“Working with Francie one-on-one has helped me deepen my knowledge of both yoga teaching, asana, philosophy and living a more balanced awake life in general. It has made me a better more effective teacher and business owner. My growth, learning and the support I’ve received is priceless”
What is a Yoga Teacher Mentorship?
The first role of the teacher is to be humble…the character, the courage, the grace, and the magnitude of a person is in practicing humility. One who cannot go under can never grow. The first power of the seed is to go under, and then grow. – Yogi Bhajan
Mentoring is more than just having an adventure of knowledge and learning. It’s about developing a deep relationship of genuine, satisfying connection and growth – body, mind and heart.
Whether you’re starting out as a yoga teacher or whether you are experienced but want to develop your skills and take it to the next level, having a mentor can help you evolve as a person and teacher, and help you stand out as a Yoga Teacher and become the Yogi you want to be.
Our intimate and deepening YACEP courses and mentoring sessions provide you a rich experience with Yoga, and an individualized framework to go deeper into your practice and areas of interest with a qualified and experience mentor.
Certification provides you with more credentials to help you stand out and let others in your community know your dedication to Yoga and ongoing learning
