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.
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.
