The 300-hour teacher training program is designed as a flexible program that can be completed in as little as 12 months or as long as three years.
This immersion provides multi-dimensional study of the practices of yoga, designed to establish a foundation for your teaching to emanate from your own depth of studentship and lived experience with yoga.
For our 2025 October cohort, we will offer 3 different training format options:
In Spring 2026, we are offering a 3 week residential 300 hour training at Haramara Retreat in Mexico: Embodied Living • Dharma | Discipline | Devotion
This program is designed to support you in finding your own path as a student and from there, as a teacher. The full 300-hour program is registered with Yoga Alliance. Upon successful completion of the program, you’ll receive a 300-hour certificate.
You’ll have the option to register with Yoga Alliance at the 500-hour level by submitting your prior 200-hour certificate and the 300-hour certificate from the Stone Yoga School.
Enrollment will open on August 27 for our fall cohort that begins on October 1.
Enrollment fees will depend on the program format. For all options, we offer options for full tuition, sliding scale rates and partial scholarships.

This training was so far beyond my expectations. I wasn't sure if the online format would provide me with enough depth or understanding and I was surprised to find out that this method of learning was so much more conducive for my lifestyle. All of the different guests and mentors that contributed brought so much the experience. Janet's wisdom and ways of conveying information and concepts in unmatched. This training brought me so much beyond asana, beyond the surface of teaching. It is rich and comprehensive. Deep and inspiring. Transformative. I am so very grateful for this school and this training. OM OM OM
Janet and her team’s capacity to hold space for students during an incredibly challenging 2 years (pandemic and social injustice) was absolutely amazing. They led flexible programming, listened and provided supportive feedback during zoom meetups. Janet’s wisdom and embodiment of this practice is what one seeks in a mentor or guide. The investment in this education provides invaluable tools to live a joyful and well-lived life.
This training was an amazing experience and incredibly fulfilling in all aspects. Each course is designed so that one can fully experience the lessons via video, books and live lectures. Janet and her team are accessible and incredibly accommodating. They are professional and hold space for each individual. I will be taking more courses in the future and am honored to be a graduate of this program.
Janet's training was life-changing. I'm in awe every time I train with her and her team with the level of education and heartfelt intention with every gathering. I can't recommend training with Janet enough!
Janet and team are simply THE best. Thoughtful and professional. The highest quality delivery of content, practice & integration. I choose to continue to learn from Janet for the rest of my life. And will forever recommend her school & teachings.
