Each course is taught by Janana and is held at the Evergreen Yoga Studio in Bethesda. This allows participants to live at home while receiving the training during each two weekend 32-hour intensive. All classes meet from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Lunch takes place on a tree-shaded patio where Shelly facilitates discussions on the practical and business considerations of teaching yoga.
