Straight from the Heart

Online Mentorship for Yoga Teachers

5 April - 28 May 2027

Many teachers of yoga walk away from a 200 or 300hr training fully capable of teaching a 60 minute asana class, yet this is simply an entry point when it comes to holding space as a yoga teacher. As sharply as we refine our sequencing we can equally strive to refine our guiding perspective. The way to do this is by enquiring into how we as can teachers ensure that what we transmit to our students provides fertile ground for reflection on the social, psychological, and spiritual values that are embedded in the path of yoga?

​MAKE IT MEANINGFUL

Straight from the Heart is a 8 week exploration into the sacred work of teaching yoga. We will explore the inner dynamics at play when stepping into the role of guiding others, the external challenges that we may face, as well as developing technique and precision in teaching.

OUR THREE MAIN PILLARS ARE:

Mastery of Teaching: Focusing on aspects such as voice and how to use it, presence, and refining what and how you teach.

Love of Wisdom: Exploring spiritual texts, poetry and contemporary writing as a way of deepening our experience of yoga.

Alchemy of Self: Lovingly, honestly and courageously deconstructing who we are and our true intentions.

Within this framework there will be feedback, discussion and deep listening.

Straight from the Heart serves both new and seasoned yoga teachers, providing grounded insight into the art and responsibility of holding space for others to unfold. If you have been yearning for support, guidance and inspiration that will help you to evolve your teaching — this course is for you.

Key Info & Application


This mentoring gave me the confidence and reassurance in going more in depth with my own practice and teaching. I really felt seen by Rowena throughout the whole program. We definitely stepped beyond the usual topics that are covered in a group training, which made it so special. Thank you!

My language is more precise. I have more avenues to draw from when I structure my classes. It gives me more freedom to be creative. Thank you for everything Rowena.
