What we’re about
Welcome to Transformational Yoga!
We offer a variety of classes both in-person and online - Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin, Kundalini, and Meditation...
Therapeutic treatments, including Massage, Reiki, Crystal Healing, and Yoga Therapy using Ayurveda also available!
The idea for Transformational Yoga started from a journey to the East and the evolution of a student to teacher to trainer. Inspired by a trip to India to train in advanced Yoga and Meditation teachings, Gillian returned to Paris determined to create a Yoga teacher training that offers a traditional practice with a modern twist.
Yoga is constantly transforming to adapt to the needs of the practitioner. New styles have developed out of ancient teachings and this has allowed Yoga to continue to thrive. Transformational Yoga is based on the belief that a training can offer the best of both traditional and modern that will prepare a new teacher to offer more than one style and adapt to the modern student's needs. The training is adapted to allow for exploration, discovery, and strong personal development, both physically and mentally.
Starting with group classes, Transformational Yoga has expanded to workshops, retreats and yoga teacher trainings! You can find all of the info within the pages of this website.
