mentorship program
Yoga is a practice that is constantly evolving, and as teachers, hopefully we are too. Our teaching mentorships are specially tailored + crafted for all - regardless of where you live. These intimate mentorships are limited to 10 teachers who have previously completed a 200hr yoga teacher training. Invest in your growth as a teacher of yoga. Both in person and remote options are available. Check out continuing education options with certified YACEP Lindsey Holy.
Format
The first step is to sign up and make your investment. This mentorship works around your schedule and is done entirely over the web. You will receive three lectures in total. These are provided in succession meaning, you won’t get the second lecture until you have completed the first. Once all three lectures have been watched and you’ve taken all your notes and recorded your questions, we set up a chat over FaceTime or WhatsApp to connect and answer any and all questions you have.
Session Guide
Session One: sequencing
In this first lecture we cover the ever-elusive process of writing a sequence. Using vinyasa krama, we go step by step, almost like an algorithm, through how to write and sequence a class with intellect and ease. We will also cover various methods of class sequencing that can be utilized to make your classes both creative + thoughtful.
Session two: Finding Your Voice + Verbal Cueing
Finding your voice as a teacher takes time! For the first few years of your teaching career even, you’ll naturally take on the voice and cues of your own teachers, just as a baby learns to take on the mannerisms of its parents. Finding your own authentic voice is not going to happen in this one session, but the more you practice and the more you teach, the more your own approach to yoga comes forward and your own voice begins to rise.
This session will also cover verbal cueing. Providing impeccable cues is by and large what differentiates a good teacher from a great teacher. We will quickly discuss cues that are ineffective and instead learn to structure our words around clear, concise, directives. You will be provided homework on both aspects of this lecture series in order to practice and hone in on your authentic voice as a teacher.
Session three: Flourish while functioning
In this final module we will discuss how to balance your life as a yoga teacher and business owner, while still finding joy in your own practice. This lecture provides insight into everything from how to optimize your work schedule, discover your own brand, market that brand and create boundaries. There is a lot that goes into being your own boss and its in this module that we make sure that your love of yoga stays in the forefront as you make your way through the frontier of the ‘yoga world’.
