The Eight Limbs of Yoga
Peaceful World Yoga's 200 - Hour Yoga Teacher Training program draws from traditional yoga theory and modern knowledge of the body and mind to cover the complete scope of the eight limbs of yoga. Our exceptional, diverse, and dedicated teaching team share decades of experience to help you deepen your personal practice as well as develop teaching skills. Join us for a unique experience and become a capable, confident, and effective human being and/or yoga teacher. This training is beneficial for everyone and not just for those who want to become yoga teachers. Peaceful World Yoga Teacher Training will change your life in ways you can't even begin to imagine. Step on the path to begin your journey.
Patanjali's Yoga Sutra
Peaceful World Yoga 200 - Hour Yoga Teacher Training is steeped in Patanjali's Yoga Sutra. In Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, the eightfold path is called Ashtanga, which literally means "eight limbs" (ashta=eight, anga=limb). These eight steps basically act as guidelines on how to live a meaningful and purposeful life. They serve as a prescription for moral and ethical conduct and self-discipline; they direct attention toward one's health; and they help us to acknowledge the spiritual aspects of our nature. Teachers taking PWY teacher training will receive the teachings and guidance of the Yoga Sutra as a step-by-step path to living life as a human being in our current living conditions of the 21st century. Students will be guided from a variety of perspectives and lineages that all point back to the same lessons that come straight from the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali.
Yoga and Ayurveda
PWY 200 - Hour YTT also focuses on Yoga and Ayurveda, incorporating a variety of Ayurveda practices. Yoga and Ayurveda together form a complete approach for optimal health, vitality and higher awareness and reveals to us the secret powers of the body, breath, senses, mind and chakras. More importantly, Ayurveda and Yoga unfold self-transformation methods.
Ayurveda
Some of the practices that will be covered:
Diet as far as healthy living, not as weight loss
Herbs to use in cooking
Asana and Pranayama as a tool and a practice
Mantra
Latent impressions
Meditation
Healing and expanding consciousness
The healing of the mind is often overlooked, but PWY training will use many methods to create wholeness in the body and mind, from the subconscious to the super-conscious.

Questions to Ask Yourself if You are Ready for a Self-Transformation Program:
Do you wake up in the morning and think about how it would feel to be doing what you love each and every day? Or how it would feel to be excited to hop out of bed and go to "work?" Would you enjoy being around like-minded people and create connections and share experiences on a deeper level? How would you feel if you were part of a "Tribe" of peaceful and compassionate people who enjoy sharing their time and talents with one another in a supportive and nurturing environment?
Loved?
Wouldn't that feeling of strength, courage and empowerment feel like a peaceful way to enter into 2019? Learning how to embody your entire being through the practice of asana (yoga poses) and allowing that inner light within to shine through some of the "cracks" that life has left within each of us. You're not alone. We all want to feel whole and at peace. Allow yourself to be gently guided through this incredible life journey by making a commitment to the transformation of YOU. How would you feel if you took a leap?
Scared?
Change IS scary and big, and huge and it sometimes seems dark and sticky and rough. Allowing yourself to deepen the connection with community of friends, also allows your own inner landscape, your true self to come wake up and come alive! Knowing your true self can be a wonderful change. There's a bigger YOU inside of the little you that has interests, and loves and likes and passions, and is searching for that special little niche that makes your heart feel light and your mind one pointed and focused. Thoughts?
Hmmmm...?
During the entire Self-Transformation Program and beyond, our mentors, teachers and fellow students are a Tribe of Human Beings that support your developing and ongoing growth and Self-Transformation. Mentors are available during each step of this life-changing journey; to love, to help you balance and to embrace you during all the openings you will have. And there will be many openings...I promise! The journey isn't always easy and these little shifts will radically change your life. As my teacher always says, "True change comes from tapas, the willpower, motivation, determination, AND willingness to move past the resistance and allow transformation to happen." -Irene Landers
As a participant and Tribe member in the Self-Transformation process, you will have an opportunity to achieve all of these qualities and beyond. In addition, if you would like to also become a yoga teacher, you will be eligible to receive a
200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Certification through Yoga Alliance. The Peaceful World Yoga Self-Transformation Program provides the time and space for you to develop your own, personal Yoga (all 8 Limbs) practice and to be able to teach from that space of love and compassion. The space within.
Peaceful World Yoga also has a 300-Hour Advanced Self-Transformation Program for those of you who would like to continue the journey.
Whatcha Thinkin'?
There's so much more to say, but I will let your heart speak to younow. If you listen carefully, you'll hear the whispers. The whispers of your heart. Perhaps 2019 is the year of You and Your Self-Transformation to Peace.
Please contact me (Melissa) with any questions and I'd love to chat with you.

