Yoga Alliance Approved!
​​​
Are just drawn to learn the deeper layers of yoga? Do you feel a shift in your life? Wanting to take a personal journey? Are you seeking to be trained to effectively teach yoga the others?
​
Transform Yoga Training is not just a course—it's a call inward. Beyond learning asanas and sequences, this journey is about peeling back the layers of who we think we are to rediscover the quiet essence within. Through the ancient science of yoga, we are invited into a sacred space of self-inquiry, healing, and transformation.
Each training session is crafted to move through the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of yoga. From alignment to awareness, discipline to devotion, the training serves as a mirror—reflecting not just how we move on the mat, but how we move through life.
Transform is both rigorous and nurturing, offering tools from philosophy, anatomy, pranayama, and meditation that help uncover deeper patterns, beliefs, and potential. It asks us to meet ourselves where we are, with honesty and compassion, and to explore what lies beyond our comfort zones.
This is not just teacher training. This is a journey into the heart of yoga—a process of remembering, releasing, and reconnecting with our truest self.
This training program is designed for anyone who is looking to deepen their personal journey or enhance their knowledge of yoga to share with others.
​
The focus on the teachings of Hatha Yoga with an emphasis on alignment and teaching to all levels and abilities. At Transform we believe that yoga is not a one class fits all practice. Trainees will learn how to teach an Align & Flow yoga sequence with an understanding of how to safely and effectively guide to all levels and abilities while building confidence to teach using their unique authentic voice. The Align & Flow sequence will lay a foundation to a yoga practice allowing trainees to develop it further by adding to it, powering it up for a stronger practice, pumping the breaks for a more gentle practice and tailor it to any population they wish to share with. Trainees will be encouraged to delve deep into who they are, develop the essence of their true voice, explore how they wish to bring yoga to the community and awaken the deeper purpose of their existence and role in this lifetime! In essence, a deep discovery of “Who are you, what do you want and why are you here”?

TESTIMONIALS!

"Choosing to take my 200-hour YTT program at Transform was one of the best decisions I have made to date. Not only did Amy prepare an excellent curriculum that helped us learn, move, practice and retain so much wonderful information; she created a safe place for us to dig deep and discover ourselves. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to teach or just drawn to learning more about the foundations of yoga. You will not regret a single moment." - Ashley

"The yoga teacher training program at Transform at Amy Bourque Yoga was an intense, fulfilling and life changing experience for me. I have begun to see a clear path toward my true purpose in life and while I am acutely aware that I have only just begun, and have so much more to learn, this training has given me an excellent foundation that will allow me to begin teaching yoga in an ethical, safe, aware and compassionate manner. The curriculum was thoughtfully developed, varied and designed to provide us with a broad base layer of exposure to the vast world of yoga. Amy provided a diverse training experience and secured excellent, knowledgable guest speakers who helped broaden that exposure. Our homework assignments, self-exploration exercises, classroom lessons and discussions not only were thought provoking and enlightening, but also seamlessly tied the ethical, spiritual and service aspects of yoga to the practical aspects of teaching yoga to all levels and every body. I loved this whole experience!" -- Catherine
"Transform is a sacred space with an incredible community. Between the quality of instructors, variety of classes offered, workshops, and pop up classes, there is something for everyone. Teachers make it a point to ensure classes are accessible and inclusive to all. I highly recommend Transform for yoga and healing!" - Melissa
"This YTT training was the most amazing experience with personal growth a sense of community. This journey has been extraordinary and I'm so glad I signed up for it. Looking forward to seeing what the further brings.: -- Andrea
"Attending transform 200 hour yoga teacher training with Amy was such a great experience. Amy shared so much knowledge of her own, and also had many guest teachers come in and share. I loved learning the history of yoga, along with the postures, different types of breath work, and so much more pertaining to the eight limbs of yoga. Focus was on alignment and form and feel not what the asana looks like. Adaptions and modifications were given so the practice was accessible to every body and skill level. I felt safe and supported in the space. This training not only transformed my yoga practice and my skills as a yoga teacher but it was personally such a transformative experience as well. So thankful for this training and looking forward to more. " -- Sara

