200 Hour Yoga 
TEACHER TRAINING

Alison Grzyb is a passionate teacher of Yoga and Mindfulness.  She has over 500 hours in certifications including athletes, kids and her most recent 300 hour training at Lyons Den Power Yoga in NYC. Ali’s love of studying movement began at Indiana University with undergraduate degrees in Kinesiology and Education and a Master’s  in Psychology.  She walked into her first yoga class as a runner recovering from a back injury, fell in love with the demanding and healing physical practice and eventually dedicated herself to the mental connection as well. Ali currently teaches yoga to professional athletes in the NHL, collegiate athletes at Rutgers University, corporate companies and is the founder and owner of Far Hills Power Yoga.  After 20 years of studying movement and the mind, she is so proud to grow a studio that stands for both physical and mental health and empowers the connection between the two. 
Ali’s classes include thoughtful mobility sequences, breath-work and empowering mindfulness techniques, and she cannot wait to share these teaching tools with the trainees.  Originally from Louisville, Kentucky, you’ll feel Ali’s southern warmth, positivity and wealth of knowledge throughout this training!

Michelle Bass has accumulated over 1,000 hours of training in Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga Methodology directly through the Baptiste Institute and Baptiste Affiliate Studios.  She completed the highest level of training within the Baptiste Institute, FIT to LEAD, in 2018 and has been a Certified Baptiste Teacher since 2016.  In her career, she has been a contributing teacher to seven power vinyasa yoga teacher trainings.  She is excited and grateful to be co-leading the next Far Hills Power Yoga + Leapfrog Power Yoga teacher training with Ali Grzyb and Lindsay Pearce. Her teaching style has expanded and transformed continuously since teaching her first class in 2009.  Since then, she has taught approximately 2,000 yoga classes in person and virtually.  In 2021, she opened Leapfrog Power Yoga, an infrared heated power yoga studio located in New Providence, NJ with her husband Andrew.   Her class is a mix of fire and water infused with lessons learned in her daily life as a business owner, wife, and mother of two young children.  Over the past 15 years, she has cultivated the powerful and life-transforming tools of Baptiste Yoga to live a life that is both present and authentic, while learning to navigate the highs and lows of life with acceptance and resiliency.  She is committed to always doing the work of this practice, and she empowers her students to do the same.

Lindsay Pearce is a 500 E-RYT who began teaching vinyasa yoga following her initial teacher training completion in 2017. She has since completed an additional 300 hours of training and has over 1,000 teaching hours. This will be the second 200 hour teacher training program that she has facilitated. Lindsay’s educational background includes a degree with honors in Neurobiology from Drew University and dual minors in Spanish and psychology. In 2017, she defended her thesis in cellular molecular neurobiology and had her research published in the field as a contribution to Alzheimer’s Disease research.
Lindsay is very passionate about sharing yoga with others as she has seen first hand the impact that it has had on her own life, as well as the lives of those close to her. She is even more passionate about teaching teachers, and is truly honored to have the opportunity to co-facilitate the first Far Hills Power Yoga Teacher Training.
