ABOUT US:

Owners and founders of FYS Megan and Lydia have been passionately teaching Yoga, leading training programs, continued education, and retreats locally in Idaho, Texas and globally for many years. Each instructor offers something the other does not which is ultimately what makes this duo so magnetic! These two have over 30 years of experience.  Lydia’s instruction embodies structure, safety and sequence building from an anatomical perspective while Megan will offer an insight to the energetic body, Ayurveda & philosophy. We truly believe in living a life of balance which looks and feels different for every-BODY! This is why we created Flow Yoga Collective, a school and retreats so that you too can find your state of Flow & live a life of fulfillment, abundance & passion.  

If you are a yoga teacher seeking to gain continuing education and dive into your 300hr program with us, we have something for you!  Our 300 Hour program is offered in modules throughout the year, you can join and take them in any order you would like!
