As a mentee, you’ll receive access to a private teacher training student and alumni group to connect with others who can support you on your journey, not to mention plenty of one-on-one time with your mentor.

Become a mentee as many times as you’d like to hone different skills, learn from different teachers, and study specialized yoga styles!
