Hi, I'm Jason.
I've been teaching yoga for more than 20 years and I've been training teachers online for more than 10.
I pride myself in going above and beyond in providing you with a comprehensive yoga education. (Blame my midwestern upbringing.)
In this training, we will dive deeply into the essential components of yoga asana, philosophy, anatomy, and teaching methodology, which will deepen your own inner experience of yoga.
I will also provide you with the knowledge, support, and technique to begin teaching yoga in a clear and confident way.
You'll learn the most up-to-date asana techniques, the most effective sequencing structures, and the most contemporary way to safely cue and guide your students.
You will walk away from this training with confidence, clarity as well as the ability apply yoga's techniques and wisdom to your day-to-day life.
You probably have some questions.
We'd love to answer them...
How is the content organized?
The course includes approximately 170 hours of pre-recorded lectures.
When you enroll in our course, you’ll get immediate access to your first 100-hours of recorded content so that you can start watching lectures right away!
Will I really know how to teach after graduating?
In recent years, I've started including foundational sequences in my 200-hour trainings.
Here's why: Standing in front of a room full of students as a new teacher can be overwhelming -- not only do you have move past your nerves, you will need to learn to pace your classes, to "see" your students' bodies, and balance myriad other details while leading a class.
Having a set sequence to teach can take pressure off while you gain experience and confidence as a teacher.
In addition to the pre-records, we'll meet on Zoom...
I will lead two Zoom meetings per week on:
- Tuesdays from 8-9:30am Pacific
- Thursdays from 4-5:30pm Pacific
These live meetings are a vital part of your training! They offer the opportunity to connect with each other, review any questions you may have about the material, break into small groups, practice teach and practice asana together.
Every week you will be expected to attend one of our two-hour meetings on Zoom.
You can choose whichever meeting you can come to from week to week, depending on your personal schedule.
You are more than welcome to attend both meetings if you'd like. The meetings will be recorded, so you can watch them in replay as well.
Note: Access to all content ends after one year, on January 14th, 2025.
When do we start? What's the schedule?
You can start watching the pre-recorded lectures as soon as you register!
Our live calls together will begin on Tuesday, January 14th.
I will offer calls on Tuesdays and Thursdays each week. The last call will be on Thursday, .
Here is a complete list of the live calls (you only have to attend one per week):
- Week 1: January 14 and/or January 16
- Week 2: January 21 and/or January 23
- Week 3: January 28 and/or January 30
- Week 4: February 4 and/or February 6
- Week 5: February 11 and/or February 13

Course completion requirements
When you graduate, you will be ready to teach all-levels classes with a specialized focus on working with beginners.
To ensure that you’re prepared for the experience leading others, you will be required to pass exams focused on each of our subject matter areas: anatomy, philosophy, technique, sequencing, and working with beginners.
The exams do not include teaching demonstration, but you can expect to teach your peers quite a bit during the training.
If exams cause you stress or you have learning differences, we will work with you to support you in every way we can.
To receive certification, you must complete all coursework and our exam by January 14th, 2025.
The 150-hours of recorded content are self-paced. Our “live” zoom sessions are also self-paced if you are unable to join them live.
But, you are limited to one year of access and must finish your training within this timeframe.
I truly look forward to meeting new students and hope that you will join me!
