About 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training

The Metamorphosis

The Metamorphosis is a hybrid-model 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training that provides a blend of online lectures and asana with 8 days of intensive in-person training. You can expect to enter a student and leave a teacher, with an intensive curriculum focused on foundational principles of sequencing, cuing, anatomy, philosophy, and the craft of teaching an ancient practice in our modern world. 

This course curriculum is created by our lead teacher and founder, Kayla Nielsen (1,000 hour RYT) and Parham Neal-Pishko (RYT 500). It is registered with the Yoga Alliance.

Our mission is to elevate the quality of teaching across the world, in an effort to spread the practice of yoga in a safe, effective, and accessible way. This experience will provide 200 hours of intensive training, practice, and self-practice. We are accepting a maximum of only 16 students to ensure that everyone has ample practice teaching time, feedback, and assistance with all of our teachers. Please note: Parham will be teaching the in-person portion of this training.

This course is is registered with Yoga Alliance and will provide certified accredited hours upon completion. Please note: You will only receive the online modules, course handbook, and coursework once you pay for the YTT in full.

10% of the proceeds from this retreat will be donated to our Sponsorship Program. Not only will you be investing in a life-changing experience for yourself in a beautiful location, you will also help provide this same meaningful experience to those who might not otherwise be able to afford it.
