You might already know that for several months I have been developing a mentorship program that would allow me to take the best of what I've learned in 21 years of practice, 16 years of teaching and 10 years of training teachers, and work with a smaller number of people in a more in depth way and over a longer period of time than when I was training teachers through Jivani Yoga. Well, she's up and at 'em and she's ready to run.
I will no longer directly support Yoga Alliance or offer 200hr Yoga Teacher Training Programs.
Why?
Because what I came to learn about Yoga from the unbroken line of teachers in the lineage I belong to is wholly absent from what I see in modern yoga classes.
Because the culture of disempowerment in Yoga is a toxic minefield that drives a trillion dollar industry and YA accreditation does nothing to counter that.
Because yoga teachers don’t know how to practice and instead end up burnt out and disillusioned.
Because modern day gurus have all fallen from the pedestals they should never have been put up on, and if they haven’t yet, they will in time.
Because over the past 7 years or so I have turned my attention away from endless cycles of study to get 'better' at Yoga, and realised I've already got everything I need. And whilst I could probably bend the Embodied Voicework, Daring Leadership, Trauma Recovery, Anxiety Management, Mindset Coaching and Personal Transformation work I turned my attention to, to fit into a YA registered program, the pushback from my need for authenticity won't allow it. Also, Glasshouse is primarily for those who have already completed 200hr trainings and are therefore already eligible for insurance.
For the past several months I have been working with a group of business coaches on the steepest and most intense learning curve I have ever been on.
I have been coached through fear, overwhelm and tech fatigue as my new offering has been brought together. I have practiced what I preach, utilised my fully body of tools, taken sacred rest and I have now reached the point where I am ready to share it with you all.
So without further ado, I bring you...
The Glasshouse Mentorship.
Why Glasshouse?
Because transparency.
Because growth.
Because I will no longer engage in stone throwing about what anybody else is up to.
It is a one year program in 3 parts.
1. Do Your Yoga
The Heart of Yoga & Ayurveda.
Straight up lineage of Rama Mohan Brahmachari, Sri T Krishnamacharya, TKV Desikachar, UG Krishnamurti & Mark Whitwell. Asana - Pranayama - Meditation - Mantra. Flawed humans. Perfect Yoga.
No pushing. No striving. No styles. Nobody better than anybody else. No hierarchy. No performance. No disempowerment.
A thorough and empowering investigation of the roots of modern Yoga, the deep intelligence this lineage holds and how we can contextualise it for our own lives. The absolute antidote to Imposter Syndrome.
2. Find Your Voice
Embodied Voicework is a path to full freedom of expression. It encompasses Singing, Sound, Mantra, Kirtan, Polyvagal Theory, Trauma Releasing Exercises for Self Healing, Non Violent Communication, Personal Coaching & Somatics.
3. Bring Your Dream to Life
Visioning, Proven and Effective Business Strategy, Mindset Coaching, Daring Leadership.
It is my desire to work with fewer people in a more in-depth way and over a longer period of time. This is my dream, and I have found a way to make it happen.
I will help you identify your own dreams and share everything I have got to help you make them happen too. You will be guided the entire time by me and my team through recorded content, one to ones and group sessions, and 2 glorious life affirming (optional) retreats.

I talk very openly in there about what is driving this endeavor and why I’m doing what I’m doing. I have a very particular about me these days and I'm definitely not for everyone. Everyone's not for me either and that's ok :)
I am ready to accept applications for the first 10 places and this is a pre-launch for those who are already familiar with me and what I stand for.
If the Mentorship is something that interests you, book a call at this link, complete the form fully and let’s get talking.
