DEEPEN YOUR PRACTICE, AWAKEN YOUR POTENTIAL

Powerflow School of Yoga’s intimate & personalized 200-Hr teacher training takes you on a transformative journey through Patanjali’s Eight-Limb Yogic System, providing a pragmatic approach to impactful teaching. Whether you aspire to become a Yoga Alliance certified instructor or to deepen your own personal practice, this immersive training will deliver an impactful, life-changing journey. With over 20 years of combined teaching experience, our seasoned lead instructors understand this path and will empower your inner teacher.

Andrea Scaramelli, E-RYT 500, first discovered Bikram yoga as a college student in Washington D.C. Andrea found it greatly helped her to manage the demands of school & athletics. Andrea spent many years training for marathons & endurance trail races; while building a career in finance, she credits yoga to keeping her balanced & sane.  She obtained her 200 RYT with Fire Dragon Yoga’s April Martucci & her 500 RYT with Raghunath & Sondra Loring.  Over the years she has focused on working with athletes of all levels, completing various Yoga for Athletes training hours with Sage Rountree, Joga’s Jana Webb, & Yoga Medicine. Andrea has been a yoga instructor for the NY Jets, NJ Devils, Brooklyn Nets, NY Lizards, as well as local college & HS sports teams. Her favorite class to teach is her Yoga for Athletes class in Morristown! Her classes are athletic, playful but always accessible. She is most inspired by the students & community at PFY, & can’t imagine her life without yoga. “Keep learning, be curious, stay relevant & keep practicing”, is her personal motto.

Claudia Fejko, E-RYT 500, has been mentoring and training aspiring yoga instructors since 2015. She began her yoga journey by completing her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2011 under the guidance of Kelli Santucci. Claudia went on to teach at Younique Yoga and other studios before joining Powerflow Yoga in 2016. In 2017, she opened Flipped Dog Yoga in Jefferson, NJ where she completed her 300-hour YTT and further studies in philosophy.  Throughout her career, Claudia has facilitated both 200-hour and 300-hour YTT programs. Her passion for yoga is deeply rooted in her athletic background, where she sought to balance physical strength with mental clarity. Known for her keen ability to deliver clear, effective verbal cues, Claudia excels at guiding students through advanced asana transitions and sequencing with precision and mindfulness.
