‘Mentorship’ has a long history in the yoga world. The Guru/Disciple relationship has been around since Vedic times. While I’m not making any claims to be your Guru, it can be difficult to find a teacher you like who will take you under her wing. I will give you that ‘special attention’ that you need for your personal growth as a student and teacher of yoga.

I often meet practitioners who yearn for a spiritual path, a meaningful yoga practice and an authentic life. Young teachers often feel like they’re swimming in uncharted waters. Maybe you’ve just finished a Yoga Teacher Training and not sure what to do next? You’ve spent time and money on trainings and workshops, but still don’t have the confidence to teach. It can be challenging to find a balanced lifestyle teaching yoga where you are paid what you’re worth.

You need someone who is doing what you want to do. And who can help you achieve your goals to become the kind of teacher you want to be with the career you’d like to have. A bespoke mentorship program, will give you ‘special attention’ to find your voice, step into your power and become an extraordinary yoga teacher.
