Yoga Teacher Mentoring
We offer one-to-one mentoring sessions for yoga teachers
Who is yoga teacher mentoring for?
Everyone can benefit from mentoring when they start out on a new career path.
Sometimes you feel stuck in what your doing like things will never change, or maybe you’re feeling discouraged about the possibilities of growing your yoga offerings and wondering what’s the point, I’m exhausted already!?
Do any of these resonate with you?
Investing in a mentor is directly investing in yourself because we understand the setbacks/challenges/discouragements that most yoga teachers face.
We’ve had to build our own careers through a lot of uncertainty / tough times and we know first-hand how valuable it is to receive mentorship to keep moving forward.
Mentoring can save you a ton of time by helping you figure out where you want to go & how to get there without you having to ‘figure it all out’ on your own. Your time is valuable, use it in a way that works best for you!
Mentors can provide you with motivation, inspiration, tools for success, more confidence and a clear direction to move towards, and are also a great sounding board for setbacks (because we’ve probably had them too!)
Mentoring is for you if you feel like you need some help, someone to really listen to you and who fully gets the issues you’re facing in the competitive yoga teaching world, because we are in this world too!
If you feel like the above applies to you, then consider trying out mentoring!
We have our prices listed below, giving you the option for a one-off session or a discounted package.
You will be able to see the benefits for yourself without any long-term commitment. We want to make this work for you!!
We were both hesitant to reach out to mentors at the beginning, so we fully know the dilemma of feeling like no one can help you out & feeling completely alone as a freelancer/self-employed teacher.
Trust us, you are not alone and that’s exactly why we’ve started Yoga Mentor Academy - to make this self-employed path not only less lonely but a way to be really excited about your job and the possibilities and opportunities that you can create!!
We would not be where we are, either in business or as experienced, professional, well-respected teachers without help from others, and we want to now help you out with the over 20 years of combined experience that we have!
How does that sound to you!?
