Yoga Teacher Training

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS Training

“YTT training with Gretchen at Bee Yoga Fusion was, in a word, transformative. It was thorough in all the normal ways you would imagine: I learned the mechanics of a number of foundational yoga poses, I learned mudras and pranayama, and I learned how to put together a flow. There is no doubt that anyone who takes YTT training with Gretchen will be able to tick all the basic yoga teacher boxes. But it was so much more than that: Gretchen’s training had soul, true soul. The study of the physical practice of yoga opened up into learning about the ethical, moral, and spiritual elements of yoga. Gretchen guided us and held space for us as, in studying yoga in its fullest sense, we discovered ourselves. The training process at Bee Yoga Fusion thus isn’t a clinical, additive process of “learning more poses,” or “learning how to cue.” You learn poses, and you learn how to cue (and, as to the latter, probably better than you’ll learn anywhere else). But so much more than that, Gretchen facilitates this a beautiful process of becoming: she brings you repeatedly to your mat and asks you, encourages you, and gives you tools to find yourself there, to find who you are when all that’s there is you and your breath and your vision of what is possible. If you want to be a yoga teacher, go get trained anywhere. If you want to find your voice, to teach from your heart and your soul, to teach with honesty and integrity, go to Gretchen and Bee Yoga Fusion.” -Naomi Reed

“The YTT 200-hour training at Bee Yoga Fusion was excellent. During this training at Bee Yoga Fusion, I learned more than I had anticipated. Gretchen was well prepared and shared so much of her knowledge selflessly with her students. The entire course was informative, challenging and well organized so that I was able to grow and learn and take what I have learned into the world with confidence.” -Ann Baney

“The Bee Yoga Fusion 200 hour yoga teacher training was extremely well planned, organized, well paced, and informative. The program focused on inclusivity and compassionate teaching and assists to best serve a diverse population of students.” -Heather Jacobson

“A wonderful teacher training experience! Gretchen helped us step-by-step to become yoga teachers, seeing abilities in us we could not see for ourselves. She demonstrated great flexibility as a teacher by pivoting to virtual training during the pandemic shut-down after 3 months in-person training and continuing with a high quality training experience. Throughout the training she often highlighted the importance of keeping our teaching open to all peoples, not excluding anyone. Highly recommended!” -Rob Parry

“This was an amazing experience! The biggest takeaway is the community of new friends and fellow teachers. Gretchen made the transition from real life to virtual during the pandemic as smooth as possible, while still managing to hold space for each of us.” -Robin Russell

“I signed up for YTT training with Gretchen at Bee Yoga Fusion because I wanted to gain a deeper understanding of yoga of what I had learned so far. A welcoming and respectful environment for everyone and yoga being accessible to anyone is among the highest values at BYF and was an essential part of the training. Gretchen created a supportive and safe space where we all found our place to grow beyond what we each expected. It was amazing to see how we each grew in our yoga practice, became more and more confident in teaching, started finding our personal teaching and style passion, and began to blossom into it. I highly recommend Gretchen’s YTT to anyone who wants to grow as a yogi, teacher, or person and is uniquely interested in making a positive difference in their community.” -Barbara Frasl

“Becoming a yoga teacher has been a pipe dream for me for some time. When Gretchen announced that she was holding YTT200 training, I jumped at the chance. The physical practice, spiritual practice, yoga teachings, and interpretation – it was what I expected, but there was so much more. The people in our cohort became a family. We became confident teachers because Gretchen is a great teacher. We worked hard, supported each other, shared our lives, and all grew as human beings. I cannot recommend this course enough!” -Laurie Lemieux

“The Bee Yoga Fusion YTT program was incredibly in-depth and thorough. We covered a lot of material and completed thoughtful assignments to supplement the lessons. There were many opportunities to practice teaching, and we learned how to teach yoga to a broad student base. Gretchen created a warm environment where the students felt comfortable and connected.” -Lynnette Marable
