Mentoring and Support

Helping you grow as a teacher

These are difficult times, where people need the healing practice of yoga more than ever.

However many teachers are feeling overwhelmed and burned out, or have big dreams but aren't sure where to begin. Or maybe you feel like you don't fit within the studio system and are looking for support as an independent teacher.

Our mentoring program can support you in evolving your business, finding your voice as a teacher in class and online and growing your yoga business your own way.

We can help you identify your strengths, find new directions for your business in these challenging times and support you along the way, so you can continue to support your community.

Get Started

Have you finished your teacher training, but aren't sure what's next?

It can feel like a big leap from teaching within a training to launching your own classes out in the world!

It can be particularly challenging starting out as an aerial yoga teacher, since specialised equipment and insurance is required. Jo can help to bridge the gap between teacher training and professional teaching by offering supervised practice sessions, and a beautiful space here at Garden of Yoga to help you grow into a confident and competent teacher. Since these sessions are fully supervised you will be covered by our insurance, and will also receive real time support and valuable feedback.

She can also support established aerial yoga teachers looking for fresh inspiration, sequencing ideas, strategies to make aerial yoga more accessible and to share yoga philosophy within your classes.

Do you want to grow as teacher?

Do you feel there were gaps in your teacher training and you lack the confidence to teach everyone who joins your classes?

Jo can help you plan your yoga, chair yoga and aerial yoga classes so that multiple options are built into your sequence and everyone feels included. Jo has been teaching yoga for over 20 years, and additional training in trauma informed and accessible yoga, and specialises in adapting practice for diverse bodies and needs. She has a depth of knowlege that comes from speaking to leading minds of contemporary yoga culture through nine years of creating The Flow Artists Podcast, and writing her book Eight Limbs of Aerial Yoga: Adapting Practice for Accessibility, Neurodiversity and Physical Support.

Jo has experience leading classes in parks, festivals, online, sub let studio spaces, private homes, council run community programs, corporate workplaces, retreats and founding her studio Garden of Yoga. She can support you in finding the right venue, building your community, planning your classes and even applying for grant funding.

If you are looking to branch out creatively and share yoga in new ways Jo can help you map out the next steps.

Renae Stevens Creator of Aerial Yoga Therapeutics

Under Jo's mentorship, I have grown more skilled and confident in delivering aerial yoga classes to students. Her recently published textbook is a phenomenal testament to her decades of teaching and running her own studio, and has helped me to understand the lineage of yoga and how it connects to aerial yoga. Her mentoring is supportive, encouraging and transparent. I really appreciate her direct feedback, clear communication and her willingness to help those who are mentored by her how best to navigate things like pay conditions, working conditions, how to run workshops, use of photography in social media, the networking side of things.

Kirrah Holburn Founder of Wisdom Formulas

Jo possesses a wealth of experience and knowledge of aerial yoga and the roots of traditional yoga.

Most of all, she has a living, breathing relationship with a trauma-informed approach that is clear in everything she does, and it inspires me to stick to my own personal values in an industry that is influenced by modern society.
