What sets us apart
A full year to learn, at a pace that fits your life
Many teacher trainings pack everything into a few intense weeks. Ours gives you a full year, with two tracks to choose from, so the training fits around your work, your family and your own practice.
That time is the difference. You get to slow down, immerse yourself in what you are learning and feel it in your own body before you ever teach it to someone else. Whether you choose the 200-hour or the 300-hour track, you will finish as a teacher who knows the material because you had the time to live it.

“The 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training at Zen Landing was a remarkable experience for me. I was hesitant at first because of the time and financial commitment. Could I make that commitment for myself? Eventually I was guided by my heart and I signed up with Jess. Yoga is something that I am passionate about...the philosophy, the movement of my body and the awareness of my spirit. It helps me to accept myself and my reality. I did not think that I would teach yoga, after all I am 72 yrs old. The training changed my perspective. YTT helped me to realize my spiritual nature. The training brought me confidence in myself and balance. I became kind and loving to myself at last. I reset my priorities and can maintain calm in the storm. I teach a few classes now and find real joy in their preparation. I want to share with others the peace and happiness that yoga practice can provide.”
The monthly rhythm

Both tracks meet one Wednesday evening and one Sunday afternoon a month from April on. January through March are given to the Yin and Yoga Nidra trainings, with one Teach & Reflect Sunday in February. Saturdays are for specialty trainings and Immersion days, and we do not meet every Saturday.

Full days of practice, lecture, anatomy, philosophy and workshop time for the Advanced Track, with a one-hour integration break from 12:00 to 1:00pm and a half-hour break at 4:00pm. Both tracks share six Immersion mornings: February 13 and the morning of each Reiki class.
Midweek Mat Lab

“Jess... I want to tell you how deeply grateful I am for this YTT experience. I came into the training thinking I’d just deepen my practice and maybe meet some new people, but it ended up becoming something so much more meaningful for me. It truly became a soul exploration that led me to reassess my life, career, and gave me a community.
Because of this journey, I’m now moving toward becoming an independent practitioner (as of yesterday), which feels both scary and exciting—but also really aligned. I don’t think I would have gotten here without this training and without you.
Thank you for not letting me give up when things felt hard, and for believing in me and seeing something in me that I’m only just beginning to recognize in myself. Your support, guidance, and presence meant more to me than I can fully express. This experience has changed me in such a beautiful way, and I will carry what I learned with me always. I’m so incredibly grateful for you 💗”

Jess Beyer
Creatrix, Zen Landing Wellness Studio · 500-hour certified yoga teacher · Licensed Massage Therapist · Reiki Master · Alchemical Alignment Practitioner · Flow Breathwork Practitioner
A pivotal turning point in my life happened in 2015 when I took a leap into the very first yoga teacher training at Grow Yoga in Galloway, NJ. That experience cracked my heart wide open, deepened my connection to myself, and gave me the courage to begin walking a path rooted in healing, intuition, and service. My journey into energy work had already begun through Reiki, where I received my first & second attunement and later completed my Master Level attunement. Reiki taught me the importance of presence, energetic awareness, and creating space for the body to soften and restore itself naturally.
Soon after, I became a Licensed Massage Therapist, further deepening my passion for helping people reconnect with their bodies through compassionate, intuitive care and therapeutic touch.
I later opened Zen Landing Wellness Studio as a space where people could slow down, breathe deeply, and feel supported in their healing journey. I am a 500-hour certified yoga teacher and graduate of Canmore Counselling’s Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School, with additional training in prenatal yoga, yin yoga, creative sequencing, kids yoga, Advanced Somatic Training (Alchemical Alignment), and Flow Breathwork, all of which I weave into my offerings. I am currently continuing my studies through an 800-hour Yoga Therapy program through Canmore Counselling’s Yoga Psychology School, where I continue exploring the relationship between the nervous system, trauma, movement, breath, and emotional healing.
My work is rooted in both modern neuroscience and ancient healing traditions. I blend science with soul, structure with intuition, and always come back to this truth: healing happens when we feel safe enough to be in our bodies. Whether through yoga, bodywork, breathwork, energy healing, or simply being witnessed with compassion, my intention is to help people feel good in their bodies, reconnect with themselves, and remember that healing does not have to happen through force — it can happen through softness, safety, and support.
At home, I am mama to five beautiful girls — Delilah, Tallulah, Fiona, Penelope, and our sweet angel baby, Aaliyah 💗 They inspire me daily and constantly remind me of the magic this life holds. I share my life with my deeply loving and endlessly supportive husband, Drew, who would likely just shrug and grab a toolbox if I announced I was building a pirate-themed miniature golf course in our backyard. Together, we love on our sweet rescue pit bull, Snoop, who keeps all of us grounded in unconditional love and plenty of snuggles.

Jaime K. Brown, BA, BSN, RN
Nurse, Mystic, Spiritual Teacher · Energetic Anatomy Workshop Series
Jaime is a local nurse, energy healer, and psychic medium who is passionate about the positive effects of energy healing and spirituality on overall well-being.
Jaime has a BA in biopsychology from The College of New Jersey and a BSN from Thomas Jefferson University. Jaime has a background in biomedical research and always considered herself a skeptic. Jaime’s spirit guides had other plans and called her to the world of holistic healing through her own personal health struggles. After several surgeries and not being able to walk for a year, a combination of spiritual and energetic modalities restored her well-being. Through this process of healing she found meditation and her psychic gifts opened wide. Jaime is Reiki-attuned and self-taught in the principles of Chinese Medicine and offers a unique blend of spiritual and energetic modalities in her readings. Jaime enjoys teaching people how to open up to mystical experiences beyond the ordinary, as she believes this is the inspirational spark that leads to positive change.
“Becoming a yoga teacher has been a dream of mine for many years. During Covid, I took an online certification course. However after completing the necessary work, I didn’t feel confident to teach.
I started attending classes at Zen Landing, and very quickly realized what I was missing. I was missing the hands on, face to face, interaction. Once I saw that Jess was offering the training at zen, I signed up!! I couldn’t be happier that I did.
Jess, is an amazing instructor, teacher, mentor, and human. Her knowledge and understanding of all aspects of yoga go far beyond the mat.
She surrounds herself with an amazing community of people that make you feel like family and accepted for who you are instantly. During our training we attended several workshops. Every instructor that we had brought a deeper understanding and insight that allowed me to really understand and appreciate their knowledge.
Because of Jess’s training and the whole Zen Landing experience, I can make my dream my reality. I plan on teaching at Zen Landing and passing it on through me.”
