Led by Jillian Romano and Michelle Ramseth

This is more than a yoga teacher training.
It’s a journey inward—a remembering of who you truly are.
You will leave with the tools to teach yoga with skill, confidence, and authenticity.
But more importantly, you will leave with a deeper relationship to yourself.
This training is for those who are ready to look inward, to break patterns, to move through old stories.
Through movement, breath, stillness, and study—you’ll begin to understand not just the practice of yoga, but your place within it.
You will leave this experience with clarity, power, and understanding of life.
You’ll feel what it means to come home to your body, your voice, and your inner knowing.
What You’ll Learn
- How to teach yoga with clarity, alignment, and purpose
- How to sequence a class that serves body, breath, and energy
- The history and roots of yoga—so you can teach from understanding, not just memorization
- Breathwork and meditation practices that support the nervous system and emotional healing
- The philosophy behind the 8 limbs of yoga, the yamas and niyamas, and how they apply to modern life
- How to create a brave and inclusive space for others.
- How to lead from presence—not performance
The Experience
Phase One: Online Foundations
September 8–12 | Live on Zoom | 6:00 – 9:00 PM ET
We’ll begin by laying the groundwork—building connection with each other and with the teachings.

This phase will help you land in the training with intention and curiosity.

This is where the training becomes embodied—where your understanding of yoga deepens, and your relationship with yourself softens and strengthens.

Yoga didn’t just change my body—it completely shifted how I live my life.
Like a lot of folks, I started with quick yoga classes at the YMCA after my workouts. But something was happening—I started to feel better off the mat. I was calmer. More present. More me. I started to venture into studios, dove into yoga philosophy, and began learning how this practice could actually rewire the way I saw myself, my worth, and the world.
Turns out, yoga wasn’t just about stretching—it was about coming home.
Through this journey, I’ve let go of shame and guilt, found steadiness and joy, and discovered a version of myself I didn’t even know was possible. Suddenly, I was the person saying, “I can’t go out tonight—I’ve got yoga in the morning,” and, “I think I’ll meditate before bed.” And honestly? That felt amazing.
I’m a 500-hour certified teacher with my 200-hour in the Baptiste tradition and my 300-hour from Asheville Yoga Center, where I focused on yoga for physical therapy and functional movement. I’ve taught thousands of classes, coached hundreds of students, and poured my heart into making yoga accessible, honest, and real.
This training is about more than just learning how to teach. It’s about learning how to live fully—and I can’t wait to share it with you.
Michelle Ramseth
500 E-RYT | Certified Baptiste Yoga Educator | Certified Lightyear Leadership Coach
For nearly two decades, I’ve been teaching yoga as a pathway to freedom—freedom in the body, in the mind, and in life. With over 5,000 classes and 20 teacher trainings led, I bring a deep well of experience, presence, and heart to everything I do. I’m here for the bold, the curious, and those ready to awaken something real.
I started yoga in 2000 on a doctor’s recommendation, hoping to heal physically. What I found was vitality, possibility, and a feeling of aliveness I’d never known. Along the way, I discovered that when I challenge myself, I feel most alive—and when I meet myself exactly where I am, I feel free. That’s the heart of what I share in every class, every training, every conversation.
This training is rooted in love, adventure, and freedom. My teaching draws from 1,200 hours of Baptiste Yoga training, certification with Lightyear Leadership, and 18 years of teaching and managing at a beloved studio. But more than credentials, I bring a way of being that students describe as grounding, radiant, and real. They say things like, “I feel seen and loved,” “That was the best class ever,” and “I can be myself here.”
Expect physical challenge, deep empowerment, and big fun. Expect to sweat. Expect to be reminded of your own brilliance. I use movement, breath, and True North Alignment to help you uncover what matters most—and start living in alignment with it.
If you’re ready to inspire and be inspired, to discover your voice, and to lead from the truth of who you are, I’d be honored to train with you.
Awaken. Inspire. Empower. Sweat.
Come for wisdom. Leave with magic.