Jeremy Wolf
Jeremy will be teaching the Yoga Nidra and some of the Asana portions of the training

Meditation was his doorway into yoga and he began his formal study in 1998. In 2006 he received his 200hr teaching certification in Nasik, India in Classical Yoga and in 2013 his 300hr certification with Rod Stryker's school of ParaYoga.

Irene Landers
Irene will be teaching a portion of the philosophy for this training. Irene will also be teaching the senior chair yoga adaptations portion of the training. Irene’s classes are fun, motivating, have great energy and will leave you awakened to your own body and mind connection. She invokes practical wisdom with her deep understanding of the wisdom of Yoga. She is a Yoga Alliance registered Yoga instructor with a conscious study of Senior Yoga, Silver Sneaker Yoga and Gentle Yoga and Meditation. Meditation was her doorway into yoga. She began her formal study of meditation in the modality of Transcendental Meditation in 1976. She continues studying all manners of meditation and offers those numerous modalities in her meditation courses. Foremost is her dedication to serve students in a way that supports the experience of gentle transformation from stress held within the body and mind to deep sense of well-being and insight. Her vast experience of life and teaching make her methods potently effective to people of all backgrounds. 
Amanda Oberbroeckling
Amanda will be teaching hands-on Anatomy and Asana sequencing and cueing Even before birth, Amanda was introduced to yoga as her mother, Melissa, Peaceful World Yoga founder, practiced asana throughout her entire pregnancy. As a child, Amanda was drawn to dance as a form of expression and exercise, and she trained as a dancer until she was eighteen. It was during this time that Amanda developed her interest in anatomy and physiology, and she began to learn how to tune into her own body, using this information to strengthen her dancing and avoid injury. Amanda’s yoga practice began to grow deeper, moving beyond physical practice, as she pursued her college degree. Learning to manage and overcome the stresses of a very challenging engineering program allowed her to realize the power of a well-rounded Yoga practice, and she has been integrating Yoga into her everyday life ever since! Amanda has been involved with Peaceful World Yoga from the beginning, helping in any way she could to promote and support her mother’s vision of building an inclusive Yoga community. 
Stephanie Cochrum
Stephanie will be teaching the Chakra System and Chakra Healing Modalities Stephanie is a mother to two children, Trevor and Kayla and enjoys spending time with them out in nature and just being a mom to these two little humans. Stephanie loves connections she can make when she is out in nature and feels more grounded when she’s outside and enjoying the simpleness of placing her bare feet onto the grassy earth and taking a moment to reflect with gratitude on her life and all that she has been given. Stephanie loves camping every summer and extends her trips into the fall and has a desire to explore some winter camping in the coming season. She enjoys camping with her children and also loves going alone so that she can reflect on her life, reground with no electronics present, and reconnect to this OMazing world that she feels so blessed to live on. Stephanie has recently received her 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training through Peaceful World Yoga. During her magical journal, as she likes to say, the Chakras are what spoke to her the most. As she explores the chakras more each day, she’s learning the powerful benefits of implementing chakra knowledge and practices into her daily life. Stephanie is currently enrolled in the 300 Hour Self-Transformation Program and is stepping into her learning and practice deeper. Stephanie is honored to be the Chakra instructor for Peaceful World Yoga and is humbled to begin educating others along their journey through Yoga. Stephanie is excited to meet each and every single one of YOU in her workshops and training.

Brittany will be teaching the Yoga Sutra and Asana Brittany Belisle has been practicing yoga since the age of 18.
