Mentorship program

After my first 200-hour training, I was eager to start teaching. However, I was humbly aware that though I had a basic understanding of the asanas, the context and history of the practice, some basic anatomy, and some sequencing guidelines, I was left with navigating the rest on my own. It was then and there that I chose to sign up for a mentorship, and it was the best decision that I made.

My 1:1 work with my teacher helped to refine my cuing and sequencing, get me comfortable holding space and giving hands-on assists, and most importantly, offered me an experienced mentor who advocated, coached, and supported me for years afterwards. From there, my teaching career began to flourish, and I never stopped learning from qualified teachers.

This 1:1 attention and mentorship guided me from when I was a beginner teacher feeling like a giant imposter, to navigating making yoga a career and successful business, and continuing to keep me fresh in an industry that can easily lead to burnout and fatigue.

The tradition of yogic wisdom is built on parampara : disciplical knowledge. The wisdom and expertise that my many teachers and mentors have taught and shared with me, I pass along, and you will too. It’s what makes this tradition so rich.

My mentorship program is designed to meet you exactly where you are as a practitioner and teacher and to help you build a sustainable career that supports you energetically and economically as you build the yoga business you desire. Through tailored 90-minute weekly classes over the span of 12 weeks, either in person or online, we’ll work alongside each other to support the beautiful long-term vision of your teaching. 

What the 1:1 mentorship can offer you

  • Observing and receiving feedback on teaching
    I’ll observe your teaching and provide constructive feedback on teaching skills, alignment cues, and class management. 

  • Crafting effective yoga sequences
    With my guidance, you’ll design well-structured, intelligen,t and engaging yoga classes. 

  • Developing a unique teaching voice
    I’ll help you discover your authentic voice and express your unique perspective on yoga.

  • Integrating yoga philosophy and principles                                      
    One of my favorite topics to explore in depth is yoga philosophy. Whether we delve into the Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, or Devi Mahatmyam you’ll gain a better understanding of these texts, how to thoughtfully apply them to your own lif,e and integrate them into your teaching and craft impactful dharma talks.

  • Exploring subtle body practices
    We’ll go beyond the basics you learn in training to understand and feel confident teaching more in-depth pranayama, bandha, kriya, and meditation techniques. 

  • Learning how to chant and play basic harmonium                                                 
    For mentees who want to explore mantra and chanting with or without incorporating the harmonium and shruti box. You don’t have to be a musician or even sing well to learn!

  • Cultivate Bhakti & create a daily sadhana                                                          
    Learn how to develop a sustainable spiritual practice using Bhakti - the yoga of devotion. We’ll incorporate Bhakti Shastra (texts), mantra, and other rituals to create a daily routine.
