Yogalates

with Tiana Parenteau & Kim MacDonald

October 2-4, 2026

Take your teaching to the next level with our Yogalates Teacher Training. You’ll learn the foundations of Yogalates, including class sequencing, proper alignment, effective cueing, modifications for all fitness levels, and how to seamlessly integrate strength movements into a flowing yoga practice. We’ll also cover the purpose behind each movement, how to create safe and empowering experiences, and how to build classes that leave students feeling stronger, more energized, and connected to their bodies.


Whether you’re looking to expand your teaching repertoire or bring a fresh, fun format to your studio, this training will provide you with the knowledge, confidence, and tools to teach Yogalates with authenticity and skill.


Bio

Tiana


My foundation has always been in education. I earned undergraduate degrees in Early Childhood Education and Visual & Performing Arts, followed by a master’s degree in Language & Literacy. These experiences taught me how to create engaging learning environments, adapt to different learning styles, and help others build confidence through education.


While I transitioned from the traditional classroom into the wellness industry, teaching has remained my true passion. As a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher and certified instructor in Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Meditation, Tone & Flow, Yoga Nidra, Pilates, Buti Yoga, Kids Yoga, Reiki, and Holistic Health Coaching, I have dedicated my career to helping others discover their strength—both physically and mentally.


Leading a Yogalates teacher training is an opportunity to combine my love for education with my passion for movement. My goal is to create a supportive, empowering environment where trainees feel challenged, encouraged, and inspired to grow into knowledgeable, confident instructors. I believe the best teachers don’t simply memorize sequences—they understand the “why” behind the movement, learn to teach with authenticity, and develop the confidence to connect with every student they lead.


My intention is to equip future instructors with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to create safe, effective, and inspiring Yogalates classes while encouraging them to embrace their own unique teaching style. I strive to help every trainee leave not only with a certification, but with a genuine belief in their ability to positively impact the lives of others through movement.

After years of running ½ marathons, to practicing and teaching indoor cycling, I explored a yoga practice and became instantly enamored with how the practice impacted my mind, body and spirit, which in turn changed my entire outlook on life! Because I loved learning more about yoga, I decided in 2021, to complete my 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training and because of continued education, I am a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, and a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher Educator, YACEP, through Yoga Alliance. I am also Reiki I and Yin Certified and in March 2022, I completed my Inferno Hot Pilates (IHP) teacher training, which has been truly amazing!


I teach Yogalates (Yoga and Pilates intertwined together) practice with weights, band, yoga blocks, bali ball, Pilates ring… you name the prop and I uses it! I invest time creating upbeat playlists by relying on 80’s, 90’s Rock, R&B, Pop, and

today’s music hits to motivate, inspire, and propel my energy towards you on your mat. The clamoring effect during your practices with me will make you sweat and release whatever does not serve you out onto your mat.


The one thing I hope for everyone is to NEVER GIVE UP! Whether it’s inside or outside the 4 walls at Sweat & Soul, never give up on YOU! Take one practice at a time and keep going! Allow your mind, body, and spirit to escape during these amazing practice sessions and leave the studio feeling balanced, detoxified, and rejuvenated every time!


You can check me out  in Derry on Thursdays at 5:30pm for Hot Pilates practice sessions!
