YiA Yoga teacher training transformation
The greatest spark for transformation starts with complete acceptance as you are. All the beauty of your luminous light and the shadows it casts. It is stepping into the awareness that these two energies work together united in perfect harmony. This acceptance catapults you into the present moment of sweet surrender and unconditional love.
It is from this space of having your hearts and eyes wide open that you enter into deep awareness and you realize that you are not broken. You realize that all the answers you seek already exist within and always have. You come to know that inside each and every one of you lies an unwavering joy and peace that you simply must choose to connect to, to remember.
Do you have the courage to take off the mask of perfection and veil of unawareness and show up as you are? To see the beauty of it all? To feel the freedom, the acceptance, the light? When you are real, is when you truly heal. And when you do this, you empower others around you to do the same.
You empower universal healing and pure surrender. You drop your weights and weapons and expose your hearts to one another, your most powerful weapon. You unite as one, perfectly imperfect tribe. This is the heart and essence of the practice of yoga.
Instead of seeking out the differences in one another, you start to see and feel that you are kindred in spirit. There are no differences between you, you are the same. All here in the name of remembering that each one of your unique designs was made in the name of love, in perfect energy and harmony. It is this energy you seek to return to.
To break down the layers of brick and mortar that you have built to protect your heart, the walls that are dimming your light. The burst of energy that ignited your spirit at the moment of conception created fireworks all around you. These are the lights of the universal love we all desire to connect back to.
Unite with YiA to accomplish the most valuable work you can do in this lifetime, to come home embodied in your highest self and to surrender into the sweet embrace your innate states of unconditional love, well being, bliss, clarity, connection, awareness, and trust. To tune your systems back to the places where you feel most aligned, most alive, most in love.
During this transformation, YiA will remind you of the immense power that resides in the awareness of your heart center and united as a sacred tribe and family, you will empower one another to fully step into the potential of your being. You will delve deeper into taking on the responsibility of being the author and creator of your own life.
You will experience throughout your entire system what it feels like to be in full alignment with the bright light inside of you. You will re-write parts of your story that are not serving you. You will surrender deeply into the immensely transformational power of now, and create a clear and aligned vision for the abundant life that calls to you everyday.
You unite together in tribe to soothe the battle wounds of life to then reconnect to the space of wholeness that is within to create a magical vision for the future. To feel the profound intelligence of the human energetic design that holds all the answers you seek. To be held so deeply in a space of love, that you feel fully empowered to expose all aspects of your being in vulnerability, even the pieces of yourselves you have been told are immoral, or incorrect.
Through this life-changing journey, you come to experience the oneness that is within everything and start to live your life from that empowered space of connection.
You cannot change your past, but you can change how you tell your story. You can arrive in the present moment seated in the sweet embrace of surrender and trust and move into your future with unwavering clarity of your unique path and purpose that you are being called to and guided to every day, every moment.
YiA invites you to step into you. All of you. All of your potential. All of your strengths and all of your weaknesses. To step into your purpose and calling. To return home to bliss, love, and awareness.
The experience
Personal growth
YiA Yoga will inspire you to “be the change you wish to see in this world.” During the training, you will have the opportunity to reflect and connect with your highest self, the part of you that knows the sky is the limit, the part of you that sees the beauty within yourself and others, the part of you that makes your dreams, hopes, and visions a reality.
Spiritual connection
This training is designed to be suitable for people of all religious and spiritual backgrounds. YiA Yoga fully respects and honors individual belief systems. The aim is not to “convert” you into anything. It is rather to inspire you to be the best version of yourself.
If you believe in a higher power, this training will connect you more to your own higher power and your highest self. Together, you will practice the power of love and gratitude, which crosses all cultures, religions, and philosophies.
Multi-style Yoga
The foundation style of yoga you will learn is Vinyasa, but from there you can master your own unique style. This training has blessed this world with a variety of yoga teachers including: Yin, Power, Gentle, Vinyasa, Restorative, Chair, AcroYoga and many more. You as a teacher are able to express your creativity through practice and personalize your class to express who you are and what you represent.
During the training, you will also expand your knowledge of the various forms of yoga by participating in a variety of different styles of classes.
