Tools for Today’s Teachers: a modular 30-hour Advanced Training
Take your teaching to the next level with this 3-part intensive lead by Jason Orrell. This training is open to teachers of all experience levels, including current teachers in training and recent 200-hour graduates. The first module is also available to interested students who wish to deepen their practice.
The training is offered in a modular format that allows you to choose what works for your schedule, consisting of two primary modules that can be taken individually or together, as well as a mentorship add-on for those seeking personalized feedback on their teaching.
(CE hours available with Yoga Alliance)
Training Overview
Module 1: Biomechanics Intensive
This module is open to teachers and interested students! Both will benefit from this deep dive into exercise science. Teachers will gain valuable insight into the material by observing students, and students will have the opportunity to provide feedback, fostering novel, non-hierarchical dialogue in the yoga classroom.
Learn a modern, biomechanics-informed approach to alignment that will revolutionize your practice and teaching. Rethink common asana instructions from this science-based perspective and dispel pervasive myths about the body’s function and what constitutes safety in yoga. Both teachers and students will gain a deeper connection to their physical practice, and teachers specifically will gain confidence in encouraging safety and longevity in their students’ practices.
1:00-8:00PM
Saturday, October 4 and Sunday, October 5

Module 2: Sequencing Lab
This module is open to teachers of any experience level, including current and recent 200-hour graduates. Although it will reference material from the first module, it can be taken individually.
Learn a revolutionary approach to sequencing that will inspire your creativity, enliven your teaching and foster deep learning in your classes. Use this method to distill complex asanas into their constituent parts, examine relationships between postures and build focused, purposeful and effective sequences.
Encourage longevity and inclusivity in your classroom by preparing students progressively and offering meaningful variations to a broader spectrum of bodies. Bring your own embodied experience of asana to your teaching and hone your authentic voice.
1:00-8:00PM
Saturday, October 18 and Sunday, October 19
Module 3: Mentorship
The mentorship is available to interested students who complete both primary modules and are seeking personal feedback from a senior teacher. Students will work with Jason individually on their sequencing, teach a class to their peers and receive constructive feedback on their teaching in light of the material offered in the training. This is a rare opportunity for supportive dialogue and individualized encouragement.
