ABOUT THE
YOGA TEACHER
TRAINING EXPERIENCE

This is a soul-rocking, life changing opportunity to dig deep, connect, paint, play, laugh, cry and love. Understand samadhi (universal oneness) and the integration of nature and divinity by learning about local fauna and flora, and land conservation. Frolic in the forest, hike a magical peak, paddle majestic lakes, unleash your inner child. Go sky-diving, rock climbing, white water rafting and explore magnificent waterfalls on your days off. Our training is designed to help you connect with and nurture your inner child through play, adventure, movement and nature. We will explore ancient teachings with dance, painting, journaling, and dynamic yoga. We honor yoga as a path through which everyone can become their most divine selves. Embarking on this journey means a quest for self-knowledge, love, and freedom. We are committed to raising the collective consciousness through meditation, breath, movement and service.

THE INNERSEA YOGA ACADEMY DIFFERENCE

At InnerSea Yoga Academy, we believe that our natural state is one of peace and tranquility — that an ocean of bliss already lies within you. And yet, most of us experience turbulent, choppy waves due to our identification with the external world and a narrow perception of our Truth.

Our mission at InnerSea Yoga Academy is to provide the transformational tools you need to calm the waves of your mind so you can reclaim your innate potential and awaken to your Truth — the ocean of wisdom that is the depth of your soul.

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTORS

COURTNEY FLETCHER

FOUNDER, LEAD FACILITATOR
E-RYT 500, YACEP, REIKI MASTER

Hi, I’m Courtney, an ex-gymnast, spinally fused, 18-year yogi, Ashtangi, trained in India, with a gypSEA soul whose practice draws from hatha, kundalini and vinyasa. My heart-centered approach evokes an understanding of interconnectedness through a focus on self-love, nature and seva (service). The intention being for my students to discover the light within that ignites their path to inner peace, the connection which opens the heart to universal love.

After 10 years as a competitive gymnast, lower back surgery brought my athletic ability to a halt. Looking for a way to ease the pain and regain strength and flexibility, I discovered yoga and immediately fell in love with the practice, quickly learning its transformational power over the mind and path to freedom. Embarking on this journey meant a lifelong quest for self-knowledge, love, and humility. In 2010 I volunteered in India and earned my yoga teaching certification. My time in India inspired me to establish my own NGO, Kids’ Foundation for Uniting Nations which connects and inspires kids around the world to initiate positive change through service.

VANESSA VOTO

LEAD FACILITATOR
E-RYT 200, YACEP

I’m Vanessa, former dancer with a love for the art of movement. Yoga has gifted me the opportunity to connect, with the body, of course, but most importantly to my mind & spirit.

A practitioner for 10 years, a teacher since 2019, a student forever.

Teaching has allowed me to share how yoga has deeply changed my life. As your guide for practice, my goal is to bring you to your own conclusions & truth. To allow your external & physical movement to move the internal & subtle. In class you’ll find fluid movement & thoughtful sequencing focused heavily on transitions & strength. Hope to see you on your mat! Namaste

MADISON RIPLEY

FACILITATOR
RYT 500, YIN YOGA INSTRUCTOR, CERTIFIED LIFE COACH

This first time I stepped on a yoga mat was the first time I pulled at a string that seems to be endlessly unraveling. Here I am, years later, pulling and unraveling, pulling and unraveling – only to remember that the work never really ends. This practice has given me my power back – the power of being aware enough to learn in every moment. I’ve learned that the only action between wanting to change and change is choice, that the ability to feel is a gift, & that this moment, right here, has all I need to “know”.

My teaching opens up the door for you to experiment with what you’ve got going on right here. I want to teach you to listen + be heard, to see + feel. Feel home in your body, and most certainly, sexy in your skin.

JENNIFER RIVERA

FACILITATOR
RYT 500

Yoga has been such a wonderful part of my life for over 20 years now, and this practice has helped me grow stronger, more flexible and fearless, both on and off the mat. Yoga inspires me to live each moment more mindfully.

I completed my 200 hour training with Sacred Hot Yoga Method and some advanced training in trauma sensitive yoga, as well as several types of Reiki, Qi Gong, Tai Chi, and other healing modalities. I also am a 300 hour trauma based RYT through Soulwork.

I will always be a student of the practice and am deeply grateful for the loving wisdom my teachers have shared with me.

In my classes, I love to combine creative sequencing, a spirit of healing and a dose of inspiration to help all levels of practitioners deepen their practice. I seek to help others heal and love themselves more by nurturing body, mind and spirit with yoga, and my hope is that you step off the mat feeling refreshed, loved and balanced.
