_____________________________________________________________

We are happy to offer another opportunity to join us in 2025 for our 300hr Teacher Training in Sicily! Learn to practice and teach Jared's signature yoga class, JM Vinyasa, with clarity and precision. Students live on-site together for 3 weeks at the beautiful retreat center, Danena, just outside of Noto, Sicily with Jared McCann (E-RYT500) and Rebecca Causey (E-RYT500, FRCms), who share over 40 years of teaching experience. Our time together will be a full immersion in yoga asana, anatomy, philosophy and practice-teaching. We will cultivate a daily asana and sadhana practice and study each posture in-depth from the perspective of student and teacher.  

Our 300hr Advanced JM Vinyasa Teacher Training is designed to help trainees deepen, enhance, and refine their teaching skills as well as their personal movement + meditation practice. Participants learn to effectively teach and safely practice more advanced asana and inversions, cultivate a daily Sadhana practice that includes mantra, kriya, pranayama and meditation, as well as take a deeper look into yoga history and philosophy, yoga anatomy, physiology and functional movement. We will also take one day off per week. Students may opt to use this day to study and practice or go an excursion to enjoy and explore Sicily. 

Students who complete all elements of this training will be eligible to receive a 300hr certification from Yoga Alliance (YA), or add to any previous YA 200hr certification to meet the 500-RYT requirement. Students who satisfactorily complete this program will also receive a 300hr certificate from Jared McCann and will be added to our expanding group of certified JMY teachers around the world.
