Slow Flow Foundations

Slow Flow Foundations offers teachers an opportunity to develop confidence in teaching Slow Flow Yoga. This can then be combined with Yin for Yin Fusion classes or used in gentle Yoga Therapy Programmes and somatic unwindings. It is also a great training if your primary foundation training did not incorporate Vinyasa or Flow Yoga, or if you want to learn a language based on inclusivity, accessibility and self-connection.

Acceditation & Eligability

This Yoga Alliance Registered training is suitable for qualified Yoga Teachers who have completed a 200 hr Yoga Training or equivalent. Your 200 hr does not have to be recognised or registered with Y.A. Y.A have given GLY permission to assess eligibility. Therefore if your 200 hr foundation training is not Y.A recognised, you can jump into the Y.A system after you complete the 300 hr and register as. SYT, Senior Yoga Teacher at a 300 hr level or a 500 hr level.

Please note that this training does not qualify graduates as “yoga therapists”. In affiliation with IAYT (International Association of Yoga Therapy) protocol, to become recognised as a yoga therapist requires 800 hrs of Yoga therapy training after the 200 hr foundation training. GLY is working towards providing the full 800 hrs Yoga Therapy Certification and this 300 hr can be used as the first stage towards the full 800 hrs programme. Also IAYT does allow schools to adopt hours from one to another, so you could do 300 hr with GLY and then change to another registered IAYT registered school for the remaining 500 hrs if you want a full Yoga Therapy Certification.

I am a Mum. I work a full time job and my days are full. I knew it would be difficult for me to doing a full 300 hr Yoga course online. But then I came across Green Lotus Yoga. After my first weekend, dipping my toes in, I knew this path would be for me. The flexibility and timings of the modules fit in with my life perfectly. Carol is professional at orchestrating the online aspect of her classes. She is passionate about yoga and keep to share her depth of knowledge and years of experience. Her manuals are a delight, concise, colourful and well written. The online materials an quizzes are easy to follow and of a very high standard. I am continuing my 300 hr journey and enjoying every minute of it.

The PDF manuals that came with the 300 hr were fantastic. The Zoom sessions were great and it was my first time ever on Zoom so I learnt so much. I did all the Zoom sessions from Bahrain and apart from a few sound issues every now and then( which is perfectly normal), visuals and sound were spot on. I really enjoyed the recordings as when I was unsure or a bit lost I could pause, reread,contemplate and start again.
