- This program is a 200-hour Vinyasa Teacher TrainingWhether you want to become a yoga teacher or deepen your practice, you will experience personal growth and hone in on your true purpose. This training is a mentally, physically and emotionally challenging process designed to enable serious students to become inspired teachers. You will practice asana, meditation, and pranayama to the point of proficiency and beyond. Your knowledge of yoga theory will deepen to the point that it becomes a core aspect of the fabric of your life -- and of everything you do and say as a yoga teacher. You will learn to teach classes that combine a consistent therapeutic vision with the inspired spontaneity that is the hallmark of Vinyasa Yoga. You will develop a thorough understanding of the elements of the therapeutic principles of yoga and be able to design a class or teach a pose in such a manner that your students will immediately embody those principles.
- From Rolf Gates, internationally renown yoga teacher and author:A quote from the composer, Claude Debussey, is 'Music is the space between the notes.' Vinyasa Yoga expresses that part of us that celebrates the space between the notes. A typical class will move from simple to complex poses, from standing poses and balancing poses, to back-bends, inversions, and hip openers. The teacher and students take this simple formula and make it their own day by day. No two classes are ever alike yet the intention behind the class is always the same. The genius of Vinyasa Yoga is not found in its approach to alignment or sequencing, but rather in the rhythm with which alignment and sequencing unfold. Anchored in the unseen aspects of an asana class, Vinyasa Yoga is uniquely accommodating to the evolution of a teacher; allowing her to bring all that she has learned and all that she is into her classroom. The result is a class that is at once consistent and inspired.

- This is a 200 hour Certification process. Transform NOLA is held to all of the rules of the Yoga Alliance as a Registered Yoga School (RYS). All of the sessions and assignments are to that purpose and are therefore required in order to successfully complete this program. What is asked of you is to be seriously committed to this process and to do your very best. Over and above that is to apply yourself to this process in the way you would want your students to apply themselves when under your tutelage. If you have physical limitations, this training is not off limits to you. I do request that you be able to stay with the asana sessions in their entirety even if some of that time is in child's pose or seated. Often, it is when we come up against our own limitations (frustrations, fears, etc.) that we learn best how to help someone with theirs. You will not be practicing while you teach, so physical limitations will not interfere with that.
- I understand that this is a big commitment, both of your money and of your time. Please don't let finances or other circumstances get in the way of your dreams. If you have any questions, please contact Mia.