"Taking the yoga teacher training program with Amy at Transform is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. A few months prior to Amy announcing her program, I started to feel a pull towards teaching and had been looking into different programs and courses to learn how to teach and to deepen my personal practice. I was so excited when Amy shared the news about her training and knew it was a sign that this was the one! Although I knew I wanted to take the teacher training, I was initially a bit hesitant because I had a few injuries and limitations that I was worried would limit my ability to fully participate. Amy assured me that teaching is not only about the poses, and no limitation would get in the way of me practicing or teaching. Not only was she right, but I feel my injury helped me learn the importance of offering options and modifications and teaching in a way that is inclusive to all abilities. This training has also helped me fine tune my personal practice in a supportive way which allows me to fully let go and experience all the amazing benefits that yoga offers. I also loved that we touched on so many other subjects that tie in with yoga; learning about anatomy, sutras, breath work, modifications, and everything in between. I love how the program covered so much, allowing me to take what interests me and explore it more. It’s still surreal to me that I am a yoga teacher. I literally started teaching classes the day after graduation! This program not only taught me how to teach a yoga class with confidence, but it has connected me to the truest part of myself. I am so grateful that I took this training and for Amy for creating it. She truly is an amazing person and teacher and I am so appreciative of the experience I had with her and the beautiful women in my class. "

I am so glad I signed up for this training!"

The Awaken Your Purpose 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Transform at Amy Bourque Yoga is truly an extension of the supportive Transform community. The training encompasses all aspects of yoga and encourages students to explore not only the physical practice of yoga, but the deeper meanings of how yoga is a life practice. Amy Bourque is a thoughtful, knowledgeable and supportive teacher and guide. She acknowledges everyone's strengths and is available and approachable in all areas of the training. The anatomy study is very thorough and provides actionable knowledge that is easily transferable to both a personal practice and teaching experience. The ability to complete the anatomy modules through an online platform is also very beneficial. I would recommend this training for anyone, whether they want to teach yoga or expand their knowledge. This is a life changing experience and I am so thankful that I am part of the Transform at Amy Bourque Yoga community.

The program was so much more than expected -the impact is truly transformational and set me on a path for future and continued curiosity and growth. Absolutely loved it!
--Michele
​
I liked the one day/three days a month class structure along with on-line study. Plenty of time to get assignments done. Amy was always available to consult and explain. We covered a lot of material and it was explained well. She had us teaching in the first month. We had many professional guest speakers/practioners who offered information on various types of yoga modalities. I highly recommend Transform at Amy Bourque Yoga as both a teacher trainer and as a studio for practice.
-- Amy
​
An amazing experience. The teacher was extremely informative, supportive and well educated.

The Awaken Your Purpose 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Transform at Amy
Bourque Yoga is nothing short of exceptional. This course was very well- structured
and comprehensive, covering everything from anatomy, yoga philosophy, to
sequencing in a way which were practical and enriching. Guest speakers were also
included in the curriculum which enhanced the program contents. I also appreciated
the emphasis on self- reflection and personal growth, which not only helped me to
develop yoga teaching skills but also to deepen my own practice. More than just the
physical benefits, this training gave me clarity and guidance to a healthier, more
mindful life path. This training will equip anyone with the knowledge, confidence and
tools to guide and support others in their own yoga journeys whether they decide to
teach or not. This class has strengthened my belief that yoga is not just about
movement- it is a practice of healing, connection and self-discovery. I am filled with
extreme gratitude to have access and the ability to lean from such a knowledgeable,
compassionate, inspirational and supportive instructor such as Amy, who is always
available for assistance and who provides insightful guidance along the way. She
creates a learning environment where each student felt safe sharing their experiences
in their Every class was infused with authenticity and depth, making this journey
truly life- changing. I cannot recommend this training enough for anyone looking to
deepen their practice or to step into teaching with a strong foundation!
