power vinyasa yoga teacher training at nirvana

In partnership with Kula Yoga Grand Rapids, a curriculum established since 2016, we've brought this proven, comprehensive certification to the Michiana area. This is the very program that Chelsea, Nirvana’s owner and lead instructor, graduated from, a training close to her heart and now available to our community.

In three months you will grow in ways that extend far beyond your yoga mat, through self-reflection, finding your authentic voice, and a deeper sense of resilience and purpose.

This is not an online training. It's in-person, hands-on, and intentionally small. Capped at ten trainees, every person in the room gets mentorship, feedback, and real connection.

We meet twice a week at Nirvana Yoga in Granger, IN, on Thursday evenings and Sundays, from January through March 2027. The full schedule can be viewed here.

what's included

  • A Power Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training certification in partnership with Kula Yoga Grand Rapids, a curriculum that's been shaping confident, skilled teachers since 2016 and the exact training Chelsea completed herself.

  • Unlimited classes at Nirvana Yoga for the full duration of your training. Because the best way to become a better teacher is to keep showing up as a student. Yes, that's a $300+ value included.

  • Free access to both Nirvana Anywhere and Kula Yoga's virtual studio, with 500+ classes combined to deepen your practice at home between in-person sessions.

  • Hands-on practicum hours where you’ll build confidence and practice teach in person, in a supportive room of people who are all figuring it out together.

  • An intimate, small group setting so you receive one-on-one feedback and form connections far past graduation.

  • Continued mentorship from Chelsea after graduation, and the potential opportunity to join the Nirvana teaching team.

here's what our graduates say

  • “Chelsea’s knowledge, passion, and love for the practice shined through during the training only to empower me to become the instructor I am today, she instilled confidence in me and cheered me on through my journey. I have so much love and gratitude for Kula and Nirvana for developing such a wonderful teacher training program. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

    –Kara Y.

  • “Nirvana’s YTT program was everything I hoped it would be and more! We really went in depth on yoga philosophy, poses, and the foundations of what makes an effective teacher, and the hands on teaching practice made a huge difference. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone considering YTT with Chelsea.”

    –Kate B.

  • "Before I considered becoming an instructor, yoga was only supplemental to my fitness routine - something I did, not something I felt. But yoga teacher training deepened my relationship with my breath, my inner landscape, and the world around me. I learned to listen, soften, and show up with presence. Nirvana's YTT provided a space where I could explore what yoga truly meant to me, and that journey now fuels my desire to help others feel more connected, empowered, and alive in their own practice.”

    –Shar R.

  • “Nirvana’s yoga teacher training was everything I hoped for and more, it was interactive, inspiring, and full of community. I’m so grateful for the support and mentorship that continues even after training.”

    –Anna C.

  • “My YTT experience has given me much more than I expected! I have grown in ways both on and off the mat, I learned to trust myself more and found a deeper connection to who I am and what I want to share with others!”

    –Wynter B.

still have questions?
we've got answers.

Don't see your question below? Reach out at hello@nirvanayogahouse.com and Chelsea can help. We’d love to hear from you!

  • Absolutely! Many of our trainees enroll to deepen their own practice and understanding of yoga. Either way, this training will change the way you experience yoga.

  • Yes, the word “advanced” is subjective, anyways! What matters most is your passion for the practice and your willingness to learn. You don't have to have a perfect handstand. You just have to love yoga!

  • In-person training means hands-on adjustments, real-time feedback, face-to-face connection with your cohort, and a mentorship experience that simply can't be replicated through a screen.

  • Your Kula Yoga YTT Manual is included with your training. You’ll just need to pick up three additional required books, and we’ll also share some optional favorites if you’d like to explore the topics even further.

  • Outside of our scheduled session, you can expect to dedicate additional time to homework assignments and readings, independent practice teaching, and completing in-studio class observations.

  • The investment for this training is $2,800.

    Enroll by November 1, 2026 for a discounted rate of $2,500.

  • Yes. A deposit of $800 holds your spot and flexible payment plans are available.

  • Yes, however the 200-hour designation comes from Yoga Alliance. YA is a private membership organization, not a legally required certification body, and we made the intentional decision to step away from YA registration because it simply doesn't align with the values behind this curriculum.

    With that said, This program meets and exceeds what YA outlines for a 200-hour training. After graduating, you will be a certified yoga instructor, qualified to teach. Most studios hire based on how you teach, not which paid directory you're listed in.

    Check out Kula’s amazing blog about this topic titled Why We Said Goodbye to Yoga Alliance Long Ago.

    We encourage anyone researching trainings to look beyond the registration and ask what the program actually includes, what kind of support you'll receive, and see if you connect with who is leading it.

  • You'll walk away with your certification, and the skills and confidence to teach. Graduates of Nirvana's YTT receive a discount on unlimited membership, and may also have the opportunity to join our teaching team with continued mentorship from Chelsea.

meet your facilitator

Chelsea is the owner, lead instructor, and the heart behind Nirvana Yoga. She completed this exact Kula Yoga curriculum in 2018, so when she says it is life changing, she means it personally.

She grew up managing scoliosis and found in yoga something that made her body feel capable and strong in a way nothing else had. She was also once terrified of speaking in front of people. This training gave her a voice. It gave her the confidence to walk into a room, lead it, and share something she loves deeply with others, and that is exactly what she hopes it does for you.

She opened Nirvana Yoga in 2024 with a vision of creating a welcoming and lighthearted space where everyone can feel empowered to explore their practice and connect with others. This training is built on that same vision, and she is honored to guide you through it.

As your lead facilitator, Chelsea will be with you every step of the way. You can also look forward to guest appearances from other teachers and Nirvana team members who bring their own expertise and energy to the training.
