Teacher Mentorship
STRENGTHEN YOUR STUDY
1-1 Personalized Mentorship Program
Mentorship is an opportunity to refine your skills & vision as a teacher. To develop tools to better hone in to learning how to read and navigate a room of students.
It can take many years of teaching to learn all the intricate signals that are being communicated through students’ bodies, to learn how to articulate what you’re teaching, as well as to create and structure a great practice that is potent, inspiring and challenging, rich and meaningful, so that your students leave uplifted, open, and ready to live their lives.
A personalized mentorship program is customized to offer the unique opportunity to fine tune and develop personal skill sets that are relevant and specific to you. When we work together in this way, it accelerates your teaching skills. The teaching becomes more present, grounded, and available for your students .
My goal is to observe where you are in your teaching and to help you fine tune on how you’d like to better serve your students and yourself. Together we will develop how you see, listen, anticipate, articulate, and integrate your material. I will learn and discover what you already know well - your superpowers- in order to offer you more valuable skills and techniques that I have acquired from my many years of teaching.
In working together my hope is to help open your blind spots, to cultivate curiosity for new ways to meet a moment, an experience, or a pose, from the information, tools, and techniques that we build together.
It is a joy and privilege to teach you and to be there by your side.
