Mentorship Programme

This 6 month continued learning mentorship programme is open to teacher trainees who are currently completing their 200hr or beyond course or teachers who have completed a Teacher Training Certificate (min 200 hours).

This mentorship is aimed at giving teachers a thorough understanding around incorporating yoga as part of body oriented therapies. It is intended for teachers who wish to incorporate a trauma focused lens on their teaching and for those who wish to develop their understanding of the principles of teaching students with anxiety and depression in a safe, inclusive and healing way.

From the time of my very first job in a greengrocers at age 14 until now, I have realised that regardless of what we do, we relate and form relationships with others, WE are triggered by others and at times they are very much triggered by US, as we all experience the ‘other’ through our the lens of our own experience.
