Sofia
I am growing this program because I was already practicing at the studio. I felt like home and I wanted to get deeper in my own practice while also learning teaching skills.
The program exceeded any expectation that I had it set to meticulously design each module to encompass not only the practice of yoga, but also anatomy, teaching skills and ethics.
Here's what our FYM trained practitioners have to say about the training:

Christine
“Christine, who was a long time Yogi transitioned from her IT job into full time teaching. She was struggling with confidence and finding her voice and today, with the guidance and coaching of Dr. Connie, she’s thriving teaching, doing privates, and getting raving reviews. She’s on her path to be fully certified in FYMCP to include nutrition, functional medicine, and 300 HR RYT within one year of starting 200 HR training.”

Sofia
“Sofia, who graduated in FYM 200 HR last June, is now teaching Prenatal and Postpartum Yoga. Sofia says, “This is why I loved your training so much. Now I read about all this anatomical terms and it all makes sense.
It is great to see how everything works together and impact so many things in life, for me preparing for birth right now knowing how to help my body with movement, postures and correct alignment”.

Hanbi
“Hanbi, who was trained in FYM 200 hr enrolled to get better at her body awareness and muscle activation. After years of Pilates and Yoga, she still wasn’t able to activate the correct muscles. Tactile cueing and guidance from Dr. Connie allowed her to find the muscles she wasn’t able to control and today she is a strong, confident practitioner at Functional Yoga Medicine who is wanting to transition out of her Nurse Practitioner role at an internal medicine office where she feels she is perpetuating symptoms. She’s also enrolled in FYMCP to learn functional medicine, Yoga 300 hr, and coaching to transition out of her career into a path that will enable her to truly help people. Hanbi says, “when i go to work, it’s dreadful, but when I come to FYM, I find myself smiling and happy!”.

Functional Yoga Medicine Difference!
Functional yoga medicine is different, it’s created and taught by Dr. Connie with the following credentials:


Injuries happen in Yoga!
A 2016 study by Swain and McGwin analyzed NEISS data from 2001 to 2014 and found that yoga-related injuries increased from 10 per 100,000 participants in 2001 to 17 per 100,000 participants in 2014, indicating a significant rise in injuries as the popularity of yoga grew.
Many factors, including a sedentary lifestyle, poor posture, and stress contribute to this rise a result, instructor's experience is at the top of the reasons.
Injuries can occur more frequently in classes led by less experienced instructors who may not provide adequate guidance on proper form and modifications. Yet, there are many who are getting trained online without proper awareness of body mechanics, alignment, and posture.

Christine
If you've ever met Dr. Connie, you'll instantly know how knowledgeable and passionate she is about everything regarding the human body, and especially in terms of holistic and multifaceted healing and wellness.

Understanding alignment is essential to safe and fruitful yoga practice
✔ In our training, we focus heavily on the proper alignment of the body in various poses and postures.
✔ That’s because we know the best yoga instructors are the ones who have intimate knowledge of the body’s anatomy and the way it's designed to move. . .
✔ They’re the teachers who understand how to prevent – and heal – injuries through yoga.

I honestly believe that yoga changed my life after experiencing some trauma going through my postpartum period and through grief, I was looking for something that will give me that feeling of peace, feeling of calmness and interconnectedness. It didn't take me long to realize that yoga was my answer, and I signed up for the training at functional yoga medicine, and I honestly believe it changed my life forever.
🙏 Yoga changed their lives

Graduates from our program teach with confidence because they understand the body physically and emotionally.
🌟 Kristin C
"I honestly feel differently about my life having gone through this process. I have shifted my expectations to inviting grace, joy, and gratitude into my life everyday in hopes that I will never achieve perfection, but always be learning and embracing myself as a work in progress. I guess through compassion and acceptance you could say I have embraced the heart of a Buddhist.
Thanks to Dr. Connie, I truly enjoy teaching and trust in my ability to teach."
🌟 Leslie L.
"I truly believe the Functional Yoga Medicine™ Yoga Teacher Training has had a tremendous impact on the person I am today. It is so much more than just yoga teacher training; this program has changed me from the inside out. Still being rather new to yoga when I began my teacher training, I learned so much about the history of yoga, including different forms of classical yoga, all the way to modern yoga practiced today. I am confident in my ability to teach yoga."
🌟 Michele T.
"I came into the program with a little knowledge of yoga and was provided so much learning, about yoga and about myself. It was a balance of learning who I was and what I wanted to achieve and really focusing on the history of yoga, learning the subtleties of the yoga poses we focused on and how to make yoga a restorative process for participants. I walked away with a sense of gratitude and knowing that I can help my clients get to another place in their lives."

This approach transformed my health, and now it’s my mission to share it with the world.
My vision is to empower others to transform their lives using these powerful healing tools.
