With over 20 years of experience in corporate Learning and Development, Nelly brings a deep expertise in instructional design to the world of yoga education. Since becoming a certified yoga instructor in 2010, she has helped shape and facilitate Yoga Alliance–approved 200-hour and 300-hour Teacher Training programs across the U.S., working closely with studios to craft meaningful, effective learning experiences for aspiring teachers.
Nelly is the creator of the Creative Yoga Sequencing program, an online platform that empowers both new and seasoned yoga teachers to build confidence, refine their teaching voice, and stand out through purposeful, inspired class planning.
Her yoga journey began on a deck overlooking the Caribbean Sea—seeking clarity, she discovered a lifelong practice that continues to restore balance and vitality in her own life. Nelly’s teaching philosophy centers on a love-based, student-focused approach, offering variations and progressions for every body and level, encouraging students to explore their unique edge with compassion and curiosity.

High Performance Yoga isn't about following someone else's formula — it's about teaching as yourself. Founded by Nelly Perumean (ERYT-500), HPY equips yoga teachers with intentional sequencing methods that let their personality, passion, and individuality shine through every class. For students, it's a holistic practice that honors where you are and challenges you to grow. Whether you're on the mat or behind it, HPY meets you where you are — and takes you further.

Built on 15+ years of refining my sequencing method, the same approach I teach in my Common to Creative sequencing course and upcoming 2026 book, this AI tool helps yoga teachers create powerful, safe, intentional classes in minutes.

Ready to go deeper? HPY's online courses are built for teachers who want to stop second-guessing and start standing out. Common to Creative is a 3-part sequencing program that walks you through finding your teaching voice, building purposeful class structure, and unlocking your creativity — all at your own pace, with CEUs included. Alongside it, you'll find courses on theming, peak poses, and on-demand practice classes. Every offering is designed to give you the confidence, tools, and individuality to build a teaching career that's truly yours.
