Yoga Teacher Mentorship

Working with Amy was above and beyond my expectations. I felt her support both during and in between all of our sessions. Amy gently pushed me outside my comfort zone, which was like being supported by a dear friend who points out your room to grow whilst imparting generous wisdom. Amy reminded me that my work is not about me - it’s about passing on the teachings and tradition. She gave me more confidence and something rich every session, and guided me to stop adding things to my “stress bowl”!

I knew instantly that Amy’s vision and values were very much aligned with mine. All of her information was so well communicated, genuine, and in depth. Amy is extremely efficient, professional, and supportive. From the very beginning I felt guided. I loved having the support of a local senior teacher. She genuinely cared about the progress of my career and learning. I left each session together feeling motivated and inspired! Working with Amy has opened up more teaching opportunities. I feel like I have a clearer direction of where I am headed in my teaching career and also feel more confident in defining how I want to be teaching.

This program has probably benefited me more on a personal level rather than my teaching. Overall my most memorable learning has been to stay true to myself - realising that I no longer enjoy teaching big group classes, that I can choose what style of yoga I am willing to teach, and how to navigate social media. I also felt Amy’s teaching and message was authentic and traditional.

As a newly certified yoga teacher I felt anxious and overwhelmed. Despite having never met or practised under Amy prior, I felt a connection and instinctively knew that her she was the right person to help me navigate the ups and downs of being a new yoga teacher. Amy's desire to preserve the integrity of yoga, and empower new teachers to share this ancient healing practice with modern 'householders' resonated deeply. Our session covered a huge range of topics. Amy was generous with her time and created a safe space where I was able to discuss challenges, errors and perceived shortcomings, without fear of judgement. I never felt alone. On a practical level, Amy's feedback on my class sequencing and delivery boosted my confidence, encouraged me to question why I say and do certain things when teaching, and provided practical tips to enhance my teaching. I have been given information, tools and techniques to help me become a better teacher. But above all, I have confidence and clarity. As a result I am now being paid to teach weekly group classes, and have organised a number of independent events. Under Amy's guidance I have created a powerful 10 year vision and have a clear understanding of who I am here to serve.

Amy assisted me to find how yoga could change someone's life first hand. She was extremely professional as a teacher and inspired me as a student. I was extremely happy the program was structured to my need and not a blanket approach with regards to a set program. Amy was able to gently guide me to explore my interests and challenged my teaching style. This helped me to improve my classes by providing me with practical hints and tips that I was able to implement. Throughout the program I have been extremely grateful that I was able to discuss my plans, learnings, and challenges. I can not begin to put into words the benefits I have gained from this program - both personally and professionally.
