Teacher Mentorship Program

Have you completed a teacher training program but feel like you need more support to refine your teaching skills? Perhaps you are interested in enhancing your sequencing & assisting skills, nurturing a more authentic teaching voice, or working with a specific population like seniors or prenatal students.

Bliss Body Yoga’s Teacher Mentorship Program (TMP) is a continuing education program for yoga teachers interested in expanding their learning and teaching. Through the guidance of a Mentor, you will have extensive opportunities to dedicate yourself to your yogic path and to teaching.

Included in our mentorship program:
  • Individualized approach. Work one on one with a teacher mentor and receive personalized support and guidance along the way.
  • Scheduling flexibility. Our program can be started at any time and concludes 3 months from your chosen start date.
  • 2 private lessons with your teacher mentor designed to explore your personal practice and clarify your teaching goals
  • Opportunities to observe & assist your mentor’s public classes
  • Teaching video project to evaluate and receive vital feedback on areas of refinement
  • Email support from your mentor to provide guidance and accountability to help you reach your goal
  • Community class offering at Bliss aligned with your personal teaching goals

Rededicate yourself to the Yamas and Niyamas of the Yoga Sutras.

Being a yoga teacher means working towards the embodiment of the historical teachings. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali offer a set of ethical principles for all yogis to follow – the Yamas and Niyamas. In line with these ethical principles, Bliss Body Yoga’s TMP invites teachers to cultivate a deeper connection to the yogic path through self-study – Svadhyaya. During the 3 month program, the teacher will connect with a mentor who will guide them along their individual path.
