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.

How do we do it?

  • Pre-session questionnaire/discussion to fine-tune expectations for all and set clear goals and objectives 

  • All virtual personalized sessions

  • Class audit: direct, detailed feedback on a class (or classes) taught by you

  • Review of your written sequences outside of sessions

  • Homework and practice for between sessions

  • Access to sequence portfolio
