Frequently Asked Questions

What Makes Our Yoga Teacher Training Unique?

Because we like to keep our courses small and intimate, we offer much more individual & “hands-on” attention during your training. What this means is that you will be given a lot more information & adjustments first hand to truly learn and grasp each component of what it takes to become a yoga teacher and teach effectively. Our goal is to make sure that each student leaves well prepared and ready to truly guide their students to true health and happiness. So if you feel that you would like more attention from your teachers during your training, then we are the perfect school for you. Also, each group (being so small) becomes a little like a family, and we have seen amazing, lasting friendships bloom. Our training, though tough, is FUN and we do not take ourselves too seriouslyJ We feel absorbing all the knowledge into your brain and body is hard enough, so our teachers bring humor and humility into the yoga school (along with some butt-kicking, and some really long, intense exams!)

Starting your Yoga Teaching Career:

Another great reason to take FlorYoga’s teacher training is that we have an established business system already in place in Jersey City and New York City where we offer mobile yoga to many people in their business or home. Our client base is constantly growing which means we are always hiring more teachers. Since we prefer to hire from within, this means that if we train & graduate you, we can immediately put you to work in our growing yoga business.

The Business Of Yoga

Because of our extensive work with national athletes and Hollywood industry leaders, we can teach you first hand how to develop your own personal teaching career. We mentor you through the “business of yoga” helping you launch your Yoga teaching career. We talk about liability and legal issues, and help you establish your own private insurance and can also offer help with marketing & promotion.
