BIPOC 200HR Yoga Teacher Training
Coming soon 2024
Study Yoga with BIPOC (Black Indigenous People of Color) teachers who celebrate and uplift the unique voices and perspectives of BIPOC people.
Progress on the yoga journey requires honesty, deep listening, and an open heart. This only happens when we are in an environment where others understand us and we can freely be ourselves. Most yoga studios and yoga training centers around the “White” experience. Taking these trainings leaves many BIPOC folks feeling alone, misunderstood, and constantly having to explain their point of view.
Many BIPOC people, “code-switch” during their training, change their behavior to make White people feel more comfortable. Your teachers at Chakra Flow University understand how tiring, stressful, and toxic these environments can be, so we created a space just for us.
TESTIMONIALS
This 200 hour YTT deepened my personal practice and my connection with yoga and myself. It truly helped me to elevate physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. My favorite part was the diversity in training modules and the dedication of the teacher. Victoria is amazing and made sure that even though during our YTT the COVID19 pandemic occurred causing us to move things around to make it happen I don't feel as though the training was lacking at all, if anything there was more. I would 1000% recommend this 200 hour certification to anyone looking to deepen their practice with a teacher who puts in the work and is there supporting you the entire way. The training is creative, in depth, diverse and really gives you a tribe that encourages you to be the best. I felt more than well equipped to teach immediately after graduation from the course.

Chakra Flow University is so intentional and was such a beautiful spiritual journey. This program has so much to offer to someone wanting to go deeper into their practice and becoming a teacher.
Brittany Elisabeth Hill, YTT 200 Student
It was a journey that I knew I needed but didn't understand how much I needed this experience. I've meet sisters and gained a tribe that allows me to break while building a concrete foundation. Chakra Flow University is highly recommended and greatly needed. As a woman of color, I was able to learn the history of yoga and see why it is a must in my community. The best therapy sessions ever!
Verlishia Clay, YTT 200 Student
It was not a coincidence to have found Chakra Flow University when I did, it was destiny. To have teachers that look like me and the community I'm a part of, is priceless. To have an all BIPOC teaching staff for BIPOC students was magical and comforting. I could not praise the love and care Victoria and the teachers including in the trainings enough!
Ty Vazquez, YTT 200 Student
Chakra Flow University Provided an extremely thorough training program! This program will make you an expert in yoga and teaching yoga. You will learn more than you ever knew existed about yoga and become more than you ever planned on as both a person and as a yogi! The school and program are very tough and will test your physical strength and commitment while offering you an opportunity to grow spiritually and make friends for life! The program is held outdoors and being outside practicing yoga everyday was Fabulous!

"I recently completed my 200 YTT training with Victoria and highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking to begin their teaching journey or even to deepen their practice.
Victoria's energy was just as high and passionate during our last hour of training that it was our first hour and that was energizing and inspiring. God has blessed this beautiful soul with a true gift and it was a honor to be part of her first 200 YTT program."
Sarah Knill, YTT 200 Student
"In October of 2018, I completed my 200 YTT ( teacher training) with Victoria, the owner of Chakra Flow University. It was truly a life changing experience. Anyone looking to deepen their understanding and practice of yoga and Ayurveda or teach classes should look no further!"
Alexa Hagenbrock, YTT 200 Student
Victoria is the most incredible teacher! Chakra Flow University provided me with so much more than I expected to gain. The way that she had developed her program is so beautiful and packed with quality content - She is completely devoted to this practice and provides a great foundation to learn about this devotion to practice for oneself and to share with others. She teaches with an integrity of remaining true to the roots of yoga with an emphasis on the philosophy of yoga. I could not recommend CFU more, this training changed my life and will continue to for the rest of my days. Thank you Victoria Martinez, you are so appreciated by me and countless others!

"My yoga teacher training experience with Chakra Flow University was amazing! Victoria is amazing! You really feel her love and her desire for her students to be successful in the training and as yoga teachers. She is so knowledgeable and you really feel and are inspired by her passion and love of teaching, yoga, living a healthy life, and Ayurveda. I registered for this 200 hr yoga teacher training to become a yoga instructor and share my passion and love of yoga with others, but I graduated having been transformed personally. I learned a lot about myself and how to live a more centered and yogi life. I became a better wife, mother, and person through the training, and for that, I am so, so grateful. During my training, I experienced a move to another state, my daughter graduating high school and going off to college, and a job change. My life basically was turned upside down. I seriously feel that my training and all the knowledge Victoria so willingly shared with us helped me so much through all this change in my life and kept me from mentally falling apart. The training was tough and there was a lot of homework and there were many times I wanted to just throw in the towel, but I'm so grateful I didn't. Even if I never taught a yoga class, I would not regret taking this training. I currently am teaching and, because of Victoria and her school, I'm able to share my passion and really teach from my heart and soul. I've received a lot of positive feedback from my classes, and I'm able to help others not only feel good after a class, but to really have an appreciation for yoga and all that goes with it. I'm able to show that yoga is more than just poses you do on your mat, but it's a way of life that can really transform you. I owe that to Victoria and YTT. ❤️🙏"
