      It’s time! Lighthouse is excited to offer our first in-person 300hr Teacher Training since 2019! Learn to practice and teach our signature yoga class, JM Vinyasa, with clarity and precision. This training will be our most immersive and in-depth training to date, as we will live on-site together for 3 weeks at the beautiful retreat center, Danena Sicily, with Jared McCann and Rebecca Causey, who share over 34 years of teaching experience. Immerse yourself in yoga asana and sadhana practice and study each posture in-depth from the perspective of practitioner and teacher. Jared will also teach Yoga History and Philosophy and along with Rebecca, serve as coach + mentor during teaching practice sessions. Rebecca will teach Anatomy + Kineseology as applied to yoga asana. 


      Our 300hr Advanced JM Vinyasa Teacher Training is designed to help students enhance and refine their teaching skills and personal yoga + meditation practice. Trainees will learn to effectively teach and safely practice more advanced poses and inversions, cultivate a daily Sadhana practice that includes mantra, kriya, pranayama and meditation, as well as take a deeper look into yoga history and philosophy, yoga anatomy and functional movement.

      Students who complete all the elements of this training will be eligible to receive a 300hr certification from Yoga Alliance, or add it to a previous 200hr certification to meet the 500hr RYT requirement. Students who satisfactorily complete this program will also receive a 300hr certificate from Jared McCann and their contact information and teaching credentials will be added to our list of certified JMY teachers around the world.

      7. Understand anatomy + physiology as applied to yoga asana, including how to assist and guide students with limitations and injuries
      8. Utilize and cue advanced Bandhas to increase stability, strength and energetic awareness
      9. How to teach excellent private yoga lessons
      10. Learn the business of Yoga (online module)

      Absolutely loved this series!! Such a joy to practice with Jared again, and to get back into more advanced postures and techniques. Nothing quite like a JMY complete practice on my body/mind. Looking forward to the next one!!
      By Ksenia V for 8 Great JM Vinyasa Classes on Mar 15, 2024
      Overall incredible experience, I strongly recommend learning with Jared & Rebecca if you have the opportunity. Booking: Schedule and stay information was detailed upon booking. I used the bank transfer option and everything went smoothly. Rebecca answered all my questions quickly. I received the manual & reading list immediately and was able to prepare for the training at my own time. Stay at Danena: Tastefully renovated "Masseria" (farm) in the middle of the Sicilian countryside. Pets and a beautiful Mediterranean garden to enjoy. Big infinity pool with views on the olive trees & the sea. I shared a room that was clean and practical, with AC, however I would have prefered a firmer mattress. Beautiful practice space fully equipped except for cork blocks, that would be an useful addition. Staff are lovely and available to help as well as advise on the places to visit around Danena. Food: Plenty of local, mostly vegetarian (sometimes fish) food prepared daily by the chef. Tasty & different dishes to suit everyone were served at every meal. Yoga classes: Deepening my yoga practice with Rebecca and Jared for three full weeks was an extraordinary opportunity. Their combined knowledge of asana, meditation, anatomy, philosophy and pedagogy will enrich your practice both as a yoga student and as a yoga teacher. They are eager to share their passion and help their students by meeting them exactly where they are on their yoga & life path. Most importantly, their kindness, compassion and embodiment of yoga is truly inspiring.

      There are no words to describe how amazing that training was. Rebecca and Jared are the most incredible teachers I came across. So humble, inspiring. Their life, practice, spirituality. ♥️ Thank you so much for all the love you’ve been giving us. The sadhana, the yoga, the Pilates, the hiit, the anatomy classes, the posture clinic, the philosophy. Everything was so amazing, I wish I’ll have the chance to live this once again in my life. The people in Danena are also so kind and wonderful that it felt like home.
      By Mathieu M for Sicily 300hr Teacher Training with Jared McCann on Oct 05, 2023
      Absolutely life-changing, and in Sicily this time nonetheless! Training with Jared and Rebecca anywhere is a gift. They are both extremely knowledgable in the practices. Their trainings offer a deeply holistic approach to a transformative, sustainable lifelong yoga practice — both as a student and highly skilled teacher. This advanced training covered in-depth posture workshops, advanced meditation, functional strength training, integrated & applied anatomy, yoga philosophy, the business of yoga, enriching instruction, and several spiritual tools that will last you a lifetime. It's important to find a teacher that genuinely embodies what they teach, and maintains integrity to the roots of the practice. Jared and Rebecca are prime examples of this. Training with them is something I recommend to anyone who is ready to elevate their yoga practice, teaching, and life overall. On top of everything, you will always find a new community of amazing like-minded beings to learn with.

      Absolutely amazing!💯 Life changing experience 300 RYT with Jared and Rebecca, truly incredible teachers! Words really can't describe how grateful I am for all the love, sadhana practices, yoga, HIIT, pilates, anatomy, philosophy and more we learned and shared together over those 3 weeks! The accommodations, staff and food at Danena were all wonderful! And I will never forget the fun outings where we played and laughed together all day! So much love and gratitude for this unforgettable experience that has transformed my life and consciousness forever!💖
