THE COLLECTIVE YOGA MENTORSHIP
October 4 to November 2, 2025 – Saturdays and Sundays.
Saturday classes open to the public 12:00 pm – 1:15 pm
We’re revamping mentorship! Fall focus: The Art of Sequencing
The Collective Yoga Mentorship: The Art of sequencing is a 5-week program throughout October 2025 specifically designed for teachers who:
- Finished their 200-hour YTT recently and are looking for guidance around sequencing,
- Received their certificate via an online/hybrid program and are craving in-person mentorship and feedback,
- Have been teaching for some time and are looking for ways to explore different ways of sequencing or trying on new formats,
During these five weeks, you will experience in-depth practices & lectures on: traditional sequencing, progressive sequencing, chakra sequencing, high energy/weighted sequencing, and storytelling. You will have one dedicated day for practice, lecture, and learning; and one day of honing your skills in a group-led community class — free and open to the public to gain real world experience.
This program satisfies the requirements for 25 hours of continuing education for Yoga Alliance.
MENTORSHIP DETAILS
The Collective Yoga Mentorship will run for 5 weeks: Saturday, October 4 to Sunday, November 2. We will meet two times per week: Saturdays for Practice & Lecture, and Sundays for a Community Class. Each week will focus on a specific sequencing style — such as progressive sequencing or chakra sequencing — where you will learn on Saturday, and teach a real class to students on Sunday.
12:00 pm – 1:00/1:15 pm

COMMUNITY CLASS
Community Classes are group-taught by the cohort. They are free and open to the public to attend. This is the teachers’ chance to apply the skills learned, and students’ chance to experience them.
