Supervision & Mentoring
Supervision
In addition to my numerous yoga teaching qualifications, I also hold an Advanced Diploma in Yoga Therapy accredited by the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT). With over 16 years experience as a teacher and therapist, I have the expertise, skills and knowledge to work with student yoga teachers, trainee yoga therapists, and health professionals who also offer allied yoga services. I am part way through my training in Advanced Somatic Supervision Skills and will complete In August 2024.
Supervision offers a boundaried, listening space where each practitioner can explore their client/ student work in greater depth, and receive constructive feedback and practical guidance from a position of experience. A good supervision relationship offers a forum to reflect on all aspects of what it is to be a teacher or therapist including ethics and standards.
In supervision, we have the opportunity to pause and perhaps temporarily step away from the intensity of our work, take stock and gather new perspectives to enable us to step back in with a refreshed outlook. Supervision also offers a confidential space should you wish to dive deeper into the meaning behind your work, look at how it affects you, and feel supported and empowered to make changes in your practice.
An essential for our continued professional, personal development and self care. Contact me to discuss your needs.
