YOGA MENTORING & TEACHER SUPPORT

What is Mentoring?

“Mentoring”

is a modern word that describes an integral part of the tradition of

yoga throughout history. It includes the guidance given between teacher

and trainee or student, as well as the ongoing professional and personal

guidance necessary for all yoga teachers, at all levels of seniority

and experience, as part of the continuing journey of yoga. (source Yoga Australia website)

Our sessions will combine

a) group practice of the more subtle aspects of yoga

b) themed discussions for each term

c) consideration of other personal or professional development work

d) a forum to raise questions or seek advice from the group

e) a way to enjoy the support of a committed yoga community

Why yoga mentoring?

Teaching yoga is a journey of spiritual self-discovery where your

integrity, professionalism and unselfish ideals may be challenged by the

daily pressures of life and the commercial realities of teaching for a

living…

sound familiar?

These weekly mentoring sessions will offer an invaluable resource for teachers of all yoga styles or committed yogis to:

• Support your own personal progress and practice in yoga
• Get feedback and the support of a group of fellow teachers to enhance the quality and depth of your professional teaching
• Learn new techniques and methods to advance your teaching skills
• Take care of yourself (body, mind and bank balance) as a teacher
• Earn CPD points for Yoga Australia members (This is an annual requirement for YA membership)
