Meet Your Instructor:

Lead Instructor: Janet Clayton, E-RYT® 200, RYT® 500, YACEP®

Janet is a RYTT 500+ hours and has been sharing the practice of yoga with students all over the world since late 2015. She started her journey studying Ashtanga Yoga in Cape Town South Africa and since her path has led her to explore a variety of styles of Yoga including Yin, Vinyasa, and Forest Yoga. Janet’s classes are a blend of strength and flexibility with an emphasis on fun and lightheartedness.

Yoga for me is a community. A place where I feel safe to let go and check in with me. It’s a way of life, not just something I teach. At home, my practice includes mediation, studying philosophy, Ayurveda chakra balancing practices, and more.  I am always happy to share my knowledge of Yoga, all 8 limbs and welcome any questions and conversations that come my way.

 Lastly, You may not hear Janet close her class with Namaste, for her, it feels more authentic to close with an OM (a vibrational connection) and the word shanti repeated 3x.  shanti means peace in Sanskrit and repeated 3 times means peace for one’s self, peace for you, and peace for all things.  


What Our Graduates Say:

“By using yoga philosophy and paying attention to my body, I was able to learn even more about my body through the training.” - Melissa

“Life-changing experience for me, on and off the mat. Through the training, I strengthened my body, mind, and spirit. I would highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to deepen their practice of yoga, whether or not they want to become a teacher” - Monica

“The benefits stretch into all different aspects of my life. I'm grateful that I was able to work with Janet, and to be part of the first group of students to take the training” - Sarah

“One word to describe this experience: TRANSFORMATIVE. If you're thinking about taking this training, DO IT. There will never be a perfect time or situation, make the time for yourself. Even if you never want to teach, the learning about your own body, mind, and spirit makes this worth EVERY PENNY.”

Commonly asked Questions:

  • Not at all. Some people begin teacher training knowing they want to teach. Others come because they want to understand yoga—and their own practice—on an entirely different level.

    Both belong here.

    You may discover a desire to teach along the way, or you may simply leave with a deeper, more confident relationship with your own practice. There is value in both.

  • You don’t need to arrive already feeling like a yoga teacher. That’s what the training is for.

    You’ll learn, practice, receive feedback, get uncomfortable sometimes, try again, and gradually begin to find your voice as a teacher.

    You don’t have to arrive as a yoga teacher. You just have to arrive willing to become one.

  • You’re definitely not the only one.

    Teaching yoga isn’t about becoming a performer or suddenly turning into the loudest person in the room. It’s about learning how to communicate clearly, confidently, and authentically.

    Throughout training, you’ll have opportunities to practice teaching in a supportive environment so that using your voice begins to feel more natural.

  • You don’t need to become louder to become a great teacher.

    Some of the most impactful teachers have a quiet, grounded presence. Teacher training is about becoming comfortable being heard—not changing who you are.

  • Confidence usually doesn’t come first.

    Practice does. Experience does. Repetition does. And then confidence begins to catch up.

    You’re not expected to walk into teacher training already confident enough to lead a room. Developing that confidence is part of the process.

  • At some point, you probably will. And you’ll be okay.

    Learning to teach isn’t about memorizing the perfect sequence. It’s about understanding movement, sequencing, breath, and the intention behind what you’re teaching well enough that you can confidently find your way forward.

    Learning how to recover and adapt is part of becoming a teacher.

  • You will.

    Every teacher does.

    You’ll lose your words. Mix up your right and left. Forget something you planned to teach. And you’ll learn how to breathe, recover, adapt, and keep going.

    Being a good teacher isn’t about never making mistakes. It’s about becoming comfortable enough in your knowledge that a mistake doesn’t derail you.

  • Even better.

    You’re not here to learn someone else’s yoga voice.

    You’re here to find yours.

    We want you to learn how to communicate yoga in a way that feels natural, knowledgeable, and authentic to who you are.

  • Someday, they might.

    Being a great teacher doesn’t mean knowing everything. It means having a strong foundation, continuing to learn, and being comfortable saying, “I don’t know—but I can find out.”

    Great teachers remain students, too.

  • You don’t need the perfect practice. You don’t need the perfect handstand. And you certainly don’t need to be able to do every pose.

    Your body is not your résumé.

    You need curiosity, consistency, a willingness to learn, and a desire to better understand the practice.

  • No.

    Being able to put your leg behind your head doesn’t make you more qualified to teach the person standing in front of you.

    Understanding the body, movement, alignment, breath, sequencing, and how to guide different people through a practice matters far more than how your own poses look.

  • A lot more than how to teach yoga poses.

    Our training is rooted in Ashtanga Vinyasa and alignment-focused movement, while exploring anatomy, yoga philosophy, sequencing, teaching methodology, hands-on learning, and the deeper development of your own practice.

    You’ll learn not only what to teach, but begin to understand why you’re teaching it.

  • Our 200-hour training is 100% in person and follows a predictable rhythm so you can plan ahead.

    Training takes place Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for three weekends, followed by one weekend off, repeating for a total of 12 in-person training weekends.

    It’s a commitment—but it’s also a defined season of your life with a beginning, an end, and space built into the schedule.

  • You don’t have to know exactly where teacher training will take you before you begin.

    Maybe you want to teach. Maybe you want to deepen your practice. Maybe something about teacher training keeps pulling at you and you can’t quite explain why.

    Curiosity is enough reason to explore it.

  • Maybe someday.

    Or maybe this is the thing you stop waiting to feel completely ready for.

    You don’t have to have it all figured out before you begin. You just have to be curious enough to take the next step.
