TESTIMONIALS
I thoroughly loved and continue to appreciate the experience I had with YTT with Chakra Flow University each day. I feel like I was properly prepared not only to teach yoga, but also to continue this life long journey to know and connect and embrace my most authentic self and the collective consciousness. Victoria, Brian, and Shanna were amazing teachers that pushed me to grow in ways I didn't think possible. I really valued the community we built between teachers, students, mentors, and now friends. Although this experience was intense and hard and packed with so much information and experience, I wouldn't trade it for the world. The knowledge I now have about myself and the world of yoga is so valuable and I am so grateful for this experience.

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
My experience with Chakra Flow University has been profound. From learning a breadth of topics on yoga philosophy, Sanskrit, Ayurveda, and social justice, to hands-on practical application of all of the limbs of yoga, the CFU YTT programming is a beautiful way to get your YT certification AND expose you to all of the beautiful things about Yoga and it’s sister sciences, guiding you towards further immersion of topics of interest. I felt very prepared to teach after I graduated and I also felt that I had grown so much as a human being and have cool new perspectives on life.

"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
I have completed Victoria’s 200 hour and 300 hour yoga teacher training. Victoria’s approach, teaching style and presence are life changing. She pours her entire heart into her students, and it shows. We leave yoga teacher training with an amazing certification, mentor and friend for life, and gift of yoga that is ever evolving! The support, guidance, knowledge and experience you receive in chakra flow YTT is next level!
Mindy Dougherty, 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. ❤️🙏"
