Teacher mentoring

 
Mentoring

As yoga teachers we are also lifelong students. Often our own emotional and spiritual needs get put on the back burner as we focusing on being of service to our students. We rarely get the chance to work closely with our teachers to refresh our skills and enthusiasm and to bring our fullest selves to our teaching. For those reasons I have developed a couple of programs specifically for restoring this important piece of the holistic picture that has fallen away. These programs offer teachers valuable one-on-one time with me that is tailored to your specific needs and goals. My specialties are: creative and effective sequencing, hands-on assists, creating a nurturing environment where the students can "own their practice", teaching Pre and Postnatal, and working with yoga teachers to integrate their full humanity, humor and passions into their yoga practice and teaching.

Yoga Teacher tune-up

If you are feeling stale in your teaching or wanting some tips and tweaks to be even more effective in group or private classes then you are due for a YOGA TEACHER TUNE-UP! The YTTU consists of a consultation session (30 minutes talking in person or me attending one of your group classes as your guest) plus a 1-hour skill-building session.

$200 initial consultation/session combo , $120 for each additional skill-building 1-hour session

apprenticeship

For a more thorough and deeply personal mentor experience with me you can do a 3-month Apprenticeship. During this time I will work closely with you taking your classes regularly and/or receiving private sessions from you. During the summer months you may have the opportunity to assist me in my rooftop community classes. You and I will also have a weekly Apprentice meeting where you will be able to ask questions, receive feedback, and work on deepening and honing your teaching skills. 

$1,500 for the first 3-month apprenticeship, $1,200 to add on additional 3-month apprenticeship
