Graduates of this one month residential training leave Costa Rica fully prepared to teach yoga classes, and upon completion of the course work, receive certification as a Level One Taoflow Yoga instructor eligible for national recognition as an RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher) with the Yoga Alliance.

The result of over twenty years of research and development, Taoflow Yoga is a unique synthesis of yoga and qigong, fusing some of the most effective methods of movement, meditation and self-healing. The practice has a strong emphasis in postural alignment, joint mobility training, internal energy cultivation, and meditative breathing. Rooted in the time-tested principals of Oriental Medicine, Taoflow Yoga works to strengthen the body from the inside out, detoxifying and rejuvenating the internal organs, nourishing the joints, tendons and ligaments, and greatly increasing overall vitality. You’ll be amazed at how good you feel!

Cain’s distinct approach to Yoga Teacher Training allows each student to feel honored and respected. He guides each student to cultivate a life-long practice and a unique teaching style relevant to their own particular talents and passions. In the program, you start where you are and work with your own strengths and challenges to discover a deep personal relationship to yoga.

“Cain Carroll and the program that he teaches have changed my life forever. I came into the program to gain personal knowledge and was shown a door opening to endless possibilities. He has not only given his students excellent instruction, but treated us with such respect and love that we in turn will pass on to others. He believes in us and that gift is so very precious. I, in turn, have the utmost respect and love for my teacher, Cain Carroll. His teachings will be with me always.” – Barb Rector, RYT-500

“From the moment Cain began our first class, a sacred journey began for me and it is continuing each day hence. I ‘became’ a student of Yoga in Cain’s class. And even more notable is my many fellow classmates had a similar experience. Cain’s unique style of teaching allows for an integration of the curriculum that can’t compare with most programs. My confidence, understanding and commitment to the philosophy and way of the Yogi is directly linked or yoked to Cain’s ability and masterful teaching style. It’s difficult to put into words the fullness that I feel as a student who participated in the teacher training program with Cain; suffice it to say that his example of being a devoted student of Yoga stands with me every time I place my bare feet on my yoga mat, how does one quantify that? My gratefulness will always be in abundance.” – Cynthia

“Just take this course. Leave considerations at the door, show up, feel everything, come away with more than you can anticipate. Expect huge changes, challenges, deep love and a certainty that your life will be different–more colorful, more open, more brilliant. This is magical stuff.” – Sharman Summers

“Cain’s ability to reach the hearts of his student’s is profound. He treats everyone with respect and love, pushing us further into our own paths. Perhaps his greatest gift as a teacher is his absence of ego in the teachng process. It is never about him; it is about us and the material. He gives his students the tools to do their own work. It is very rare to find a teacher with an egoless approach. He’s a model for my own teaching as well. To put it another way–Cain has not changed my life; Cain has given me guidance, instruction and tools to change my own life. He saw a me I couldn’t see–and the more he showed me what he saw, the more I could move into my own truth.”

– Laraine Herring, author of The Writing Warrior and Writing Begins With the Breath

“This has been one of the most beautiful and rewarding experiences of my life. Not easy, but one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. Cain’s passion is on fire and his heart is open, a true gift to this world.” – Lanae Valentine

“I have to tell you how exceptionally pleased I am with the Yoga Teacher Training Program. Your teaching is wonderful. I so appreciate your depth of spirit and experience, and the openness of your heart and how you are able to guide people with such integrity and honesty wherever they are on their paths. That is a true gift and one that is a pleasure to be witnessing and experiencing.” – Nancy Larson

“This program has opened a doorway to positive transformation on deep personal, spiritual, material, and professional levels. Cain is a tremendously gifted teacher. He is able to unify concepts and movement practices in a magical way that will forever remain in my heart and inspire me to continue learning and training at a deeper level.” – Cheryl VanDemark, P.T.

“I feel more prepared to meet whatever happens in my life with grace. The most valuable thing I’ve taken form this program has been the practice of meeting my thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and concepts of ‘myself’ with awareness. Pain and fear no longer frighten me as they did before!.” – Iris Marble Cushing

“Cain is a Yogi who lives, eats, breathes his Yoga, yet his teachings are accessible to the most elementary student. He has a positive, benevolent teaching style, always reminding the novice of Yoga basics, while challenging the more advanced practitioner to play to their edge. He is warm and humorous, well-read and eloquent, gifted and humble. A yoga student couldn’t hope for a better teacher.” – Holli Jaramillo
