Program Description
At some point, EVERY yoga teacher questions their ability to share the gift of yoga. You might be fresh out of our 200-hour training program feeling like you don’t know where to begin, or you might feel intimidated after having taught a few classes that didn't go liked you planned. You might be several years into your teaching with regular students and classes but feeling like you are teaching the same stuff and you’ve lost that spark for teaching. You may also feel isolated, missing the community of your first yoga teacher training and wanting to re-join a group where you can study yoga philosophy and engage in discussions about teaching and practicing yoga.
The Apprenticeship program is designed to meet you where you are. During this 12-week experience, you will work with me to gain more feedback on your teaching, deepen your study of yoga, find your authentic voice as a yoga teacher and receive one-on-one support. Bi-weekly small group sessions (maximum of 4 students) will include practice teaching opportunities, group discussions, self-reflection exercises and open time for questions and dialog.
Program Outcomes:
• Gain more feedback on your teaching
• Find your authentic voice as a yoga teacher
• Receive one-on-one mentoring from an E-RYT200/RYT500
• Deepen your study of yoga by observing teachers you admire, completing reading assignments tailored to your areas of interest, and journaling about your daily yoga practice.
• Form bonds with other yoga teacher apprentices
• Receive the opportunity to teach at Sky House Yoga

Testimonials:
“This experience went well beyond informative and exceeded my expectations. Hannah is a thoughtful, knowledgeable, and nurturing leader. The one-to-one mentoring calls served as a perfect complement to the work we did as a group and solo. Everything seemed so well thought out and has supported my home practice and added to my teaching. I'm extremely grateful for the women I met, the knowledge shared and the opportunity to give service at Sky House through teaching. Not only would I recommend this apprenticeship program to others, I'd gladly take it again as a refresher course. Thanks for everything!”

“I was at the end of completing a yoga teacher training with another studio, but I felt like there was just more information that I needed to know and better understand. I wanted to build my confidence, so I reached out to Sky House. I have completely loved the apprenticeship experience. Hannah is so supportive, insightful... she’s sincere and she’s real – that was exactly what I needed. My confidence was built through this program and I am eternally grateful. Right now, I am teaching for a whole month at Sky House Yoga – I have taught 3 Community Yoga Classes and will be teaching my fourth later this month. It has been an amazing opportunity.”
