The Journey That Changes Everything
Embodied Yoga Teacher Training.
For humans who want to go deeper into themselves, understand the body in a whole new way, and learn how to create meaningful change through yoga, breath, and somatic practice—both for themselves and for the people they feel called to serve.
Twenty-five years of holding space for students who show up for themselves, align with greater possibility, and uplift the world around them.
Maybe you’re here because you know there is more.
More to yoga.
More to your own healing.
More to who you are.
You may already love yoga, or simply feel called to go deeper—to understand yourself beyond the patterns, stories, and ways of being that no longer quite fit.
You know that real change begins within. Through the body. Through deep healing and integration. And you’re ready to make that shift.
You’re ready to listen more deeply to your body, trust your inner knowing, and discover what becomes possible when you reconnect with your own wisdom, aliveness, and joy.
This training is for the caring soul who doesn’t just want to learn the “moves” of yoga. It’s for the human who wants to experience themselves more fully and truthfully through yoga—and learn how to share that experience with others.
You get to come exactly as you are.
You were never broken.
You don’t need to become someone else.
It’s time to remember why you are here—and bring your gifts to the world in your own unique way.
In this yoga teacher training we move through the layers:
💗Come into your body.
Strengthen, open, and reconnect with the physical body. Begin to notice where you hold tension, stress, and old patterns—and create more space for your body to move, breathe, and live freely. As you care for your physical body, you build a stronger, more resilient place to hold your energy and your life.
💗Work with your energy.
Wake up your Prana—your life force—and learn to use your breath as a real tool. Not just to relax, but to regulate, energize, focus, and shift how you feel. Your breath is always with you, and it has its own intelligence.
💗Get to know your mind.
Learn to notice your thoughts, emotions, reactions, and habits without automatically believing or acting on every one of them. You begin to create a little space between what happens and what you do next.
And in that space, you remember something important:
You have choice.
Listen deeper.
💗Access the space beyond the noise of the mind and the stories you’ve been carrying is a quieter kind of knowing. A wisdom that has been there all along.
The practice is learning to slow down enough to hear it—and becoming willing to trust what you already know.
Come home to yourself.
Begin to experience the part of you that isn’t defined by your age, your body, your roles, your accomplishments, your mistakes, or anyone else’s expectations of you.
The part of you that is whole before you ever try to fix yourself.
This is where we begin to touch something deeper:
💗 A sense of belonging to yourself, to life, and to the love that is already here.
An invitation to know yourself more deeply, through your body, your breath, and your relationships with others.
| You feel disconnected from yourself and want to feel more confident, grounded, and aligned. | You’re navigating a season of change, uncertainty, or transition. |
| You know there is more available to you than you’ve let yourself experience. | You’re curious about personal growth, healing, mindfulness, or spiritual development. |
| You want practical tools that help you feel calmer, clearer, and more empowered. | You feel drawn toward yoga, meditation, breathwork, or somatic healing. |
| You want to teach from lived experience, not just knowledge. | You’re ready to invest in your own growth and well-being. |
This Training is NOT for you if:
- You view yoga as a trend or solely a physical practice
- You think yoga is about the pose… The depth, the difficulty
- You think you need to look like all the trendy Instagram Yogis.
- If you feel like it’s a competition or popularity contest
- You want to learn textbook information and simple set sequences without understanding the subtle nuances
- If you have no interest in meditation
- You have no interest in honoring the cultural roots of yoga
What becomes possible when you know yourself from the inside out?
You begin to trust your own voice.
You recognize your patterns without being defined by them.
You become more comfortable inhabiting your body.
You learn to meet yourself — and others — with greater compassion and curiosity.
You develop the embodied awareness to hold space for yourself and for other people.
You begin to teach from a place that isn’t just knowledge, but lived experience.
This is yoga teacher training for people who want to do the deeper work. Not to become a perfect teacher.
But to become more you.
Come Home to Yourself
This is an invitation to know yourself more deeply—
through your body, your breath, and a deeper connection to your own inner wisdom.
A journey of coming home to yourself, becoming more aware of what you feel, what you carry, what you need… and who you are beneath it all.
This training weaves together three essential pillars of practice:
Hatha Yoga
Come home to your body. We begin with the physical practice of yoga — learning postures, alignment, breath, and movement while developing a deeper awareness of what is happening within your body. The practice becomes more than shapes on a mat. It becomes a way of listening.
You’ll learn refined, functional alignment to alleviate pain and increase stability and freedom, and how to skillfully share yoga from the heart of your own empowered voice and embodied experience. The postures are adjusted to suit you — you’ll never be asked to squeeze into one ideal form.
Breath + Meditation
Move beyond the physical. From the body, we move into the more subtle layers of experience through breathwork, meditation, and subtle energy. You begin to experience yoga not simply as something you do, but as a way of connecting with your inner landscape, your awareness, and the deeper dimensions of yourself.
Somatic Coaching
Listen. Recognize. Release. Become. The postures and practices begin to reveal where you hold tension, protection, emotion, and long-standing patterns in the body. Through somatic coaching, you learn to listen to those signals without judgment, and gently release what no longer supports who you are becoming.
Not fixing yourself. Not becoming someone else. Becoming more fully you — and stepping into your truthful expression and empowered purpose.
You will be blissfully swept away with Andrea’s compassion, intelligence, and fascinating knowledge of yoga. This program will take you for a ride deep into yourself — it’s transformative on every level.
Meet Andrea Thibaudeau, Founder of Heart Space Yoga Center
For over 25 years, Andrea has dedicated her life to yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, breathwork, and somatic healing. As an ERYT-500 instructor, Ayurveda counselor, breathwork guide, and trauma-sensitive practitioner, she teaches yoga as a living practice — blending ancient wisdom with modern life.
Andrea guides students to reconnect with their true selves, recognize limiting patterns, and grow with compassion and clarity. Her own journey began with a deep desire to help others, even while carrying the belief that she was “not enough.” Becoming a yoga teacher became her path to healing, self-worth, and reclaiming her voice — and this is exactly what she offers you.
Yoga is not about mastering poses; it is about remembering the power of who you truly are. By aligning body, mind, heart, and spirit, it becomes your pathway to healing, wholeness, and deep connection.
