YOGA TEACHER MENTORSHIP (PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT)

Has it been a while since your yoga teacher training?  
Are there areas in your teaching practice where you would like support in developing confidence?
As an instructor, is there a skill set you feel is underdeveloped? 
The Painted Lotus Yoga and Wellness Yoga Teacher Mentorship Program is a ten week program designed to support yoga instructors in revealing, expanding, and honing their unique skill sets.
Our mentorship program is supplementary and designed as a compliment to a more in-depth yoga teacher training. It is not intended as a stand-alone yoga teacher training and will not provide participants with a Yoga Alliance designation. Yoga instructors currently registered and in good standing with Yoga Alliance are eligible for CEUS with Yoga Alliance. ​

INCLUDED IN YOUR MENTORSHIP PACKAGE:
Special Unlimited Class Pass: Class pass can be used whether mentee audits or participates in classes, or does a little of both. Mentee can attend any regularly scheduled class offered at PLYW with the requirement that at least 5 of those classes are classes taught by mentor (Clarissa Boggess). Exclusions apply.

You are required to participate in a minimum of one class per week, whether your mentor’s classes or another teacher’s class (5 classes must be taught by your mentor). You may audit the class, participate as a student, or both.
