Self-Transformation
Pilot Program
Yoga Alliance has recently given permission for 200 YTT School to teach 100% of their content online. This is a special invitation for those seeking a 200 certification to receive a full certified training from the comfort of your own home.
This OMazing training will be offered for an unbelievable price of only $500 for pilot participants. This will NOT be a live training, although we will have optional live online meetings.
Our pilot class size will be limited to 10-15 participants as we launch in mid-June. Participants will have life-time access to this training and the ability to review the content indefinitely. As the program grows and develops, new content will be added.
Have you always wanted to take a Yoga teacher training but weren't able to find the time to commit to a six week or six month training, let alone a year-long training? Do you enjoy learning in your own home and at your own pace? Would you benefit from having lifetime access to this training. Then this is the training for you!
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity while Yoga Alliance is allowing 200 YTT online trainings through September.
Sound too good to be true? We are exploring this online arena as well and want to provide our participants with the best content and online presence that we can offer. We know that times are financially, emotionally, and mentally draining right now for most of you out there. This is our gift to you for being part of this Peaceful Pilot Tribe.
Scroll down to see what the PWY 200 YTT/STP has to offer. You will receive the same content as the in-person training and more! For a limited time we are offering a Restorative Yoga and an Ayurveda deeper dive for our online participants.

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?
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.
There's so much more to say, but I will let your heart speak to you now. 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.

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!
