When I asked people I respect and admire where I should take my YTT they all suggested Pranalife Yoga, all because of Asia. They were right: Asia knows her stuff. She s smart, confident, a leader in the field of movement. Asia didn t just want my money she cared about my why. She models strength, conviction, and dedication to the practice. She covered all the bases of yoga and teaching, while encouraging us to carve our own paths.
I was a bit nervous about how I'd do in a training. As a mum, I was very out of practice with making time for myself. The schedule - alternating weekends, the online component (which I could do at home), and the summer break - made it manageable. Also, the Pranalife Yoga community was so supportive, forward-thinking, and inspirational. I cannot say enough about the people I learned with in YTT. Wow. I d never experienced anything like it before.
I ve been teaching yoga for just six weeks: I feel prepared, excited, and I love it. I m proud to be Pranalife Yoga certified, and feel like I m living my dream. I ll forever be grateful for this training, where I found the courage to grow my life beyond my former limits. Sign up now.

A Yoga Teacher Training that will empower you, help you understand body mechanics and deepen your yoga practice. You will feel stronger, more stable, resilient and reflective in the way in which you move through life. Hands down one of the most impactful classes & YTT courses you could ask for!
I heard from a few grads that Pranalife YTT changed their life and I 100% agree. I thought it was because they became amazing teachers but it is so much more than that. It involves digging deep and analyzing why we do the things we do. While this training is no replacement for counselling, it has certainly helped me with my healing journey.
I've learned so much about yoga, myself, biomechanics, FRC and how to apply this knowledge on and off the mat. I thought that most of the work would be on the mat, but there's just as much to do off the mat.
Asia has an incredible wealth of knowledge and ability to translate/simplify complex information. She is so compassionate, genuine and motivating. She's honest/truthful in the kindest way. I'm SO grateful for the opportunity to learn from her and would highly recommend this training to anyone interested in yoga/movement/teaching.
When I first started Asia's training, I was apprehensive when we started having the conversations of "What is yoga?" "What is movement?" and Asia refused to teach us a sequence to memorize. I thought to myself, "Is this going to make me a good yoga teacher".
F. Yes. It did.
I got way more out of Pranalife Yoga Teacher training than I ever would have expected. As a YTT grad from this program, now teaching at two local studios, I can tell you I had MORE than enough to feel confident in my teaching abilities. I also left with a head full of knowledge, resources and connection to a larger community.
If you're looking for a training that: - Will encourage you to think outside the box on topics of yoga. - Will redefine what yoga is for you. - Will teach you about healthy and safer movement. - is AHEAD OF THE GAME! - Has a badass, knowledgeable and beyond supportive woman behind it all. - Will provide you with the opportunity to take your creativity and fly with it. - Will teach you about yourself and who you are both on and off the mat.
Life-changing. Asia Nelson is an amazing teacher and mentor. You want her in your life. Even if teaching yoga is the furthest thing from your mind, taking her training will challenge you. And change you. For the better.
Pranalife Yoga will change your life. Whether you just love top-notch yoga or you want to become a stand-out yoga teacher, this is, undoubtedly, your best choice. Pranalife Yoga Teacher Training is at the forefront of modern yoga, challenging existing paradigms and inspiring its trainees and grads to be active, passionate torchbearers of yoga's evolution.
The way I would describe Asia's teacher training program is this: A holistic and compassionate approach to yoga that your regular yoga class wish it could teach but doesn't (yet). She draws her experience from years in the field to offer a program (much more rounded and broader than a regular 200hr training program) that will give you goosebumps and make you want to live and breathe yoga beyond the poses. To me, this teacher program was more than a course in yoga, it's a freeing way of approaching life. The learning and enriching of the self never stops; even after you leave the mat after a weekend of Yoga.
Through Asia s training, I ve learnt so much. The most important thing is the tools to continue my yoga journey in a long run. I would suggest Asia s YTT program even if you just want to strengthen and deepen your own practice and don t really have a clear plan to pursue a career as a yoga teacher. I was amazed by how much research she has conducted on yoga and her broad reading interests. She will make you really thinking what yoga is to you. Her extensive knowledge, her creative thinking and her fun talking impressed me a lot. She ll always get back to you for your questions. Constructive feedback and workshops with lots of great resources throughout the program. Continued support within a trusted community. And a lot more
Loved this course. My daughter took it and I have several friends have too. Have wanted to do it for a long time, trust me, don't wait, you won't regret it! Comprehensive, inspiring, and building on current and future demands in the industry. You are ready, and when you complete this course you will be ready to teach! Enjoy!
