Who Should Apply?
What Makes Power to Lead Different from Other Yoga Teacher Trainings?
I'm Dr. Trish Corley, a US licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy (Physiotherapy), internationally recognized yoga teacher trainer, and former professor of Functional Anatomy. I've been leading yoga teacher trainings for over 10 years across multiple countries. This combination of credentials doesn't exist anywhere else in Portugal's yoga teacher training landscape. You'll learn anatomy you can trust, teaching methods grounded in movement science, and practical ways to apply yoga practices to your whole life.
Balanced Posture Alignment Framework.
Most yoga teacher trainings teach you to memorize alignment cues. I created the Balanced Posture Alignment framework to help you understand WHY the body moves the way it does. This systematic approach means you'll be able to practice yoga and teach with genuine confidence instead of repeating scripts you don't fully understand.
Personal Transformation Creates Authentic Teachers.
The most impactful teachers aren't the ones with perfect postures. They're the ones who've done their own inner work and lead from their heart. Power to Lead focuses on your personal transformation first because when you discover your authentic self, your authentic voice naturally emerges.
Systematic Teaching Methods, Not Generic Scripts.
You'll learn proven systems for sequencing, cueing, providing hands on assists, and connecting with students. Instead of forcing you to teach like me, these systems give you structure to discover your own authentic approach.
My Promise:
You will have the opportunity to experience transformation in the area(s) of your life that are most important to you; and have the skills to confidently teach an empowering yoga class.

"Life changing is a big statement and this is exactly what it was for me. The yoga teacher training with Trish Corley trained me on asana/yoga concepts. And most importantly it developed my self awareness and leadership skills. These skills have been extremely valuable both as a yoga teacher and in my daily life. It has opened possibilities to me in my life. I used to be scared to stand in front of people to teach a class and now it's possible. In my daily life this has also translated into more awareness and confidence. Thank you for this experience."
