Yoga Teacher Group Mentorship Program
with Elemental Moon Yoga School

Grace Logo FINAL.png

So you finished your teacher training, now what?

Feeling isolated, or even burned out from the daily Yoga teacher hustle?

Or maybe you just want to stay connected to an amazing community of folks who LOVE to talk about Yoga, and not just the asanas?

New monthly group membership program is HERE! 
 

A LOT of what I do today I had to figure out on my own. Or piece together through many years of workshops, thousands of hours of teaching, over-priced mentorships that left me unsatisfied, all while devouring all the books possible.

 

Oh, and I made A LOT of mistakes. :)

 

In this group-style mentorship, I’ll offer a framework to support you as a Yoga teacher, my direct feedback on projects, and a space to try new things, with a community that wants you to succeed.

 

Whether you are a new teacher, or seasoned and looking for a spark, this group mentorship program is ready to support you.

No gimmicks, promises of sales, or fantasy of one perfect path to success. 
 

What?

  • A support system for Yoga teachers

​

  • A framework for organization + growth

 

  • A awesome community of badasses

Who?

  • New-ish Yoga teachers

 

  • Teachers who have been on a hiatus, and want to sharpen their skills in this brave new world

 

  • Teachers craving a little spark, or seeking a community who gives AF

 

Why?

  • Help teachers get into groove

 

  • Give support for questions

 

  • Build a community of trust, accountability, and inspired passion

Meet Grace (she/her)

I'm currently located in Charlotte, NC (Catawba and Sugaree land). My passions are rooted in science and equality, which inform my teaching of Yoga, and how I show up in the world.  I spent 5 years in the fast-paced, and high-pressure, scientist world where I conducted research for UNC-Chapel Hill in the intersecting fields of nutrition, genetics, and neuroscience. 

 

 I study, and teach, from a long lineage that believes that life is inherently beautiful, and that the path of Yoga is a tool set to better navigate the many twists and turns. Specifically, from the Tantra and Himalayan Traditions of Sri Vidya. 

​

 My classes, whether restorative or flow, are infused with my passions, and quest for magic and joy. 

 

 I am a student first, and humbled to call myself a teacher of Yoga. I honor Asana as one tool, of many. I am always willing to evolve and (un)learn.

​​

 

I've created this program to help teachers works smarter, not harder; fill in gaps from YTT; share my experiences as a former studio director turned solo-preneur; and offer a space for feedback and community.

Conversation

One of the best parts YTT are the conversations that come, the random tangents that are followed, and the connections of knowledge that are made. Let's keep it going.

Community

Community truly is EVERYthing, and it's not guaranteed.  Community requires a commitment to satya (truth) and a foundation of ahimsa (non harming). 

Commitment

With great power, comes great responsibility.  We must hold ourselves accountable to the principles of Yoga.  Always strive to evolve, and never stop learning.  

Celebrate

Remembering to pause, and celebrate each accomplishment is almost as important as success. Otherwise, what's the point?! Celebrate each other, yourself, this opportunity to be alive and breathing. 

Enrollment opens Summer 2023

We begin by laying a solid foundation for growing together, then dives deeper into topics, and with opportunities for refinement, feedback and practice.

TESTIMONIALS

"Grace is a generous and knowledgeable mentor. She freely shares any knowledge she has about a wide range of yoga and ayurveda topics. She would easily flow with whatever topics were on my mind during our sessions. With Grace's mentoring I became a more skilled and confident yoga teacher in a shorter time frame."

"Grace's teaching style is infectious, informed, and passionate! ... I loved that we had multiple sessions on diversity, inclusion, and allyship in the Yoga space. Highly recommended!"

"Grace is a truly special soul. As a teacher, she goes way deeper than the physical poses of yoga. She utilizes anatomy, psychology, and energy to create intuitive movements that you didn’t even know you needed. ... She also takes time to honor the histories and cultures of yoga, and addresses the responsibilities of being a teacher. Regardless of whether you’re interested in teaching vinyasa, deep stretch, meditation, or nothing at all, you’ll leave grace’s training with many new ways to contribute to the world."
