Course Content
Join Jason for a rare, in-person weeklong practice intensive!
For 6 days, you’ll immerse yourself into a comprehensive, methodical series of morning practices. Each practice focuses on connecting to your core and includes a full-spectrum sequence that spans vinyasa, meditation, pranayama, restoratives and yoga nidra. You’ll experience Jason’s newest teaching insights, while dedicating your time to inspiring, deepening, and savoring your practice.
While this immersion will certainly give you new teaching perspectives and connect you to an in-room community of yogis, the focus is dedicated much more to your practice than to your teaching.
This 6-day immersion will run each day from 9am – 12pm.
