The Teacher Lab is designed to bridge the space between learning how to teach yoga and actually building a life as a yoga teacher.

Throughout the six months, you'll have opportunities to teach, observe, assist, create, experiment, receive feedback, and make adjustments in real time.

Our private mentorship sessions may explore:

• Refining your teaching voice and personal style

• Sequencing, cueing, pacing, and classroom presence

• Classroom management and navigating challenging situations

• Building confidence as a teacher

• Creating meaningful student experiences

• Developing private yoga sessions

• Creating workshops and specialty offerings

• Building and growing your yoga business

• Pricing and developing new revenue opportunities

• Marketing yourself authentically

• Developing your professional presence and resources

• Setting boundaries and preventing burnout

• Leadership and professional development

• Creating short- and long-term career goals

Because this is a 1:1 mentorship, your experience will be shaped around the areas where you most want and need to grow.

You'll meet privately with your mentor Ylonda Rosenthal-Greene twice each month for six months, giving you consistent support while still having time between sessions to put what you're learning into practice.

These aren't lectures.

Bring your questions. Bring the class that didn't work. Bring the workshop idea written on a scrap of paper. Bring the business challenge you can't figure out. Bring the thing you're excited about but aren't sure you're ready to do.

We'll work through it together.

Your mentorship sessions provide space for coaching, problem-solving, feedback, planning, accountability, and professional development based on what's actually happening in your teaching and career.

Every teacher eventually has to move from teaching someone else's class format to asking:

What do I want to offer?

As part of The Teacher Lab, you'll develop a real teaching offering and have the opportunity to bring it into the community.

You'll choose to:

Teach two 60-minute Community Classes

OR

Create and teach one 2-hour workshop.

We'll work together on your concept, structure, teaching plan, student experience, and promotion. Then you'll teach it and receive personalized feedback.

You're not just talking about becoming a stronger teacher.

You're practicing becoming one.

Great teaching and a sustainable yoga career aren't always the same thing.

The Teacher Lab gives you space to explore the practical side of being a yoga professional, including business strategy, private clients, workshops, marketing, pricing, professional communication, and creating opportunities beyond a weekly studio schedule.

We'll look at where you are now, where you want to go, and what makes sense for your life.

You don't need to want a huge yoga business.

You simply need a professional path that feels sustainable, intentional, and aligned with what you want your teaching to become.

Growth happens between our meetings, too.

In addition to your mentorship and experiential hours, you'll complete independent Professional Practice & Development Hours throughout the six months.

Depending on your individual goals, these hours may include:

• Teaching and class preparation

• Reading and professional research

• Reflection and self-evaluation

• Workshop development

• Private session planning

• Business development

• Marketing projects

• Professional resource development

• Implementing mentorship feedback

• Goal setting and tracking

• Developing future offerings

Think of these hours not as traditional homework, but as time intentionally invested in building your teaching and your career.

One of the most valuable ways to grow as a teacher is to have someone experienced watch you teach.

The Teacher Lab includes two classroom observations where Ylonda , owner/founder of Soul Yoga will observe your teaching and provide individualized feedback.

We'll look beyond whether you created a "good sequence" and explore the complete student experience—including your presence, communication, pacing, cueing, classroom management, adaptability, connection with students, and overall effectiveness.

The goal isn't perfection.

It's awareness, refinement, and growth.

Some things simply can't be learned from a manual.

You'll complete four hours of hands-on assisting experience, giving you an opportunity to deepen your understanding of bodies, movement, consent, communication, and appropriate touch within the classroom.

You'll gain practical experience while developing greater confidence in when, why, and how to offer meaningful support to students.
