This mentoring programme will not teach you how to grow your Instagram followers, I will not teach you how to take great yoga photos or support you with branding and website design. There are plenty of people out there skilled in those things that can help you, I can direct you to some of them, but it is not me. The Art of Teaching mentoring programme is for helping you really solidify what it is you’re teaching, why you’re teaching it and how to best do that, so you can ensure that you are both honouring the practice of yoga, whilst teaching in a way that feels authentic and true to you, and most importantly providing your students with the best possible experience. 

​

The majority of professions out there provide you with a network of colleagues, managers, directors and organisational structures but as yoga teachers, once we’ve finished our 200 hour yoga teacher training, often we’re on our own, with no access to consistent feedback, no performance assessments, no quarterly appraisals and no ongoing support. This can make it challenging to really know what areas of your work need more development and attention and make growth a slower than need be process.

​

This mentoring programme is designed to support you navigating the path of teaching and is structured around three pivotal pillars, supporting yourself (self-nurturance), supporting your teaching (pedagogical refinement) and supporting your business (career advancement). The progression of each month will primarily be shaped by your specific  needs in each of these three categories, however we will also work with a different focus each month to provide a broad and comprehensive growth experience.

 

The programme will require a time commitment of around 75 hours over the course of 12 weeks. Whilst this might seem like a considerable investment, I genuinely believe each hour included is a necessary and valuable part of your teaching development. Some of the hours included may already be a part of your current schedule, such as home practice.
