Knowing What Your Next Steps Are

​

After completing yoga teacher training, a crucial step to becoming the

yoga teacher you aspire to is having a helpful road map to get there.

If you have questions on what those next steps are, you are in good company.

This is one of the biggest challenges yoga teachers face.

DEFINE AND REFINE

There are key elements to staying inspired, maintaining openness to learning, engaging fully with your own practice and your students. We have compiled this information to enrich your experience as a yoga teacher and up-level your teaching skills.

 

Collectively, with over two decades of teaching yoga, four decades as yoga students and working closely with other yoga teachers, we understand receiving support, advice and inspiration, as well as someone to ask those complicated questions to is a tremendous boost to you, as a teacher. This Mentorship Program meets you exactly where you are, gives you the opportunity to check in with someone who can understand where you're at. We offer solid guidance on next steps, offering useful advice on critical teaching skills, and provide compassionate support.

FILL IN THE GAPS
