Begin Again Mentorship Program
Are you ready to dive more deeply into your practice and teaching of yoga?
This mentorship program is for teachers of yoga looking for support, clarity, connection, and a more personalized deep dive into your yoga teaching, practice and business.
Go Deeper
Perhaps like me, after your yoga teacher training, you felt a little lost… where do I find students? How do I make a great playlist? How do I infuse yoga philosophy and dharma in my classes? Beyond the poses and sequences, how do I actually find the confidence to get up in front of people and teach? And beyond that…how the heck can I make this into a career?
These are all common and real challenges that many newer yoga teachers encounter. My intention is to open my doors and share my experiences, successes, challenges, fumbles and lessons learned from almost a decade of teaching public classes, workshops, retreats, festivals, online, on apps, working with brands, social media, and more.
What will we do?
Talk. It’s that simple. We talk about what’s going on in your life, teaching and practice. I’ll be your ‘yoga friend’ and offer whatever support I can in whatever you’re interested in working on. Sometimes I talk with folks about their sequencing, or technical details of teaching a great class online. With others we chat about how we can bring the wisdom of yoga into our friendships, romantic partnerships and family dynamics. Others, we chant, meditate and breathe, and talk about the present moment. With some, we talk about philsophy, mysticism, spirituality and awakening. Your curiosity will guide our time together and the ‘homework’ (optional) that I can offer you.
Unlike a traditional yoga teacher training, this isn’t a ‘one size fits all approach.’ This is just for you and your unique situation.
Requirements for Participation
Teaching.
You are actively teaching yoga. online, in person, groups, one-on-one privates, leading retreats, etc)
Books.
Purchase the books Bringing Yoga to Life by Donna Farhi & Awareness by Anthony De Mello
Practice.
You can take a minimum of 1-2 classes per week with me online or in-person (*classes on zoom will be included in the cost of your tuition for the duration of this mentorship - 6 weeks).
Commitment.
You’re ready to show up for each session, open to offer and receive, curious, kind, and willing to learn more about yoga and yourself through discussion and communication. If you can’t make a session, give 24 hours notice or the session will not be rescheduled.
Availability.
You are available to meet via Zoom on Wednesdays either for 30 minutes weekly, or 60 minutes bi-weekly
Humility.
Beginners mind is a requirement for this. We must begin open and willing to say “I have no clue!” From here, we can open to the infinite possibilities of our life and teaching and growth as a student of yoga.
What You’ll Get
Connection.
A weekly or bi-weekly meeting with Peter over Zoom depending on timing and availability for 6 weeks.
Questions.
A sounding board to ask questions about all things yoga, teaching, mantra, practice, business (marketing, branding), retreats, workshops, and public classes —in person and online.
Contemplations.
Reading, writing, and contemplative assignments if you’d like. Some folks just want to chat (or chant!) through things, and that’s fine as well if this is your preference.
Plan.
While we can talk about whatever you’d like around yoga and your journey during sessions, this program will be most beneficial if you have some idea and intention about what you’re looking to get out of this time together. We can talk about yoga philosophy, life, the business of yoga, setting goals, marketing, mantra, and chanting, or whatever else sparks your curiosity.
Observation.
A review of one of your classes via a recording or a live zoom session if schedules align. I’ll offer candid observations of what I notice and offer suggestions (if you’d like) about things you could work on to make your offering shine even more.
Please note…
I am not a therapist, coach, doctor, relationship counselor, sage, nor anything beyond a student and teacher of yoga and life. Let’s communicate as equals — peers and equal students of life.
