New Teacher Mentorship Program

Our 4 month Mentorship Program is designed to bridge the gap between yoga teacher training and teaching in an established yoga studio; helping to build your confidence and refine your teaching in the class style(s) of your choosing. Often new teachers are left to their own devices and trial by fire to figure out what works and what doesn’t. This can mean showing up for classes with no attendees or 1-2 students for weeks on end and fighting off a lot of nerves, doubts and uncertainties as you try to apply what you learned in teacher training out in the real world. Our mentorship program gives you a more optimal experience as a new teacher by pairing you with an experienced instructor for a fully supportive relationship filled with weekly guidance, coaching, inspiration and years of wisdom to draw upon. What you learn in this 4 months will be with you for a lifetime as you get personalized attention to help you shine in your strengths and challenges to help you grow in areas of opportunity as well as advice and tips pulled from your mentor’s years spent refining their craft. They are here to help you break down common new teacher perceptions and barriers that stand in the way of you being an amazing and impactful teacher out of the gate, as you fill classrooms, fill hearts and keep your own cup filled up in the process!

Program Testimonials:

“The mentorship program helped me grow as a teacher immensely! Thinking back to my first practice teach with my mentors, it is awesome to see how much I have learned and developed as a teacher. Without the mentorship program, I would not have the confidence and experience that I feel make me a successful teacher now. I’ve learned so much about cueing, sequencing, modifying, building connections, trusting myself… I could go on and on!” – Kelly R.

“This program gives you a host of different tools you can use to create impactful experiencse in physical, social, and emotional ways. It gives you eyes and ears to question, consider, and adapt. It creates an environment where you can learn, make mistakes, and nurture yourself. I wasn’t sure what to expect. It was a great experience.” – Dan F.
