Within each of us lies a guru, a wise one who knows the truth behind each of our thoughts, words, and actions, an ancient soul that sees through to the essence of all things and knows all there is to be known.
The Kula Path is designed to help you reach your potential by providing you with tools and experiential training to deepen your skill set as a facilitation and spiritual leader. Whether you plan to host retreats, transformational programs of your own or have the intention to lead yoga teacher trainings, this path supports your journey as you step into the role of a conscious facilitator.
We are dedicated to supporting our Kulitas expand and grow to the best of their abilities within our family. Giving you the tools and language you need to share the spiritual practice of yoga and empowering you to trust in the channel of truth you carry.
The process of the Kula Path is to help evolve participants’ natural leadership and space-holding skills into a holistic awareness of the needs of their particular class or workshop, developing them into high-level, conscious Facilitators. You will be encouraged along every step of the Kula Path to embody your own power, share your light and allow your magnificent gifts to emerge.
Kula Mentorship:
Mentorship provides you an opportunity to connect with Kula, deepen your knowledge and get familiar with the training outline. Kula Mentorship is for anyone who feels called to gain light experience on facilitation, dive deeper into the training content and participate in ceremony. It provides an opportunity to learn from the other facilitators and deepen space holding skills through observation and active participation.
During the training, we invite you to share your insights and to commit to maintaining the energetic space at the highest vibration possible. The goal is to be in a “mentorship role” and a liaison between the students and the facilitation team.
Mentee prerequisites:
Has completed a Kula Yoga Teacher Training (200hr or 300hr)
Covers their R&B cost and travel expenses, and pays $500 if a Kula YTT graduate, or $1200 if not a Kula YTT graduate.
In the Mentorship, we expect you to:
Be fully present throughout the entire training
Develop healthy relationships with students during the training
Lead 4 or 5 morning Asana practices in rotation with other facilitators
If competent, teach 1-2 other classes of your choice
