"I was already familiar with the dedicated teachers and inviting atmosphere at Fusion so when I decided to pursue teacher training, it was the first place I looked. Gina and Natalie have put together a well-rounded and extensive training program that keeps you engaged and eager to see what is coming next. While there is always a lot to cover in each class, the teachers are flexible and encourage questions and participation. The smaller class size gave us each ample opportunity to actually get up in front of the studio and teach…that experience was invaluable! Whether you are looking to teach or just deepen your personal practice, I can’t imagine a more positive and supportive place to do it!"  
- Adrianne Ariglio
"There’s not enough space here to even begin to share all my thoughts and impressions of this training. It by far exceeded all expectations. I went to Columbia University undergrad, have a masters degree in Public Administration, have attended countless corporate trainings, and this is by far the best thing I have ever done."
- Coco Allshouse

"I will forever be grateful for the leap I took to attend YTT at Fusion, because my life has been changed. I have received a gift, the gift of yoga and its principles and practices. My biggest joy upon graduation was the outpouring of love from my immediate family and my new Fusion family. My grandkids, all 9 of them, are excited I will be able to teach them what I have learned so far, the journey has just begun. I have found calm and joy in my life, which I must seek and practice every day. Namaste."

"I can’t say enough good things about the yoga teacher training at Fusion. I wanted to take yoga teacher training to deepen my own knowledge and strengthen my personal practice. As a current student at Fusion I knew it would be a safe space to learn and grow. I loved the emphasis that yoga is not just the physical practice, there are 8 limbs of yoga! Natalie and Gina are knowledgable, passionate and encouraging. Other Fusion yoga teachers were also supportive of us as students and were always willing to assist us. The training was such a positive experience for me, I know it’s impact will go far beyond those 7 weekends we spent together."

GINA MARIE GOODRICH, LEAD TRAINER

E-RYT 200 & 500 Hour Registered Yoga Teacher, Reiki Master Teacher

Many years ago I committed myself to make time for my yoga practice, no matter what. It's truly amazing how 1 hour of practice can transform me into a calm, peaceful and tranquil being. Then the added bonuses of more energy, strength, flexibility, sturdiness, balance, patience, improved breath, skin tone, youthfulness, awareness...the list goes on. I've never met a yogi who didn't agree 100%. Hence, yoga's growing popularity.

Because I am so passionate about yoga and believe its great benefits should be shared with everyone, I decided to get certified and teach. As Maya Angelou said, “When you learn, teach, when you get, give.”  So I shall teach.

After certification I have continued to study daily whether reading, attending class and attending special events. I have trained under Rodney Yee and Colleen Saidman, Kathryn Budig, Seane Corn, Sadie Nardini, to name a few. Learning is a lifetime adventure.

My path to create Fusion as a Registered Yoga School...

Over the past 5 years I received many requests from yoga students and the community to offer a Fusion Yoga Teacher Training. With Natalie's dedication and focus, together we pursued the creation of a highly credible curriculum and gained approval from Yoga Alliance. We are excited to offer an inspiring, substance-filled and life-transforming course. We aim for our students to graduate with knowledge and confidence regarding all facets of authentic yoga practices and the ability to teach effectively should they choose to do so, now or in the future.

Teacher training students often create a special bonds with one another during training. We hope you will forge beautiful new connections in your life as we all share and grow together!

Our Fusion Philosophy is simple....Breathe. Move. Connect.

Namaste,

Gina
