PREMA SUMMER TEACHING MENTORSHIP [With Amanda Harding & Bobbie Marchand]


  • Prema Brooklyn 976 Fulton Street Brooklyn, NY, 11238 United States (map)

A Small-Group Mentorship for Yoga Teachers

Limited to 4 teachers, this is a practicum-based mentorship designed as a hands-on learning experience with the emphasis not on learning new theory, but on applying your existing knowledge, receiving specific personal feedback, and developing greater confidence, communication and skill. In a saturated market, step into what makes your class authentically unique and gain insight and clarity. While personalized feedback is a central component of the mentorship, some of the most valuable learning occurs through observing fellow teachers teach, engaging in thoughtful discussion, and hearing multiple perspectives throughout the feedback process.
