher training. Even if your goal isn’t ultimately to teach (mine wasn’t and I’m now teaching two public classes a week at a studio), the tools you will gain from this training aren’t confined to your mat or a yoga studio. I am forever grateful for my TT journey, all of Erica’s hard work and passion she put into it, and her continued support since graduation. I am a better person, and yoga teacher, because of it.

There are so many amazing things that I could say about my experience. I loved being in studio 2 with Erica and our group. The statement that keeps coming to mind about my experience is it was LIFE CHANGING! The love and acceptance that I felt during this time was unreal. Not only did I grow in my understanding of yoga but I left a better person all because of Erica. It took my recovery program to the next level as well because of the spiritual piece that yoga offers. At 48 years old I questioned myself before training started. I am too old to do this. My age was never a factor during TT. Our group was so accepting and non judgemental all due to Erica’s ability to cultivate community. Also because Flow itself has such a strong sense of community. My advice to anyone thinking of doing TT…Take the leap of faith. You will NOT regret it. It will change your life.

Erica’s teacher training program not only prepared me to teach, but deepened and transformed my yoga practice and my life. Erica creates a welcoming environment where you will analyze the postures and the practice, and find your voice and unique style as a teacher. Through this process you will also analyze parts of yourself and your life, and find your inner teacher off of the mat. I am so grateful to Erica for sharing her gifts and guiding me. Following the training, I have been regularly teaching in a studio which has been one of the most fulfilling aspects of my life.

I was fortunate and blessed to be under the loving guidance and expertise of Erica for my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training. I knew this would be an exciting journey, but I had no idea that it would be as life changing as it was. Erica so generously shared every bit of knowledge that she has with us, pertaining to the asanas, breath work, the spiritual/emotional components of yoga, anatomy, curating playlists and developing personal yet universal dharmas. She taught us about living our most authentic lives, the highest versions of ourselves as yogis, on and off the mat. Most importantly, she taught us to meet ourselves and our future students, exactly where we are in our practice, with grace and acceptance. Studying and training under Erica not only prepared me as a teacher here at Flow, but allowed me to open my mind, my heart and my soul to all of the countless and beautiful lessons that the practice of yoga teaches us. I completed my 200 hour training feeling confident, prepared and filled with so much gratitude!

Yoga was a practice I was never involved in until my friend brought me to Flow after a tumultuous breakup. I needed all the self-care and healing I could get and at Flow; the amazing community space of practitioners and teachers alike made me feel right at home. Upon discussions with Erica about continuing on my self-care journey I decided to take Yoga Teacher Training at Flow prior to the pandemic. Since my graduation, I have been teaching Yoga part time at a gym in Rockland while still maintaining my High School teaching career. Yoga Teacher Training with Erica at Flow changed my life, spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically and has connected me with a community of people for the rest of my life.

TT at Flow with Erica was everything I never knew I needed. Her love and passion for teaching is contagious, leaving me confident to teach and hold space for others through yoga. I am eternally grateful for the safe space she offers for people to learn more about this beautiful practice.

I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor in this tremendously vulnerable and transformative training. Erica’s warm and loving nature not only helped me step into the role as a confident yoga teacher, but also as an empowered woman. Without this training, I wouldn’t have met four amazing ladies who understand and support me every day. I am forever grateful!!

My YTT experience with Erica transformed my life. Not only did I meet an incredible group of women who became my soul sisters, I was also able to connect with the yoga practice in a way I never thought was possible. Erica guided us in a training that encompassed all you could possibly ask for in a TT. Over the four month training we studied the physical aspects of yoga (alignment, anatomy, assists). We tapped into the spiritual (sutras, chakras, and guided meditation) and the emotional (journaling, dharma creation) in an environment that was safe and inviting. Erica has a passion for this practice. She instills confidence in her students, which greatly prepared me for my journey as a future yoga teacher. Since TT, I have started to teach regularly and the greatest compliment I’ve received is that my class felt like an Erica Stanzione class ☺ There is no price tag I could put on this experience and how it shaped my life for the better. Thank you, Erica!

My 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training experience with Erica was everything I could’ve ever imagined and more. Erica put her heart and soul into guiding us and preparing us to be the best yoga teachers we can possibly be. We learned how to sequence and cue an asana practice, pranayama, and how to instill and weave the impactful teachings of yoga throughout our classes, but we also learned more about ourselves than we ever expected. Some people take a yoga teacher training just to deepen their practice, some study with the intent to teach. What I have gained from this experience is the confidence in my abilities as a woman, a healer and a spiritual seeker. Erica’s brand of Heal Your Heart Yoga carried into our training in such a beautiful way that I think I can speak for all of us when I say this training aided us in blooming into the highest versions of ourselves. This is a journey of a lifetime and anyone fortunate enough to take part is in for a magical ride.

I was hesitant to start a teacher training because I was going through a lot and wasn’t sure there was a teacher within me but I am SO glad I dove in because it turned out to be the most transformational and healing experience of my life.  I am so grateful to Erica for leading us through this experience because she is a truly gifted teacher and healer. I graduated having found more passion, more love, and most importantly the teacher within me. Erica has fully prepared me to teach and to continue on this spiritual/yogic journey and I am so grateful and excited for that.
