Yoga’s Arc Mentorship Program

The Yoga’s Arc Yoga Teacher Mentoring Program is a unique program designed by Yoga’s Arc LLC, to prepare Certified Yoga Teachers to teach Yoga’s Arc’s public communities and underserved populations for real practice teaching experiences.  We require all teachers to be able to teach a full All Levels Yoga Practice off-mat and be able to mirror-image for our active communities that need Visual and Auditory Instruction.  Those who are confident in these skills can do an audition in one of our communities in exchange for 1 class in return, and if the audition proves the skills needed for a successful All-levels practice, then hiring you for employment is the next step after you teach your 1 class owed!

Due to the lack of experience most yoga teachers have starting in these communities, we created a mentoring program to set new teachers up for success.  With the lack of mobility and body awareness that most of our clients have in yoga, we need to train yoga teachers to teach to bodies that are not mobile.  Every yoga teacher not certified by the Yoga’s Arc Yoga Teacher Training School is required to go through the Yoga’s Arc Yoga Teacher Mentoring Program in order to be employed by Yoga’s Arc as a Yoga Teacher if unprepared for an audition starting out.

We have created the Yoga’s Arc Yoga Teacher Mentoring Program to provide the extra training and education required to be a successful teacher for a safe Yoga’s Arc All Levels Community and Yoga Practice.  These are some of the training areas that the YA Mentoring Program Provides: the Yoga’s Arc Yoga Teacher Mentoring Program Trainee will be able to participate in some of the following trainings to give them the tools to teach a safe Yoga’s Arc All Levels Practice. 

The Yoga’s Arc Yoga Teacher Mentoring Program Trainee will have the opportunity to:

  • Demonstrate for our current Yoga’s Arc Instructors in our current public and private classes

  • Observe our current Classes to take notes and learn from our Yoga’s Arc Instructors

  • 1-1 Sessions with some of our  Lead YA Instructors

Three options for the Yoga’s Arc Mentorship Program

  1. I am an experienced All Levels Yoga Instructor and have full confidence in auditioning to show skills in teaching off the mat (or out of a chair) while mirror imaging so we know you are keeping your class in your vision and safe.  I understand that I am to teach one class in exchange for the opportunity to audition and grow as a teacher.

  2. I am certified but need real-world teaching experience.  I choose the hour exchange program and know that my credit card will be held on file.  It will only be charged if I do not provide the hours of yoga teaching services in exchange for teaching for Yoga’s Arc that has been agreed upon in the contract.

  3. I am certified but need real-world teaching experience.  I choose to pay for The Yoga’s Arc Yoga Teacher Mentoring Program, the Yoga’s Arc Yoga Teacher Mentoring Program Trainee will be charged $250 for 5 hours of mentoring.  

  4. I choose to pay $75 per hour and will be charged 50% to book the session, and 50% the day of the session.
