What teacher training track is right for you ?
Svadharma
Svadharma: To Find and Follow the Path of One’s Own Being. “What am I ‘supposed’ to be doing?” “Am I on the right path?” All too often, we look outside of ourselves for the answers to these questions. You might try to model after others, because their path looks like what you ‘should’ be doing…
From student to teacher
and back again. And again.
Foundations
The Stone Yoga School 200 Hour Basic Certification supports the development of a steady personal practice as the foundation for teaching. Students attend two 108-hour residential immersions. Every training is unique, yet all of them focus on the foundations of practice, philosophy, and teaching techniques. This means students can select any two immersions that work for them, knowing they will get a complete foundation for practice and teaching.
ApplyIntegrating Practice
The Stone Yoga School 300/500 hour program allows students to build their own curriculum from among the many immersions and trainings Janet offers. Students can take the full 500 hours with Janet; or, if they have an approved 200 hour certificate from another school, take 300 hours with Janet. This flexible and extensive program allows students to train at a pace that allows for integration.
ApplyFinding Your Path
The Stone Yoga School 1008 Sadhana program reflects a core tenet of Janet’s philosophy of teaching yoga: that we teach from the root of our own practice. The Sadhana program builds on the philosophical and technical expertise gained in the 500-hour program, and asks students to find their own voice and path as teachers.
ApplyDeeper. Next level. New beginning.
However you phrase it, this is your path.
The Stone Yoga School is a global sangha, built over Janet’s many years of teaching and her extensive travel. Students meet and then cross paths again. We remain connected in the interim through social media and online trainings. Community is at the heart of it all.
