This is the fifth training at Nirvana Yoga! We are excited and inspired by all of our graduates. Our teachers are actively involved in the yoga community and have received some of the best teaching offers out of training that I have ever seen!

The director of training is Leigh Anne Neal.
She will be assisted in the training by the amazing and talented Amanda McGee.
Leigh Anne is certified through Yoga Alliance as an E-RYT 500.
She is a graduate of Georgia State University with a degree in Psychology. She is also a writer and a musician, currently teaching piano and clarinet lessons in the community. As a student, she has studied with experienced teachers like Sean Tebor, Seane Corn, Stephanie Keech and Kristin Chirhart. Her focus as a yogi is to teach from a place of unbounded knowledge. This means to incorporate many forms and styles in class to give the student what they really need, which may not fit into one “type” of yoga. Leigh Anne is a passionate yogini and teaches always from the depth of her heart. Her yoga practice is seven years old and growing deeper each day!

The training course includes unlimited classes at the studio.
You are required to attend 40 classes during the training, but you can attend many more!
There will be homework for each weekend, accompanied by a reading assignment and a home practice.
