UpsideDownMama LLC

UpsideDownMama LLC is a registered yoga alliance school that offers a 200-hour and 300-hour certification. Lead teacher, Holly Fiske, takes a deeply connected, multidimensional, and quietly powerful approach. Holly doesn't just teach movement - she translates the body's wisdom into a language people can feel. It is science with soul, anatomy with attitude, and education that moves like poetry in motion. 

Holly's offerings include but are not limited to:

  • Therapeutic yet athletic: Honoring the body's complexity while challenging its potential.

  • Science-rooted and metaphor-fed: Making biomechanics feel like storytelling, where every joint has a plot twist.

  • Playful but precise: Using humor and curiosity to disarm, then deliver deep, lasting understanding.

  • Empowering but inclusive: Creating space for mamas, rebels, misfits, and movers to rise in their own rhythm.

  • Visually rich and rhythmically taught: Cues that land like choreography, and visuals that make anatomy feel alive.

FAQ

  1. Does a 200 hour and 300 hour make me a 500 hour teacher? YES! And you can register with the Yoga Alliance as an RYT or E-RYT 500 as long as your certifications were both Yoga Alliance Certified (Psssst - which ours both are!)

  2. Does it matter if my teacher training course is certified through the Yoga Alliance? Not necessarily, BUT, that being said - here is the value in a Yoga Alliance Certified program:

    Taking a Yoga Alliance certified training can be a powerful move—whether you're stepping into teaching or deepening your personal practice. Here’s why it matters:

    • Global Recognition: Yoga Alliance is the most widely recognized credentialing body for yoga teachers. Completing a certified training means your certification is respected around the world2.

    • Credibility & Trust: It signals to studios, clients, and students that you've met a standardized level of education in anatomy, philosophy, teaching methodology, and ethics.

    • Access to Resources: Members get continuing education, liability insurance options, and a supportive network of teachers and schools. It’s like joining a global guild of yoga professionals.

    • Professional Growth: Whether you're teaching full-time or integrating yoga into other modalities (like movement therapy or wellness coaching), this certification can open doors to workshops, retreats, and collaborations.

    • Ethical Commitment: Certified teachers agree to uphold inclusive, safe, and respectful teaching practices—something that’s increasingly important in today’s wellness landscape.

    That said, it’s not the only path. Some incredible teachers aren’t Yoga Alliance certified, and some trainings go far beyond the minimum standards. But if you're looking for a widely accepted credential and a structured foundation, it’s a solid place to start. Our 200-hour isn’t just Yoga Alliance certified but it is approved with ELEVATED STANDARDS.

“This yoga course is truly a gem. The content is so rich. I love being able to dive deeper. I love how you reiterate things in many different examples to create so many different ways for people to engrain the teachings, since everyone learns differently. And I LOVE how we will have this to go back to, to reflect on, if need be, to refresh the material at any point, to digest it differently because that’s how it works. THIS is why I’m redoing my 200hr.”

“I am a mother who works inside and out of the home with my own business. Holly has created such an interactive and intuitive training, and I have been blown away by her visual aids and organization of information. The amount of time weekly set aside to this training is realistic and set at a pace supportive of a busy lifestyle.”

“I couldn't be more grateful for this experience. Holly's course is self-paced and flexible, it allowed me to move through the content that fit my life and schedule with no pressure. The material is incredibly easy to digest with both philosophical concepts and anatomy lessons that were broken down in a very approachable way. It left room for curiosity and not overwhelmed. The best part is how relatable Holly is. Even being across the country, I felt like I knew Holly. She approached each session relatable and personable. She spoke from real-world experience and was encouraging every step of the way. I've been able to take each lesson into my yoga practice and teaching and already have made an impact with my students. I will definitely stay connected with Holly's teachings in the future.”

“I think the way you have structured this course is phenomenal! I genuinely feel like the two-hour increments plus homework and study are perfect for retention. I have learned so much and though I had a fairly strong base this has made my confidence and knowledge 100 times more!”

“Holly's program is extremely content rich, and she honestly could charge a lot more. The depth and knowledge as a new teacher was just right, it was easy to follow however so engaging, I learned something every class, every course though I've been practicing for nearly 4 years. I can't recommend her course enough. I would take it again for fun is how good it is. She is real, kind, so very knowledgeable, inspiring leaving me with an open mind and heart about how I can use my cert and I hope she expands to 500 HR, if so I will be taking that course with her as well. I get access to all the recordings to go back and review as needed and the interactive manual is worth gold. There are so many clickable links with real data east philosophy and west philosophy, tools, resources, stories, videos, and tutorials. So much value. I'm forever grateful to Holly's come as you are teaching style, everyone is welcome and she is so fun and makes class fun and light. Recommend 1000%.”
