HEY, I'M JASON.
I’ve been teaching yoga for over 20 years, teaching everywhere from local studios around the globe to providing trainings at the world’s most prestigious yoga conferences and events.
I’ve been a pioneer in online training for nearly a decade and I've learned to incorporate best practices for online learning from online educational specialists.
My approach prioritizes critical thinking skills, integrating science with traditional asana technique, and creating a lasting community of peers.
In addition to teaching layers and layers of sequencing, I focus on helping teachers develop compelling and comprehensive curriculums for their students. My bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and years of studying yoga philosophy help me communicate the essence of the yoga tradition in a clear, honest, and accessible way.
Most importantly, I work to ensure that you are seen, supported, and educated in a comprehensive way -- helping you develop your career as a teacher and make a positive impact on YOUR students.

THE BENEFITS OF ONLINE LEARNING

Your manual and lectures include graphics and images that convey concepts visually.
Pause, Rewind, Replay
If you're too saturated to absorb a lecture, you can pause the video, take a moment, and return at your own pace.
12 Months of Access
Rather than two weeks of access that you get in a live module, we provide 12 months of access to all content for each online module.
Higher Level of Organization
As far as yoga teachers go, I'm extremely organized--especially in my trainings. This Online Course provides even greater tools for organization from planning to execution.
