Mentoring for Yoga Teachers
Who Feel Out of Place

A private space to think, question, and refine your teaching

I work privately with yoga teachers who feel out of place in the modern yoga world.

Often, these are teachers who are experienced, thoughtful, and committed, but who no longer recognise themselves in the way yoga is commonly taught, packaged, or promoted. They may feel technically capable, but uncertain about how to teach with integrity in a culture that rewards performance, speed, and certainty.

Mentoring is not remedial training, and it is not about fixing you.

It is a space to slow things down, think clearly, and refine your teaching in a way that aligns with your values, your body, and your students.

Is this for you?

This mentoring is for teachers who:

Have trained or taught for a while, but feel increasingly disconnected from mainstream yoga culture
Care about adaptation, breath, and long-term development rather than peak poses or rigid formulas
Feel uneasy with one-size-fits-all teaching, but are not sure how to articulate an alternative
Want somewhere they can speak honestly without having to perform confidence or certainty

You do not need to be full-time.
You do not need to be visible or established.
You do not need a big following, a polished brand, or a clear plan.

You do need to care about teaching well.

If you are looking for hype, quick fixes, or someone to tell you exactly what to do, this is probably not the right space.

What we actually work on

Mentoring is shaped by what you bring, but commonly includes:

Clarifying your teaching approach so it feels coherent rather than borrowed or pieced together
Thinking through class planning and sequencing in a way that is adaptable and student-centred
Exploring how breath, intention, and structure work together over time
Untangling confusion or fatigue that can arise when “doing it properly” starts to feel heavy
Making sense of where you fit, and where you do not, in the wider yoga landscape

This is not about copying my way of teaching.

It is about helping you find a way of teaching that you can stand behind quietly and confidently.

How this mentoring is different

Many teachers look for mentoring when they feel stuck, but worry that asking for help means they are behind.

In my experience, the opposite is true.

Teachers seek mentoring when they are ready to think more deeply, not when they are failing.

This work assumes intelligence, curiosity, and lived experience. It is collaborative rather than directive. We slow things down enough for you to understand what you are already doing, and what you want to develop next.

How mentoring is used

Mentoring is not something most teachers need continuously; many come once or twice to think something through clearly, while others choose to work together more regularly when they are in a phase of deeper study or development.

There is no expectation of ongoing commitment.
The work is designed to support clarity, not dependency.

Practical details

Mentoring is offered in two-hour blocks

Sessions take place online
Blocks are used within a defined period, so the work stays focused
Ongoing work is optional and always discussed explicitly

Fee: £200 for a two-hour mentoring block

If cost is something you are weighing carefully, it may help to know that many teachers use mentoring selectively rather than continuously, returning only when it feels genuinely useful.

Next step

If you’ve read this and felt a quiet sense of recognition rather than excitement, mentoring may be a good next step.

There is no pressure to decide quickly, and no requirement to commit beyond a single block.

If you’d like to explore whether this is a good fit, you’re welcome to get in touch and suggest what you’d like to work on.

FAQs

Q: Do I need to be an experienced or full-time teacher?

No. This work is for teachers who care about teaching well, regardless of how visible or established they are. Many people I work with teach part-time, irregularly, or are still finding their place.

Q: Is mentoring a long-term commitment?

No. Many teachers come once or twice to think something through clearly. Others choose to work together more regularly for a period when they are in a phase of deeper study or development. There is no expectation of ongoing commitment.

Q: What kinds of topics can we work on?

Mentoring is shaped by what you bring. This may include teaching approach, class planning, sequencing, use of breath, questions arising from further study, or making sense of where you fit within the wider yoga landscape.

Q: Is this yoga therapy or teacher training?

No. Mentoring is not a substitute for teacher training or yoga therapy training. It is a reflective, professional space to think, question, and refine your teaching with support from an experienced teacher.

Q: How do I know if this is right for me?
