“This program was comprehensive, thoughtful, thought provoking and fun. Mia presents the material in multiple formats throughout the [training] which allows the student to process and learn in their own way. ”
TraininG & Certifications
Traditionally formatted weekend training usually begins in September and graduation is in April. Classes meet one weekend per month – Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday. At this time, classes are a hybrid of Zoom meetings and in-person learning. An optional Zoom yoga class is offered once a week as well.
Sessions are Friday evening from 6 to 9pm; Saturday from 10am to 8pm; and Sunday from 9am to 4pm. Please let Mia know if a weekday program would fit your lifestyle better. The schedule would be one week per month from September until April – Monday through Thursday from 10am to 2pm.
This program involves a lot of outer and inner work! You will not only learn how to lead people in a physical yoga class but also how to live your yoga day-to-day.
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) and a certain amount of face-to-face instruction is required. All of the sessions and assignments are to that purpose and are therefore required in order to successfully complete this program. if you miss an entire weekend due to illness or an unavoidable obligation, then you can make up that session with other people who missed or schedule a make-up session at an additional cost. What we are asking of you is that you are seriously committed to this process and that you do your very best. Over and above that, is that you 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. We 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.
We don’t want this financial obligation to come in the way of your dreams – there is a payment plan and we are willing to work with your situation.

Please note that Mia is on sabbatical and will return to leading teacher trainings in 2024.
