The Mentorship
Here’s the thing about 200 hour yoga programs. They are necessary. We learn A LOT. But often times, we come out feeling like we still don’t know how to teach yoga. Or if we do feel like we can teach, we still are craving the intentional, knowledgeable, inspirational foundation that drew so many of us to yoga in the first place.
The truth is, that level of know-how takes years to refine. Years of experience, trainings, and developing our own practice.
The Mentorship is meant to act as a practical bridge between your 200 hour teacher training and whatever you want to do next. The intention? To get you actually teaching and finding your voice as a teacher so that you can start to build, now.
Join me on a 4 month journey where we work closely on YOU, YOUR PRACTICE, and YOUR TEACHING so that when you come out, you are a hireable, knowledgeable, and confident yoga teacher.

THE MENTORSHIP
Calling all 200 hour TT grads - this is for you!
The Mentorship is the project I’ve been wanting to launch for the longest time - because my own mentors completely revolutionized the way that I teach yoga.
After years of developing my own techniques, best practices, and skills for offering a life-changing yoga experience to my students, I am excited to share those practices with fellow teachers who also want to refine and uplevel their practical teaching skills.
Through the Mentorship you will gain:
Practical teaching experience
Practice auditioning for those nail-biting yoga job auditions
Playlisting tools to build intentional, dynamic, unique playlists that feel like YOU
A framework to develop unique, interesting and intelligent sequencing
References that you can use for your own teaching dharma - utilizing metaphorical, seasonal, ayurvedic, philosophic, and yogic material to teach beyond the poses
Alignment feedback to ensure that YOUR practice is in a solid, embodied place
The opportunity to apply to assist my upcoming yoga retreat to Azores, Portugal in September
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Tell me more about the curriculum
Each month of the Mentorship’s curriculum (and what you work on teaching) will be based around a topic. Month one will be alignment, month 2 will be teaching to a peak pose, month 3 will be yamas and niyamas, and month 4 will be putting it all together. All of this is designed to get you thinking strategically and innovatively to create sequences that embody the spirit of yoga.
Where do we meet?
This mentorship program takes place over Zoom, so that it fits our time, our schedule, and so that if you don’t live in NYC, we can still work together.
How long is the program?
We work together for 4 months, however, sometimes individuals may want to do a second, even more in depth mentorship, and so in that case, we can do another round for 2-4 months.
When does it start?
I am currently taking applicants for 1:1 summertime mentorships - we can begin any time from June 10th - June 30th.
What is the schedule like?
Once we determine where our schedules overlap, we will meet twice a week on Zoom for three weeks out of the month. The fourth week will be an integration week for you to finish up that month’s reading, work on your home practice, and think over questions that may be coming up.
During “on” weeks, one session will be me teaching you, plus whatever curriculum we are currently working on (about 90 minutes). The second session will be you teaching me, feedback from me to you, and time for any questions you have. You will also have access to me via email and text for support as needed throughout our time together. I am here for you!
Is there homework?
Think of it more as home play. Part of this course is designed to help you develop your personal practice. Yes, there will be reading and journaling, as well as your own time spent sequencing and playlisting for your class each week, but we will also explore practices for your own self care.
Do you offer payment plans?
I do offer payment plans, as I know that it can be challenging to pay for a mentorship in full. This can be discussed during our exploratory call.
