“I am so glad I signed up for this teacher training! It has inspired me to take a year off from teaching and just be a student. I love the deep discussions in this group and feel a very real kinship with so many that I don’t even know their last name.

I enjoy the gift of technology that allows me to listen again and again to these conversations. These conversations, your podcast, the teachers call, the YTT….it’s all a beautiful tapestry of yogic inquiry.

I don’t know if you realize how much you have shaped the modern yoga practitioner. I’m here to tell you that my friend and I who met you at different times, were changed forever by your presence”

“I knew after the first morning class that J. was unlike any other teacher I have had in my 35-plus years of yoga,” Williams admits. “Breath was the work of the practice, the teacher-student relationship entered a new post-lineage time, and seeking or striving for ‘advanced’ poses would be placed on an ‘only-if-joyful’ basis. J. teaches yoga that is about self-discovery and developing a truly personal (home) practice.”

“As someone who has practiced yoga for 20 years and led asana classes for the past 6 years, J.’s teacher training has been a valuable educational experience for me. I came to the course wanting to better understand why and how yoga works, and our inquiry together is helping me develop a fuller context for my practice and my teaching. I initially trained in a more mainstream vinyasa style, but overtime my practice and teaching have evolved to a slower, more contemplative style of yoga, and J.’s teaching is helping support and develop this evolution. I’ve been a podcast fan for several years, and I find J. to be very true to who he presents himself as on the podcast.”

“For me it feels like what a real teacher training is”
