Refine Your Teaching

Coming out of a training?

There can be a tricky spot between finishing a training (or multiple trainings!) – and actually jumping into teaching. So much learning and information to process. So many questions left unanswered. So many insecurities left to hash through. So hard to become a teacher without community support.

Been teaching a while?

Need some expert guidance, new inspiration, and a strategic refresh?

The success of this mentorship program is that it supports your individual style, goals and objectives with customized feedback to you personally, one on one.

TUNE's Leslee offers depth of perspective, deep rooted insight from a combination of years of first hand experience in a lifetime of being an athlete and a yogi, teaching yoga for almost two decades, and her fun and effective intellectual curiosity blended with best practices, scientific research, and a knack for continued questioning of patterns and issues. She fosters a being open to new findings and perspectives.

• Refining alignment in your own body and poses - and understand why those refinements are so important - so you can accurately demonstrate what you're teaching and practicing
• Continuing to learn precision in terminology and a broader language of benefits to include in classes
• Continue to delve into anatomy topics to gain confidence in teaching - and sharing - in your authentic voice
• Continuing to cultivate an ability to “see through the pose” and sharpening observations of students even as they enter/leave the room and what is being presented on the mat
• Planning class for what you what and are getting hired to teach - athletes, vinyasa, alignment, gentle/restorative, 1:1 sessions, workshops, events, you name it!
• Whether honing athlete approaches or general yoga class teaching, delving further into smart and creative prop use and great pose modifications
• Skillful sequencing - even micro-sequencing - within your class plan from beginning to end and the importance of transitions and intentionality
• Branding and marketing advice (from someone who successfully spent 2 decades in strategic branding with Fortune 50 Clients) and ways to grow your business creatively and efficiently
• You may also have the opportunity to assist Leslee with a class or workshop as interest and schedules allow

• Each mentorship session will be roughly 2 hours.
