Curriculum

  • Vinyasa: The Seven Doorways 

The Vinyasa class sequencing within the 7 Doorway method is rhythmic and responsible. It’s intuitive nature is the groundwork for all that we will touch physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

  • Intuitive Sequencing

Learn to break down each flow and discover exactly why and how the pieces fit together. Discover breath as the bridge from thinking to feeling. Apply the 5 Elements of Nature for exceptional results.

  • Acro Yoga & Inversion Practice

The profound effects of Inversion Therapy and partner work ( of many kinds ) are both integral in a well balanced practice and community experience. Seeing ourselves and others from a new perspective is an exceptional tool. 

  • Community Outreach / Teaching Yoga

We will ensure that you leave the training feeling confident to teach. The art of giving and receiving feedback are relied on heavily to draw out the certainty our students demand! 

  • The Lineage & History of Yoga

We will begin at the root of an ancient practice and enter into discussion of how Yoga has come to where we are at today, in the present. Ethical Responsibility (Ahimsa) will be considered along with the 5 Precepts

Doing my 200 YTT with Jonah was way more than I could have ever anticipated. I went into the experience hoping to just deepen my personal yoga practice, yet I also came out of it with the drive to completely switch careers. (And with the support of 30+ new friends!)  What sets Jonah apart is that while yoga can often be a serious study, he still makes it fun and engaging while not taking himself so seriously. He is super easy to talk to, learn from, and is open to suggestions or critique. You can easily respect him as a teacher but he treats you like an equal. This says a lot about the kind of person he just is. One thing I took from him is how to also laugh at myself as a yoga teacher and not let ego get in the way. And even though I am one of the newer teachers in the studios I work in, the front-to-back style that he teaches is like NO other. Because of my training with Jonah I was able to gain unique skills and confidence to still immediately stand out in many yoga spaces. I have been able to seamlessly adapt this framework to create classes that are more restorative or even in 100+ degrees. Jonah continues to support my endeavors from afar, and has proven he really cares about his students long after the trainings. I can't wait to take my 300 hour with him sooner than later!

Become A Yogi Teacher Training was an absolute DREAM!!! It’s truly hard to put those 18 days into words. The experience was transformational. Jonah, Renae, Heidi, and Marco are very knowledgeable individuals who provided an incredible amount of insight in their areas of expertise. I couldn’t imagine the trip without them. We learned and practiced a lot which allowed us to walk away from the experience feeling confident about sharing yoga with the world. All the students, now teachers, who attended were absolutely amazing!! Some life long friendships were definitely made. <3 I highly recommend signing up and investing in yourself. It’s your time!!

The single most transformational Yoga training i’ve ever been to. Jonah created the perfect environment for growth and expansion. The training was world class and everything felt intentionally curated to prioritize the students and their connection. From the location, food, morning meditations and the overall curriculum, it is literally impossible not to grow when you’re here. Through this training I feel like I have found my Yoga family and a happy home within my mind. Thank you for this next-level training Jonah.

We had a great time! The hotel was excellent, easy check in, friendly staff, very clean and comfortable rooms. The resort itself was so beautiful and the food was wonderful. Daily yoga and activities were great. I enjoyed my free time but could have used more structure, too much free time at times. It would have been nice to have options for other optional activities and meals.

Choosing to travel with Jonah is one of the best travel choices I have made. He is genuine, down-to-earth, and makes you feel at ease no matter where you are. His retreats and yoga teacher trainings are world-class. He carefully plans each experience to make it one you will never forget. He is also magnet for the most incredible people; you are sure to also walk away with relationships you'll treasure for life. You cannot go wrong by attending one of his events.
