In this 150 Hour teacher training, Joan will include a variety of topics listed below along with daily asana, pranayama, and meditation practice. Having studied yoga abroad for many years and a lot of it in India, this has helped Joan embody the practice and understand more about The Hindu Philosophy where Yoga originated from.


This training course will include:


• Advanced asana and pranayama practices daily.

•. Therapeutics,, working with injuries, and healing the nervous system. 

• Understanding the five koshas and going deeper into each body.

• ,Learn to read bodies and explore the art of hands on adjustments that are appropriate to the individual.  

•. Develop a meditation practice.

•. Integrate the practice of Ayurveda into your daily life and routine. 

•. Refine your sequencing skills and learn to sequence for the beginner and advanced yogi. 

•  Go deeper in yogic philosophy and learn how to integrate it into your teachings and everyday lives.

•. Learn what dharma is and how to be authentic with what you are offering. 

•. Explore aspects of the shadow and teacher student dynamics. 

• Teach with confidence!  There will be practice teaching sessions led by Joan.


This training will include guest teachers offering sound baths, kirtans, and body work. The main teacher will be Joan along with special guests to create an immersive experience you won't forget! 


This will also be a career path for teachers that have already taken their 200 Hour teacher training or who are already practicing and teaching and wish to continue on their journey. If you haven't taken a 200 Hour, please message Joan and she can help you get caught up if you wish to join this training. 


This will be 150 Hours credited towards The School of Yoga. 



Goa is the perfect place to relax and unplug from the western world and dive deep into your yoga and meditation practice.  The beaches are bright and vibrant and Goa offers a softer version of India but still with the richness and depth this spiritual culture offers.

In March 2024, I graduated from the 200hrs YTT with the School of Yoga. The YTT consisted of a few online practices and lectures with Joan, in preparation of and before a two-week full-time yoga retreat in Rajasthan, India. Overall, it was an enriching and transformative experience: thanks to this YTT, I re-discovered Yoga, and I felt in love for it and for life. I grew as a yogi and as a person. The 200-hrs YTT — with all its components — gives the fundamental knowledge on Yoga practice and philosophy. It is well balanced between practice and theory/lecture. Intellectually, the YTT is interesting and fascinating. And it is fun! Joan is a knowledgeable and inspiring teacher. She is passionate and dedicated to teaching. Undoubtedly, Joan also has a talent for transferring knowledge: Her explanations are clear and make sense, her talks are capturing and transformative.. The 2-week retreat in India is enriching also for the life and human experience. Accommodation (site, staff and food) is impeccable. I naturally (with no difficulty) merged with the life-style at the retreat. We shared amazing time together with the participants: We were all present. Truthful and loving. Open and curious. I grew as a person. I learned to better listen to and being truthful to myself. Today, I am using all these learnings in my daily life at home….

We had a very nice time. Food was good, rooms were comfortable. The center was by the beach which felt good. TT was intense and very interesting. Joan brought some gong bath and kirtan experience. I guess we all peeled off some layers and came back changed.
