Overview
This is not an ordinary training, but a time for intense practice and reflection. An opportunity to learn first-hand about the transformative power of yoga, to make real change happen—for yourself and others. Our training is not about memorizing information but about learning through experience. It’s about blending technical knowledge with radiant spirituality to transform your own life and the lives of others.
Teacher Training with Amazing Yoga is an incredible opportunity to learn how to facilitate transformation—physical, mental, and spiritual. To help people live healthier lives. As you deepen your own practice, you’ll hone the skills necessary to share your practice with others. You’ll learn to blend the right amount of technical knowledge, joy, power, and spirituality into your teaching. To create space for your students so they can tap into their own greatest potential. And you will leave the training feeling strong, open, peaceful, and calm.
Much will be asked of you—by yourself and your fellow teachers-in-training. All you need is an open mind and an adventurous spirit. As Margaret Mead said: Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.

*Much time will be devoted to practice teaching, with feedback from instructors and your fellow teachers-in-training.
You will leave the training radiating and filled with confidence and joy. This excitement will jump-start your teaching career so you can share it with others! Whether you aspire to teach, are an experienced teacher or simply want to deepen your practice, this training will empower you.
Amazing Yoga is a dynamic, physical practice inspired by Baptiste Power Vinyasa. One that will challenge you and leave you sweaty, rejuvenated, and calm. The Power comes from strengthening the body and quieting the mind. The Flow –or “vinyasa”— is the movement from one yoga posture to another, as well as a state of mind. In the flow you are completely focused, your body and mind devoted to a single purpose. In Power Flow Yoga, we cultivate awareness. We strive to find peace and make positive change.

Sean Conley, Co-Founder of Amazing Yoga
I began practicing power yoga after a brief 4 year career in the NFL which ended prematurely due to injuries caused from overuse and overtraining. I have been teaching in Pittsburgh since 2000. My initial trainings were with Baron Baptiste and since this time I have enjoyed infusing other influences and styles into my teaching.
We recently released the book “Amazing Yoga: A Practical Guide to Strength, Wellness, and Spirit.” I am a Featured Columnist for Elephant Journal where my writings typically involve: teacher tips/suggestions, the importance of eating locally and organically, and other topics.
One of my greatest passions is conducting teacher trainings. I have been facilitating these for about 10 years and love every minute it. It brings me great joy to see aspiring teachers take the plunge into the yoga teaching world and they keep inspired all the time. I am thankful for them spending and putting up with me during these trainings.
Karen Conley, Co-Founder of Amazing Yoga
Karen created Amazing Yoga to share the transforming powers of yoga that she has discovered. Through her compassion and commitment, it is her desire to inspire others to embark upon the yoga journey. She gets excited to share all the discoveries that her continuous practice has revealed.
Karen graduated from Fordham University where she studied English. She began teaching in several public school systems. She later began leading teenagers in outdoor education where they would spend an extremely challenging week in the provincial parks of Canada. She loved helping people see their potential. After taking a workshop with Baron Baptiste she realized this was the perfect blend. Witnessing students use the yoga practice as a place to face perceived challenges in a safe environment and move beyond where they were was life changing.
Karen has been assisting Baron Baptiste and leading workshops and teacher trainings for the past 11 years. She is a certified Baptiste teacher. As a new overly exhausted mother, she found this practice healing. She gets excited to share this practice with her students.
*All trainings also include at least one highly trained assistant

“Spending a week in Paradise with three inspirational instructors and a wonderful group of like-minded people was wonderful. The teacher training lives up to it’s name and was truly Amazing! The standard of teaching was so polished and the course was brilliantly put together. The resort was exquisite, the food divine! I left Mexico with confidence in my ability, a stronger body, new friends from across the globe and some precious memories!” Helen – London, UK – Maya Tulum Teacher Training 2008
“I feel deeply grateful for the opportunity to participate in the Amazing Yoga Teacher Training. Sean and Karen did a really great job of facilitating a safe and nurturing environment in which everyone was appreciated and cared for. Karen and Sean are great teachers, and I envy the students who live in the Pittsburgh area and can practice with them regularly. As an experienced yoga practitioner with a fairly strong practice, I found the classes very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this teacher training to anyone interested in sharing and growing their power yoga practice.” Anne – Chicago, IL – Costa Rica Teacher Training 2010
“It was one of the most enjoyable weeks of my life, inspiring,joyous, educational, vigorous and above all fun, wrapped up in a well thought out and planned week, a credit to Amazing Yoga. I could have gone to another Power Vinyasa Yoga training, but I feel it would have lacked the intimacy of our group, the balance was right, the space was right and I came away refreshed and invigorated. My enthusiasm has a new focus, I am in the process of building my own hot studio (ready March 1st), I will have my webpage completed this weekend and all being well I start teaching in 2 weeks at a local gym. I gained inspiration from the training in that I will have a donation box and give the money to charity, it is time for me to give something back, it feels good and right. My medical company gives me a living, my yoga a life. Thank you so much.” Alan – Glasgow, Scotland – Costa Rica Teacher Training 2010
“Amazing Yoga Teacher training was AMAZING!! In one week’s time; I feel confident to teach a power yoga class. Lee Anne, Sean and Karen were very informative and had a well planned curriculum. The whole teacher training package flowed wonderfully. It also helped me to overcome my fear of speaking in front of a group. This training will teach you proper form, class flow, and help you to develop the confidence to become a yoga teacher. I would highly recommend Amazing Yoga to anyone considering teaching or just improving their own yoga practice.” Jennifer – Pittsburgh, PA – Maya Tulum Teacher Training 2010
