Teacher Mentoring
Why mentoring?
Direct, informed, and meaningful feedback is so hard to come by as a yoga teacher. You might fumble your way through teaching using trial and error and hoping for the best. Or maybe you take a training with a large group of people; everything makes perfect sense in the moment, but then you feel uncertain when you try to apply the principles afterward. Maybe you get occasional feedback from a student (I loved it! I hated it!), but it doesn’t help to evolve your teaching. Mentoring sessions are an effective way to get personalized, detailed instruction so that you can truly develop as a teacher. You choose the focus. You choose the investment. You take control of your teaching.
