200-Hr Registered Yoga Teacher Training
“What we learn with pleasure we never forget.” -Alfred Mercier
A Path of Self-Inquiry
The primary reason students attend our training program is to deepen their own understanding of themselves through Transformation.
Education That Transforms
This Training Will Change You
The richness of experiential learning in our program comes from the joy and lightness that balances the depth and intensity of the ancient Yoga tradition. We share these teachings to cultivate an environment where each of us awakens to a belief in ourselves, inspired by curiosity and a willingness to discover knowledge from within.
Drawn from the classical teachings of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, our approach prioritizes steadiness and ease. We practice and teach in a way that removes striving and performance and welcomes us inward, to restore and recapture the peace that is our essential nature. This lens creates strength at every level: integration, balance, and joy. As these qualities become grounded in us through regular practice, we create new, life-affirming habits, and literally change our bodies, our nervous systems, and our brains. A newly emerging self becomes increasingly strong, balanced, and naturally more at ease.
Transformation happens through three inseparable forces: the teachings, the teachers, and the community we build together.
Foundational Training
What You Will Learn
Our 200-hour training serves both aspiring teachers and serious students who seek a deeper understanding of the eight-limbed path of yoga. The program thoughtfully facilitates the necessary knowledge, experience, and technical tools to teach a yoga practice that meets the needs of today's practitioners.
You will learn what is foundational to all paths of yoga, beginning with a thorough grounding in the five techniques of Hatha Yoga: stillness (asana), rhythm (vinyasa), breath (pranayama), integration (bandha), and presence (drushti). From there, you will learn how to arrange these techniques and establish a dominant focus. This shapes practice toward specialized offerings to support the unique needs and goals of your students, such as restorative, vinyasa, or alignment-based movement.
You will learn to language and sequence through experience, and to deepen understanding through continuous creativity. At the heart of this training is the practice of yoga as self-inquiry and surrender: a living, embodied relationship with the teachings rather than a collection of information.
The program is structured around five areas of study:
Technical Training and Practice: Posture, core actions, sequencing (vinyasa krama), pranayama, and meditation
History and Philosophy:Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and Bhagavad Gita
Anatomy and Physiology: Applied to asana, pranayama, and meditation
Sanskrit: Pronunciation, key terms, and the language of the classical texts
Yoga in Real Life: The process of transformation, relationship as practice, self-study, and the professional foundations of teaching yoga
Training Year
A total of seven modules will be conducted within seven months. These courses form the base hours of the mandatory core curriculum of the Basic RYT teacher requirements. In addition, hours are completed through class observation, practice, teaching a minimum of one community yoga class and home-study. There is also a required reading list of books that must be completed prior to certification.
To be recommended to the Yoga Alliance as a yoga teacher certified by Jane's House Studio, it is necessary to attend all of the training intensives, complete 200 hours, pass a comprehensive final examination, meet the financial obligation and must, in the opinion of the teacher training instructors, be able to competently and compassionately teach a basic yoga class.
While there is no time limitation for the completion of Yoga teacher training, the trainee is expected to attend training sessions on a regular basis, and it is suggested that the training be completed within a year. If the teacher trainee does not attend training sessions for a period of one year, his or her application will be considered dormant, and he or she will have to reapply for the program.
Each teacher training attendee receives a beautifully produced manual containing illustrations and professionally photographed asanas.
