Yoga Mentorship

“There is nothing to teach man,

you can only help him find out

what is already inside him”

~ Galileo Galilei ~

Although most basic education programs cover satisfactorily the key issues (anatomy, alignment, adjustments, etc.) we all recognize that even the best 200 hour basic education provides just one foundation. After graduation, a new phase begins for each new teacher that requires constructive assessment, specific guidance and deepening in order to discover, develop and express their particular potential.

“Yoga Mentorship” is a personalized program tailored to each participant’s personal needs. It’s a personal guidance for Yoga Teachers and its designed for any graduate of a 200 hour basic education who wants to improve, deepen, reassess their yoga knowledge and feel confident with the personal guidance of an experienced mentor. Continuous study and dedication are essential to expressing our uniqueness in the teaching of yoga in the most excellent way.