Pranalife YTT teaches you more than just about yoga. It will have you thinking about mindful movements geared towards biomechanics, or in layman s terms - moving better towards life. Asia teaches you to trust in yourself and to come out of your comfort zone to discover or re-discover your capabilities both as a student in yoga and as a student in life. She pushes you to try, to play, to fail, and to love yourself without any limitations. Once you step into YTT there is no doubt a strong foundational community behind you cheering you on to be the best that you can be whether you decide to teach or not. And it will keep on growing! Join now and witness the change in your life on and off your mat.
Highly recommend!!! If you re considering yoga teacher training or want to become a trainer in functional movement, you ve arrived. Asia gives you what you need to feel confident about your skill and knowledge as a teacher. She won t simply hand you a formula to repeat. She lights the way to help you intelligently & continually discover your own style, so you can be of help to others.
An incredible life-changing experience. Asia provides you with the tools you need to transform your way of thinking about the world, both on and off the mat. If you re looking for a cutting-edge training (no cookie cutters here), this is the one for you. Pranalife will take you to the next level professionally and personally!
Whether you wanted to become a teacher or looking to deepen your yoga practice and self-knowledge, Pranalife YTT program will give you ALL the tools needed for growth, expansion and transformation. A program such as this one can lead you to powerful revelations and shifts in your mindset which could change the direction of your life. It provides a detailed and well-rounded knowledge basis for new teachers, but beyond that, it creates the perfect environment for self-discovery, healing and connection. This program brings you home. I learned SO MUCH ABOUT MYSELF, the way I relate to people, what is important to me, how I like to spend and manage my time and how much it means to me to take care of myself on a deep-soul level. Asia, creates an environment where individuality and growth are fostered with such love and non-judgement. This training is for everyone that breathe.
One of the biggest gifts this training gave me was the opportunity to practice being vulnerable in front of people. The support that I received from Asia, and the group, helped me to rebuild my confidence and reconnect to my creativity. Asia both challenged me and left room for me to tailor the program to my personal needs. I am grateful for the wisdom I gained while taking this program and the support she continues to offer her graduates long after they've completed the training.
I joined Pranalife YTT because I wanted to stop caring what people thought of me.
Somewhere around my 40th birthday I realized I was very unhappy and my world had started to fall apart. I hated the career I once loved and resented my life and how I had allowed myself to "be" in it instead of leading it. Everything I did was on everyone else's terms. I was always the giver, the helper and the one who made everyone else happy. I felt resentful, angry, used, unappreciated and had no idea how to turn it around. I knew I had to start living life for me but I had been living for others so long I had no idea who I really was or what I even wanted to do. Having 5 kids, working full time and still being "that Mom" who had the sleepovers, the parties, volunteers and never says "No" or gets tired was my thing. I was constantly giving of myself and it really filled me up. I felt like the best person when people validated me by saying how impressed they were by all I could do. Desperate to keep up the lifestyle that validated me, I found Yoga as a way to give myself some alone time in the morning and for a while this worked. The trouble was the more I dedicated myself to my practice, the more the lifestyle I was living made me unhappy. I had a great career, 5 loving children and an incredibly loving husband. What was wrong with me that I couldn't be happy? I idolized these Yogi's that appeared to be so "free". One day YTT came across my Facebook feed and I took a chance and looked into it. It seemed it would require me to leave my family for a month to train in some glorious location and I couldn't afford the money it would cost. It was never going to happen. Then I found Pranalife. It was local and reasonably priced. I made many excuses not to do it, but the truth is, it called to me for a reason I still don't really know. I committed to spend the money to look after myself. It was a small price to pay if it helped me sort things out. I was terrified. I am 41 years old, grey haired, not super fit, not super skinny, not blonde, not 20, not Instagram beautiful or flexible. Pranalife was welcoming and in that room I saw every age, personality, body type, and ability. I was just a regular Yogi and everyone was super welcoming. The ideas in my head of how a Yogi should look, were just that, in my head. Asia Nelson genuinely cares and wants you to succeed. She supports you the entire way while helping you build a community of unending support. Here I am almost done my training with new found confidence and more structure in my life. My kids are helping around the house, I left an abusive workplace and have rediscovered the love of my career in a new setting. My Husband and I have a better connection, we make time for ourselves now, we DATE, we make our relationship a priority. I no longer allow anyone to treat me anything but wonderful and I am able to manage guilt if I have to walk away from relationships. I say "no" more. I am a better human, I love my life, and I am happy. I don't even know if I originally wanted to teach yoga, I do know I was searching for answers. I got all of those answers and even some I didn't know I was searching for. I cannot say it enough. EVERYONE NEEDS to take this course. it WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
Asia Nelson and Pranalife is the best YTT experience you can have. There are very few programs that offer training using critical (i.e., questioning the usefulness of) approaches to yoga and movement in general. It may seem strange getting the proverbial rug pulled out from beneath you, but it will be you that invariably ends up lighting that old useless rug on fire and dancing furiously around it in self-liberated glory.
