TGY TEACHER MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

Are you a recent graduate of a 200-hour yoga teacher certification program looking to begin your teaching career?  Do you still have questions you feel could use a skilled teacher’s eye to help you hone your classes?

We’re here to guide you on your teaching journey!

About the Program

Available to approved graduates of a 200-hour teacher training course, this 2 month apprenticeship program is designed to give you the hands-on experience, skills and individual guidance needed to take your teaching to a whole new level.

Program Includes

  • One personalized meeting with just you & your Mentor to discuss training similarities and your strengths. This includes a debrief of 'what Grinning is' in terms of sequencing classes, and a training/check in for hands-on assisting.

  • An individualized program to bring you closer to your personal teaching goals i.e.: what class level /style do you want to teach? Where is your ideal class environment (studio, gym, corporate)? How do you want to grow as a teacher?

  • 3 one-on-one sessions where you'll have the opportunity to teach a full 1 hour class to your mentor (and as many friends as you'd like to invite!!) where you'll receive the same feedback form we use for all of our own staff, which offers reflections and insights on places of strength and possible growth.

  • Weekly scheduled classes to assist your mentor; here you'll receive training on; practitioner sign in with MindBody / instruction how to use sound system in studios / how to set a space with lighting levels / usage of props / hands on assists / holding space + facilitation plus an after class 'debrief' on the how's & why's choices your mentor used during class to theme and sequence successfully.

  • Consideration for community class teaching spots: Successful completion of the Mentorship Program and favorable recommendation from your mentor are factors we look closely at when deciding to invite young teachers onto our community teaching, sub list and eventually, permanent teaching staff.
