Monthly Mentorship for Yoga Teachers
A small, ongoing group for yoga teachers who want to keep learning Together.
What this is:
The monthly mentorship is a small, paid group of working yoga teachers who meet with me twice a month over Zoom. We meet to study together, to practise together, and to talk about the students we’re teaching and the questions our own practice is raising.
It is an ongoing working relationship and a steady space to keep deepening your teaching, with a teacher who knows your name, your students, and what you’re working with.
The mentorship draws on everything I’ve been studying and teaching for the last twenty years, Yin, Ashtanga, adaptive practice, the nervous system, and the classical texts and is shaped month by month by what members are working with.
Who this is for:
This mentorship is designed for working yoga teachers looking for a place to keep learning on an ongoing basis. Most members are people who have been teaching for at least a year, who are drawn to slower, inquiry-led work, and who want to be in a small enough group to be genuinely seen.
Members tend to share some of these qualities:
Qualified yoga teachers with at least a year of teaching experience
Drawn to a slower, inquiry-led way of working, interested in depth and the long arc of the craft
Working with (or wanting to work with) Yin, restorative, adaptive practice, and nervous-system aware teaching
Open to being seen, to being in a small group where the teacher knows them and their students
Able to commit to live attendance most months, because the relational quality is much of what makes this different
If you are newer to teaching, or your motivation is primarily to obtain CEUs, you are still welcome to get in touch. We can have a conversation about whether the mentorship is the right fit for you now, or whether something else might serve you better this season.
How it works:
Two 90-minute live Zoom sessions per month, across a monthly theme.
Session 1 - Teaching. I teach on the month's theme, with discussion and Q&A. Recent and upcoming themes include: teaching the nervous system; foundations of Yin and the archetypes; breath as regulation; intelligent sequencing; teaching to older bodies; language and consent in the cue.
Session 2 - Practice & Enquiry. We practise together, and hold space for case discussion, your real students, your real questions, and feedback on your teaching.
Between sessions, members have access to:
Recordings of both monthly calls (12-month access)
A private community space for questions, discussion, and staying in touch with each other
A simple monthly practice brief summarising the theme
An optional monthly reading or listening pack
Continuing Education Units (CEUs) through Yoga Alliance YACEP

FAQs
-
Life happens. Calls are recorded, and members have access to recordings for 12 months. The mentorship is built around live attendance most months; that is where the relationships form. Missing the occasional call is part of being human and is honoured.
-
Yes. Calls are held at a time suitable for the UK and European time zones (usually early evening UK time).
Members from the US East Coast, most of Europe and parts of Africa can attend live comfortably. From other time zones, the recordings and community space are there for you, and many members have made this work well for them.
-
Not quite. Yoga therapy is its own formal path of study, with its own training and certification (IAYT). The mentorship is nervous-system aware and therapeutically informed, and it deepens how you teach yoga, but is teacher development rather than yoga therapy training.
-
Not as a standard part of the mentorship. Members are warmly welcome to book individual sessions with me at my private session rate when they want focused one-to-one time.
-
The mentorship is capped at 15 members. When we’re at that capacity, a waitlist opens, and members are welcomed in as spaces become available.