Asia is exceptionally knowledgeable, and is on the cutting edge of Yoga as an evolving practice. She is 100% committed to the success of her students and has created a life altering teacher training that knocks the socks off anything else I have taken in the past. LOVED this program!!!!
After extensive research on where to take my teacher training, I knew I had made the right decision with Asia after the first day of class. I feel very blessed to have attended the Pranalife program. It surpassed all my expectations.
The curriculum for the 200-hour yoga teacher training at Pranalife Yoga is put together thoughtfully and with attention to the whole practice as it suffuses each moment of our lives.
Asia always brings up to date research which is refreshing. I became a certified yoga teacher, but the training has profoundly supported me in all aspects of my life. I'm humbled to have been among such a singular cohort that shared so much joy with each other. We've made lifelong connections that will grow as beautifully as our teaching and our practice.
Why would you be considering YTT? Are you searching for a new beginning? Do you just plain love Yoga? Do you want to help people? Is there something you experienced in a class that has brought you to this place?... Wherever that may be, Wherever you are at this very moment in your life, YOU have come to the right place and YOU CAN DO THIS TOO!!!! I just recently graduated from Asia's YTT and my life has changed dramatically. This program is not your average training course. It will have you challenged mentally, emotionally and physically where you might meet yourself for the very first time. With over 20 years of experience in the industry, a heart of gold and contacts with some of the best training in the world Asia meets you exactly where you are and takes you to where you need to be. PRANALIFE YOGA TEACHER TRAINING!!! DO IT!!!
Pranalife YTT was life-changing!!! I had built a regular yoga practice and heard amazing things about Asia Nelson through the yoga community when I decided to sign-up. I didn't have any real plans of teaching yoga at the time but just wanted to deepen my practice and learn something new.
I developed way more knowledge than I ever expected, about my body and also my mind. I loved how the first half of the course focused on living yoga and taught us about the eight limbs of yoga, while also learning about body mechanics and anatomy. This knowledge has helped me so much in my everyday life and has made me better prepared to handle stress at work. The second half of the course focused more on teaching yoga, which I first thought wouldn't be useful for me since I wasn't even planning on teaching, but it turned out to be extremely valuable. The yoga teaching section pushed me out of my comfort zone and challenged me in the best ways. I tried new things and developed skills useful in all aspects of life such as improving public speaking and facilitation, building creativity, understanding body movement, and coaching others.
After completing this course I am now dipping my toes into actually teaching yoga - something I NEVER would have imagined just a year ago. I highly recommend signing up for Pranalife no matter what your intentions are. It will help you grow and develop both personally and professionally, and you'll have a ton of fun making new connections with the other students!
Pranalife Yoga Teacher Training is LEGENDARY. Asia Nelson is a phenomenal woman, teacher, and someone I am honoured to call friend. I have learned so much from her about yoga, movement, and life. Not only has she equipped me with the necessary knowledge and skills to be a confident new yoga instructor; she has created a space that allowed me to do the necessary emotional work to become the woman I am today. If you are looking to learn from someone who is constantly on the cutting edge of new research and teaches you about so much more than just the postures - then this is where you should be. Study with Asia and you will learn so much, the next skill you'll need is to know how to lasso a hurricane. (Once you take the training, you'll get it...)
