Mentorships for Yoga Teachers
Decolonize your practice. Liberate yourself.
I work with yoga teachers who want to go beyond surface-level teaching and develop a practice that is grounded, ethical, and deeply informed.
If you’ve completed a 200-hour training and feel like something is missing—you’re not wrong. Many teacher trainings focus on sequencing, cueing, and anatomy. These are useful skills. But they often leave out the depth of study, mentorship, and lived inquiry that teaching yoga responsibly actually requires.
Yoga is not just a physical practice.
It engages the body, the mind, and often the more vulnerable layers of a person’s inner world. Guiding others in that space carries weight.
This work is not about perfection or hierarchy. It’s about developing the clarity, discernment, and integrity needed to teach in a way that is responsible—to your students, to the practice, and to the traditions yoga comes from.
Become a Better Yoga Teacher
Traditional tantric yoga holds the teacher/student relationship as one of the most sacred relationships between two humans. It is referred to as guru–śiṣya paramparā, and is a relational model of learning where knowledge is passed from teacher to student through both study and lived experience through an ongoing, unbroken lineage.
This is not just intellectual or academic learning. It is guided, embodied, and relational.
My work as a mentor maintains the sacredness of this tradition. As a student, you are not just given information; you are supported in questioning it, integrating it, and developing your experiential understanding over time.
Decolonize Your Yoga Practice
Contemporary yoga culture—especially in the West—has been shaped by systems that often strip practice from its philosophical and cultural roots. Decolonizing your practice doesn’t mean rejecting modern yoga.
It means studying it more deeply, including:
-
engaging critically with yoga's history
-
understanding lineage and context
-
examining how you teach and why
Areas of study include:
-
Yogic philosophy and critical frameworks
-
Trauma-informed and accessible teaching practices
-
Developing subtle practices: pranayama, meditation, mantra
-
Study of traditional texts (including Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra, Pratyabhijñāhṛdayam, Dohakosa)
-
Ethics, lineage, and cultural context
-
Developing your own pedagogy (teaching methodology)
This work is for teachers who:
-
feel limited by conventional training models
-
want to engage with yoga beyond asana
-
are committed to teaching with integrity and accountability
-
are willing to question, unlearn, and go deeper

Not Yet A Teacher?
Occassionally I offer 200 / 500 / 800 Hour Yoga Teacher Trainings in small groups.
These trainings go far beyond technique. They are for teachers who want to explore yoga as a relational, political, and embodied path of self-liberation—and to teach in ways that are decolonized, respectful, and rooted in lineage.
Students who complete the training are formally initiated into the lineage and given a yogic name aligned with their dharma.
