Do you love yoga so much that you want to share it with everyone you know? Or maybe you're looking to understand the practice of yoga on a more personal level? Join Jade Skinner, YA-certified E-RYT 500/YAECP, BE Ashtanga Director, and founder of Sacred Jade Yoga, on a 5-month journey into one of the most profound, transformative experiences of your life!

Immerse yourself in 200+ hours of in-depth study into the heart of yoga. The Sacred Jade Yoga Teacher Training program is designed for the aspiring yoga teacher and for those interested in personal development.

Sacred Jade Yoga is a Vinyasa-based school with deep roots in the Ashtanga method, the foundation for most modern-day yoga practices. This training unpacks the extensive history of yogic philosophy, functional anatomy and biomechanics of the human body, structured and creative sequencing, personalized instruction, uncovering YOUR ‘why’, how to authentically hold space, self-care practices, cultivating diversity, living your yoga, and so much more! Jade encourages curiosity, consistency, and self-challenge with a friendly reminder that love, grace, and compassion are at the forefront of growth and healing.

Sacred Jade Yoga Teacher Training is a RYS 200 Yoga Alliance accredited school.

What you'll learn:
Teacher-Student Relationship: Building trust with open communication through a non-hierarchical approach.
Foundations of Ashtanga Yoga: Modified Ashtanga series, history, and traditional vs non-traditional practices.
History and Philosophy of Yoga: An introduction to The Bhagavad Gita and Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras – two of the essential texts of yoga.
Functional Anatomy and Biomechanics: The more you know about the body, its makeup, and how it functions, the more tools you'll have to move with power and ease.
Intro to Ayurveda: The science of life, according to Eastern philosophy. Learn about your individual constitution and how to balance yourself through food, environment, seasons, and activity.
Implementing Yoga into Daily Living: Learn how to bring your yoga practice off your mat and into daily life.
Intro to Meditation: Instead of focusing on shutting the mind off, you’ll learn how to direct the mind to places that cultivate stillness in thought and reaction.
Intro to Pranayama: Learn how to use different breath practices to prepare the body for active (practice-based) or seated meditation.
‘Koshas’ + Subtle Energies: Learn the breakdown of the energetic levels of the body – physical, mental and emotional, and spiritual layers – and how they influence us as individuals.
Sanskrit Chanting: Awaken the throat and third eye chakra with japa and mantras. Discover how chanting eases the nervous system and the benefits it brings to the body, mind, and soul.
Multi-level Teaching: Develop the skill set, tools, and awareness to teach different levels of practitioners at once.
Holding Space: Attain a clearer perspective on what it truly means to hold space for yourself and others.
Asana 101 – The Art of Teaching Yoga: Posture clinics, cueing alignment, and learning to instruct with confidence. Observation and the ‘why’ behind observing others is a paradigm shift in teaching and perspective.
Flow & Thematic Sequencing: Explore the craftiness of creative flows through the process of deconstruction and reconstruction of peak poses.
Observations: Observing other teachers opens your world to new possibilities, perspectives, language, teaching cues, and more.
Concepts, Theory & Practice of Restorative: A complement to Ashtanga and Flow, restorative yoga activates the parasympathetic “rest and digest” response in the body by allowing the body and mind to be supported through slow movements and props.
The Business of Yoga: Learn about the intricacies of starting and running a yoga business, from ethics and liabilities to setting up a website and marketing yourself.
