Why this YTT?

There are thousands of YTTs out there, so why choose this one?

Not all YTTs are created equally.

In this training we do things differently in order to overcome the common problems that many students struggle with.

This is the perfect training for you if…

You want to teach yoga.

Not just deepen your own practice.

You want hands-on experience from day one.

Because you can’t teach yoga from a textbook.

You know yoga is for everybody and every body.

But you’re smart enough to know it’s not a one-size-fits-all approach.

You want to explore yoga beyond the asanas.

And love the idea of a training that balances deep learning with lighthearted teaching, and blends the wisdom of yoga’s spiritual roots with modern science.

You want more than just a certificate.

You’re looking for ongoing support, mentorship, and practical business guidance to help you kick-start your teaching career with confidence.

But we won’t be the best fit if…

You’re looking for a yoga retreat.

This is an intensive teacher training, not a holiday.

You’re signing up purely for personal growth.

If you’re definitely not interested in teaching, my yoga student training is for you.

You want a cookie-cutter approach.

This training will challenge you to think, not just follow.

You’re not ready to put in the effort.

This training is engaging, rewarding, and fun, but it’s also intensive and requires commitment.

You’re looking to master the pretzel-like poses.

We’ll play around with peak postures, but this training is more about an accessible, inclusive and holistic approach to yoga that extends far beyond handstands.

I have three main goals when teaching this training.

White number one on a dark gray circle background.

For you to fall in love with yoga all over again (and again, and again).

I want to help you create a more meaningful connection to the practice - both on and off your yoga mat.

White number two inside a dark circle background.

To equip you with everything you need to become an authentic and badass yoga teacher.

This training is hands-on from the start, so you’ll leave with the confidence and excitement to start teaching as soon as you head home.

White number three on a dark gray circular background.

To have fun while doing it.

Yoga is really important, but that doesn’t mean it has to be so serious. We balance deep discussions and geeky topics with a little laughter - it’s better for learning.

Hi, I’m Jess!

I’ll be your lead teacher throughout the YTT and I’m excited to support you on your journey from student to teacher.

With almost a decade of full-time teaching experience and thousands of hours of study, I’m here to help you understand the why behind the what.

While I’ll be delivering the majority of the content, I’m joined by a team of amazing guest teachers who bring their specialised knowledge to our online sessions.

The rhythm

This gives you a general idea of how the course is structured, but each day will be different depending on the content we’re covering.

Please note that 1st August is a day off.

Summer in Geneva

The city comes alive in the summer and (in my biased opinion) it’s one of the best places to enjoy the long evenings. The training will finish around 19.30 most days, but sometimes we’ll stop a little earlier so you have time for a lake dip, river swim, or just some extra time to relax.

During summer there’s so much to do - whether you want to enjoy the outdoor cinema, sunrise concerts, or live music in the park. These are all free activities provided by the city, and a wonderful way to unwind after a day of learning.
