Find a mentor that is getting the results you desire.

Mentors have been around for centuries.

Krishnamycharia mentored B.K.S. Iyengar, K. Pattabhi Jois, T.K.V. Desikachar & Indra Devi….David Foster mentored Josh Grobin…..Laurence Olivier mentored Anthony Hopkins.. …Obi-wan Kenobi mentored Luke Skywalker… Jim Rohn mentored Tony Robbins…. Benjamin Graham mentored Warren Buffett … Socrates mentored Plato … Plato mentored Aristotle … Aristotle mentored Alexander the Great ….
Throughout my life, I’ve had mentors that have helped me in all the important areas, family, health, career, spirituality and contribution. Finding and choosing a mentor is an important mission and decision.



Apprentices Assisting and Adjusting

A good mentor helps you get a clear-sighted view of what’s most important to you. They should serve as a model for reaching your most significant goals in the most important areas of your life.

A mentor can help us identify where we need to grow. We may be ahead in our health while lagging behind in spiritual awareness. Or emotionally or financially astute but lazy in the way we eat. A good mentor will be honest with us about where we are and then help us work on the areas that need attention. Your mentor should have a genuine history of success & experience that has stood the test of time.

Each year I mentor a group of teachers who are working on the completion of their 500 Hour Professional Level Yoga Training. Over the next six months, you’ll see these devoted protégés observing & assisting at my classes, events & workshops. Please take the time to meet these assidious teachers and thank them for their dedication & service.


“Empowering yoga teachers to grow their practice through mentorship is a profound experience for both parties.  I believe in the impact of one person on another person’s life. The opportunity to share over 20 years of experience creating a thriving and sustainable career teaching yoga is rewarding. As a mentor, I dream of a world for our next generation of yoga teachers in which our yogic light becomes so bright that it will wash away the unnecessary pain and suffering in the world. We can do this. We can build a yoga revolution, teacher by teacher, student by student”.
