You are not alone in this—Mentorship for Yoga Teachers
No one tells you how to build a career as a yoga teacher.
I remember wishing that I had some guidance when I started teaching. I didn’t know the simplest things—did I need insurance, where should I start as a new teacher? I also remember being so anxious about approaching a studio and feeling really alone.
The mentorship program is designed to solve these problems, and even more so, help you to build a specialization and a career as a yoga teacher.
What we work on
Individualized feedback on your teaching
Pricing, insurance, and the business questions nobody covered in your 200-hour
How to approach a studio — and what to say when you do
Finding and developing your specialty
Research guidance, writing support, and editing
Career planning, and honest check-ins on how it's going
Out of our sessions, we build your blueprint: a personal manual with your reading list, research and writing support, and guidance for your final presentation, shaped around your interests, strengths, challenges, and final project.*
*Blueprint provided for Certification Program students and anyone who books five or more sessions.
Two ways to work with me
If you're in the 300-hour Certification Program.
Four one-hour mentorship sessions are included in your enrollment, along with observation and feedback on your teaching and a 30-minute session to build your program. I’ll also guide you through your independent study and your Body of Work.

If you’re not on the certification path. We can still work together. $145 per hour, scheduled around your life, on whatever you’re facing right now — a class that isn’t landing, a studio you want to approach, a workshop you’ve meant to build for two years. No application, no commitment beyond the next session.
Independent Study & Your Body of Work
For Certification Students
Over the length of your certification, you'll document and build your body of work from the trainings you take and your research into your area of expertise. As a former writer, researcher, and program developer with extensive knowledge in fields related to yoga, I'll give you a great deal of help and guidance.
You’ll receive: one-on-one guidance based on more than a decade of studio ownership, nearly 20 years of teaching and fifteen years as a professional writer, program developer and researcher. You’ll take home a reading list tailored to you, resources and contacts in your area to explore for your presentation or meeting, research and writing support, and guidance for your final presentation.
What's asked of you: personal practice and documentation · development of specialized sequences, class plans, private sessions, retreat plans, or business presentations · a research project and presentation in your area of interest · a teaching or offering practicum · regular reflection and integration

The Teacher’s Circle
Mentorship is one-on-one. The Circle is a room of teachers. Twice a month, teachers gather for a class built for teachers and a case study discussion. This is the community that so often disappears after training.
