ABOUT
Anchor 1

If you not only aspire to teach aerial yoga (or one of our other modalities we teach in the studio), but would like to further your practice and advance your teaching skills, this mentorship is perfect for you! Not only will you refine your teaching style, find your voice as a teacher, but you will elevate your assisting and sequencing skills alongside one of our lead teachers and mentors.

 

Real talk? At some point, EVERY teacher questions their ability to share the gift of a practice (we’ve been there too). Whether you are fresh out of your teacher training feeling like you don’t know where to begin, or maybe you feel intimidated after having taught a few classes that didn't go liked you planned, or maybe you are several years into your teaching with regular students and classes but feeling like you are teaching the same stuff and you’ve lost that spark for teaching — our apprenticeship program is designed to meet you where you are! 

 

During this 8-week experience, you will work with us to gain feedback on your teaching, deepen your study of the practice, collaborate and connect with other teachers, and receive one-on-one support.​

​

We look forward to working with you, growing with you and being with you in your journey!

​

Namaste,

HOW IT WORKS

We do not follow a formal curriculum for our apprenticeship program. Rather, we allow the 8-weeks to unfold and be guided by your ability and specific interests in and around what you are doing and learning. The apprenticeship will include shadow teaching, assisting practice, practice teaching, and actual class teaching. All this is done with the support and guidance of your mentor! 

 

  • Shadow Teaching — Provide backup support / assistance to your mentor in classes | 1x every 2 weeks

  • Assistance Practice — Provide hands-on assistance with mentor’s supervision | 1x every 2 weeks

  • Practice Teaching — Lead and guide sequences to your mentor during training | 1x every 2 weeks

  • Class Teaching — Lead and guide two community classes with the assistance of your mentor

  • Attending Classes — Attend various Elevate Yoga classes each week | up to 3x per week

  • Mentoring Sessions — Attend and actively participate in mentoring sessions | 1x every 2 weeks

​

Apprentices will participate in weekly 1x1 sessions with your mentor that will include practice teaching opportunities, discussions, self-reflection exercises and open time for questions and dialog. This is your dedicated time to work on the techniques that are important to you!

     

Community classes will be offered to our Elevate Community and your friends and family. These will be scheduled towards the end of the program and may take place in the 4 weeks following the program, if needed.
