Yoga Teacher Mentoring Program
Beginner teacher
”After a 200-hr training the best strategy is to go and teach, the sooner the better”.
Session 1. Sequencing tool
Get introduced to my signature “peak pose” sequencing tool that will help you structure great classes.
With my support, you will create your unique intelligent sequences.
Your students will fall in love with them.
Session 2. Language, cues, alignment
We will go over each pose and transitions to refine your language, alignment cues, and possible hands-on assists. Finding your unique voice is a special journey on the path of yoga teaching.
Session 3. Teach Madina
You will teach me your class and to receive my constructive and compassionate feedback.
We will also pay attention demonstration skills and how to be move in space in the most effective way for your students to follow you.
This session will boost your teaching confidence.
Session 4. Teach friends
You will teach your sequence to a group (ideally friends). If possible, the class should be filmed for us to watch together so that we can highlight your strengths and challenges.
Above process usually takes 4-5 sessions and I recommend creating at least 4 sequences so that you will have a toolbox of polished and refined classes to teach.

I strongly recommend doing the first session in person. I see mentees at my home in Rosebery 2018, NSW (City of Sydney area).
“Madina is extremely knowledgeable & wise, and moreover very willing and enthusiastic about sharing this with her students/protégés. I was inspired by her own journey, teaching advice/style and the vulnerability that she showed in our sessions. In the short time that I have spent with Madina so far, I have had several breakthroughs with my teaching & increased my confidence as a new teacher. For me, the mentor/mentee relationship is so important, it provides the close sangha community we all need to grow and flourish on our own paths.”

I would highly recommend getting a spot with Madina she has some much wisdom beyond her years and has a wonderful way to share her learnings . Through out my experience of recently being mentored by Madina I found her experiences, insights and sharing helped me to gain a clearer understanding of my path within Yoga to grow and peel back the many layers. If you have not already, reach out and see for yourself with Madina, you will not be disappointed!
