200 Hour
Yoga
Training
A path of self-mastery, leadership, and embodiment — rooted in the Journey Into Power sequence. For those who want to understand the body, not just move it.
The problem
Most yoga teachers are undertrained in the body they are teaching.
They learn sequences and cues. They do not learn how the body actually works.
This training
Not just another 200-hour training.
This program is designed to awaken your personal power, refine your alignment, and deepen your devotion to growth — on and off the mat.
Embodied Anatomy
Go beyond muscles and bones. Learn how fascia behaves under load, how the nervous system responds in real time, and how emotional patterns live in the body.
Journey Into Power
A sports-medicine-based sequence that is safe, effective, and sustainable — used as your foundation for power yoga, vinyasa, and yin.
Somatic Leadership
Learn to lead yourself first. Develop presence, clear communication, and the inner clarity to guide others through real transformation.
Real-World Application
Work with real people, not ideal shapes. Scale classes from beginners to advanced. Walk away with tools you can use immediately.
This is lived experience, translated into a way you can actually use."
What you will learn
Yoga is the container. But this is about understanding the human body — and how to lead yourself and others through transformation.
Journey Into Power Sequencing
The full structure and philosophy of the JIP sequence — how to teach it, modify it, and build on it for any level, style, or room.
Fascia & Structural Patterning
How fascial lines move, store tension, and respond to breath and load. See the body as a connected system.
Alignment-Based Anatomy
Hands-on anatomical awareness. Learn to see postural patterns, guide adjustment, and support structural change.
Nervous System Integration
How the nervous system responds to movement, breath, and held posture — and how to work with it skillfully.
Breathwork as Transformation
Pranayama as both a physical and emotional tool. Understand the physiological and energetic effects of breath.
Yoga Philosophy & Roots
Yamas, niyamas, meditation, and the classical foundations of yoga practice — applied to modern life.
Cueing, Sequencing & Presence
How to use language, energy, and silence to lead a room. Scale any class from advanced to yin.
Inner Work & Self Inquiry
Journaling, reflection, and inquiry practices. Communication skills that translate far beyond the studio.
"This training will challenge you, hold you, and expand you.— Dominique Blanchard
It will take you inward — and teach you how to show up in your life and practice like never before."
Why this is different
With so many trainings available, what you actually learn matters.
Even if you never teach a class, you will leave knowing how to lead yourself — with clarity, courage, and authenticity.

Dominique Blanchard —
lived experience as method
Dominique is an ERYT-500 registered yoga teacher with over 2,000 hours of teaching experience and more than two decades of study in the body through massage therapy and craniosacral work. Her teaching draws from structural anatomy, somatic awareness, and years of practice working with real people through real change.
She spent years working with the body through yoga, bodywork, and the real-world practice of structural rehabilitation and somatic reset. This training is everything she wishes more teachers understood — not just how to move people, but how to actually help them.

A note from Dominique
I have spent years working with the body — through yoga, bodywork, and the real-world lived experience of structural rehabilitation and somatic reset.
This training is everything I wish more teachers understood. Not just how to move people, but how to actually help them.
If you feel the pull, you already know.
