Yoga Teacher Apprenticeship Program at Revolution Yoga

Gain Real-World Experience and Refine Your Teaching Skills

The Yoga Teacher Apprenticeship Program at Revolution Yoga is a transformative 9-week experience designed exclusively for graduates of our 200-Hour Teacher Training program. This apprenticeship offers new instructors the chance to gain hands-on teaching experience, deepen their skills, and work closely with master instructors. Through supportive mentorship, apprentices are guided in developing their confidence, refining their teaching techniques, and building a foundation for a successful yoga teaching career.

Each week, apprentices will teach a donation-based community class, with all proceeds going to a charitable organization of their choice, allowing them to bring positive change both inside and outside the studio. Additionally, apprentices shadow an experienced instructor, learning hands-on adjustments and gaining valuable insights into the nuances of guiding a yoga class. Weekly mentorship meetings with Amanda DiGiovanna provide the tools and feedback needed to refine teaching techniques, develop strong sequences, and cultivate effective speaking skills.

Program Highlights

Donation-Based Teaching Experience

Each apprentice has the opportunity to lead a weekly community class in our beautiful studio. These classes are offered on a donation basis, with proceeds going to a charitable organization selected by the apprentice. This experience not only allows new teachers to develop their teaching style in a real-world setting but also fosters a spirit of giving and community involvement.