Yoga anatomy and physiology
You will explore the relationship between yoga anatomy and physiology that will support you in guiding your students in a safe and effective manner and will empower you to create well-rounded and balanced classes using peak pose sequencing.
There will be an inside look on a collection of the most important foundational poses that together comprise the full range of the body’s expression to give you a better understanding of the movements involved using full-color, detailed anatomical illustrations.
Yoga adjustments
YiA Yoga believes that one key to being an exceptional yoga teacher is being able to support your students in their practice by taking their postures to their full expression safely.
There will be a hands-on approach to teaching you, not only the anatomy of the posture but how to get them into proper alignment using effective adjustment techniques. You will also develop clear and concise communication skills, learn to fully observe your students in their practice, and communicate what they need to hear in order to deepen their own experience.
Lastly, you will discover the beauty and power of body awareness through various meditations, pranayama, and exercises.
Build on your strengths as a teacher
Your ability to create change within yourself and in the world depends upon your courage, commitment, authenticity, and connection. By exploring your strengths and deeply connecting to your highest self, you will empower others to do the same. There is no greater gift you can give than allowing your light to shine as brightly as possible, as it inspires others to do the same.
Each yoga teacher has something exceptional to offer their students. Together, you will tap into examining your personal strengths and using them as a foundation for developing your individual teaching styles allowing you to fully experience the joy, art, and science of being a yoga teacher.
Meditation
The founder and director of YiA Yoga, Katherine Sophia, credits much of her focus and success - both worldly and in the spiritual realms - to the practice of meditation and visualization using the law of attraction as a strong foundation.
During this training, you will have the opportunity to dive into this magnificent, life-impacting, powerful practice with her, and learn how you can incorporate meditation and visualization into your own life assisting you in fulfilling your dreams and desires. As you develop and expand your personal meditation practice, you will be inspired to guide your students to theirs.
Yoga philosophy
The practice of yoga goes back thousands of years but has only exploded across the world just recently. You will look into the most significant historical yogic texts, giving you a deeper understanding of the foundation of yoga and flow through time to bring you to the present moment of what it means to be a yogi in the 21st century.

Onsite training
YiA Yoga has put a great deal of time and energy into traveling the world and selecting the best energetic bodies or chakras of Mother Earth to host their transformational training and the vibrant island of Bali is most definitely one of them. The energy, culture, resources, and beauty Mother Bali possesses are indescribable, only experiential.
The location of your training is deep in the mountainous center of Bali where a yogi heaven, the picturesque Balinese town of Ubud, lies. It is surrounded by sun-kissed green rolling hills of rice paddies, drizzled with hanging banyan trees, radiant steep ravines, and refreshing flowing rivers.
It is filled with history, and vibrant energy, and is known as the spiritual as well as the cultural center of Bali. As you walk around the streets, you will be in awe of the Balinese architecture and design including sculptures of various deities and holy temples that will guide you along the way.
Everywhere you look, there are offerings being placed to send blessings to the people, homes, and businesses. You too will feel this energy being blessed upon you from the inside out, filling the air with exquisite aromas of flowers and incense to further lure you into her energy, her presence, her aura. On top of all that, it hosts some of the most inspirational yoga and breathwork teachers YiA Yoga has ever had the honor to work with.
Along with the spiritual beauty Ubud has to offer, it is also a culinary delight as it is home to a plethora of healthy food restaurants featuring some of the best vegetarian, vegan, and raw food options out there. Ubud has long been known as a mystical place that is rich in healing powers.
It was originally founded as a great source of medicinal herbs and plants. People traveled from all over Indonesia to experience the healing powers Ubud holds. Ubud gets its name from the Balinese word "ubad" which translates as medicine. Ubud, since that time, has continued to hold that power and has grown into a full-blown health and wellness mecca, offering services and experiences that go far beyond.
Because Ubud is historically known as a place of healing (both the land and its inhabitants) and now known as the famous final destination of the movie "Eat, Pray, Love", it has truly transformed into the perfect environment to fully support a healthy lifestyle filled with holistic wellness and plenty of love to go around. The creativity of possibilities in Ubud are endless. If you have heard of it (or more likely never dreamed of it), Ubud has it.
