OVERVIEW

Our redesigned Yoga Alliance 200 RYT program is a hybrid program offering the benefit of live virtual learning as well as the value of hands-on in person training. Trainees are nurtured and challenged to grow, open and release through self-reflection and meditation, while learning the multifaceted skill set necessary to effectively lead strong asana practices. Our learning environment is collaborative and highly interactive as we explore our lineage and study the philosophy that yields the physical, emotional, intellectual and often spiritual transformation of practicing and teaching yoga.

Our training team is led by Kathy Forgrave C-IAYT, a yoga therapist with 20 years of teaching experience. Kathy has facilitated over a dozen RYT 200 hour programs and her 5th at BOLD Flow.

Trainees will also have the opportunity to learn and grow from several of our talented BOLD Flow teachers who will be contributing as Guest Teachers - more to come!

Graduates of our program are eligible to join Yoga Alliance as a Registered 200 hour RYT.

TEACHER LEAD

Kathy Forgrave (she/her)

YTT Lead, C-IAYT, E-RYT 500, RCYT, RPYT, Master Level Reiki Practitioner

Yoga brought me healing when I was at my most vulnerable.  I enrolled in teacher training in 2001 to understand why and how blending breath, awareness, movement and stillness was so profoundly powerful.  Yoga gave me the gift of space; to breathe, to rest, to move mindfully; a sharp contrast to the mindless movement (aka a way too busy life) that had led to my significant illness. After receiving my RYT 200, my passion was to bring yoga to any and all, but especially those that felt they weren’t equipped.  Training, experience and time led me to teach yoga at Beaumont Health, to work with a pediatric practice, to bring mindfulness based yoga to school children and their teachers, and ultimately to assist in creating the Beaumont School of Yoga Therapy, where I taught the RYT 200 program for 5 years, in addition to yoga and yoga therapy classes for patient populations.  

For years, my personal practice has largely been a home - based practice, periodically popping in and out of many area yoga studios. The one studio I kept returning to was BOLD Flow. I felt at home; accepted and welcomed after each and every absence. I am beyond excited in my new capacity as Director of Teacher Training and Teacher Development. We all learn best when we learn together and from each other. I feel blessed to be here. 

Additional training contributions from a variety of our Guest Teachers joining to enhance and broaden the learning and YTT experience.

TESTIMONIALS

“This yoga training changed my life. Not only do I have a deeper understanding of my own physical practice, but I have learned so much about my INNER self. I have learned the foundation for balance both on and off my mat.” - Kayla C.

“My 200-YTT program through Yoga Shelter was more than I could have imagined. The community that is cultivated and the growth that is developed is truly beautiful. I would highly recommend the program to anyone that is wanting to become more open, self-aware, and flexible (pun intended) in their day to day lives.” - Whitney E.

“Yoga teacher training exceeded my expectations. I was challenged to get out of my comfort zone, meet my edge and also go within. I have learned so much throughout this training from history to meditation and so much more. Coming out of this, I feel confident to continue my path on this yoga journey with a supportive community behind me.” - Laura

“This experience was completely transformational for me. It allowed me to grow as a person because it helped me to look deeper and learn so much more about myself. The leaders created a safe space that offered so many opportunities for growth. I highly recommend this teaching training to anyone who is considering it. It will change you.” - Katie H.

“This was a life-changing experience. The training strengthened my yoga practice and deepened my personal meditation practice. I’ve noticed an uptick in my creativity which was an unexpected, but highly enjoyable byproduct of the various exercises and experiences we shared. The Yoga Shelter YTT program teaches you how to live your yoga off of the mat and share the gift with others. I highly recommend this program to anyone considering YTT.” - Brooke W.
