FYTT

Barefoot Movement’s Flow Yoga Teacher Training (formerly, Yoga Immersion!) is the result of student requests.  Interested in becoming instructors themselves, Leah Gillman’s students approached her with the idea.  To round out the program, Leah sought the help of Carrie Adams and then also Parag Mody, Julie Bata and Pierre Couvillion whose styles and talents all compliment each other beautifully.

One of the strengths of the FYTT program is its more intimate nature.  Class size is limited to approximately 20 participants.  To accommodate the variety of strengths and abilities among students, the program is structured to motivate and encourage all students while also opening opportunities to those who are ready to do more than the minimum.

FYTT is affiliated with the Downtown Oakland YMCA, where Leah, Carrie and Julie teach on a regular basis.  This mutually beneficial relationship provides additional classes to YMCA members while providing additional teaching opportunities to FYTT participants.  You do not need to be a YMCA member to enroll in the FYTT program.

Students participate in the FYTT program for many different reasons. Some are hoping to  launch full-time careers in the yoga field, some do it for personal growth, while others enroll to enhance their abilities to give the gifts of yoga to their family, friends, and to under-served communities that would benefit from yoga classes.

We are excited about connecting certified FYTT graduates with people and organizations that are addressing under-served communities.  If you know of a place that could benefit from a FYTT graduate’s teaching, please let us know!
