WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING
Each time I study with you, Jason, I come away feeling excited that I have learned so much that I can’t wait to share with my students.
This course has been the most informative and valuable training I have ever undertaken.
Your guidance around sequencing and the master sequence template are invaluable. The last few lectures on sequencing have shed so much light on a subject that has always seemed so mysterious and unfathomable to me – once again I thank you for this.
I am so grateful that this module was virtual, as I was able to pause videos to write things down, and repeat them when I felt like I didn’t catch something! That is SUPER helpful for someone with a learning style like mine.
I truly feel like things which previously felt like they didn’t “stick” have now been internalized in my mind and body, and I am stoked about that!
It’s like finally things clicked!

JACKIE DOMINAS
HEY, I'M JASON.
I’ve been teaching yoga for over 20 years, teaching everywhere from local studios around the globe to providing trainings at the world’s most prestigious yoga conferences and events.
More importantly for this particular training, I’ve been a pioneer in online teaching and training for nearly a decade and I've learned to incorporate best practices for online learning from online educational specialists.
I’m not rushing from behind to get my trainings online like so many others -- I’ve been honing this process for years.
Over the decades, I’ve continued to refine and improve the way I train, guide, and support teachers in my advanced trainings.
I prioritize critical thinking skills, the integration of modern sports science with ancient understanding in asana technique, and creating a lasting community of peers.
In addition to teaching layers and layers of sequencing, I focus on helping teachers develop compelling and comprehensive curriculums for their students. My bachelor’s in Philosophy and years of studying yoga philosophy helps me communicate the essence of the yoga tradition in a clear, honest, and accessible way.
Most importantly, I work to ensure that you are seen, supported, and educated in a comprehensive way -- helping you develop your career as a teacher and make a positive impact on YOUR students.
