Apprenticeship Program: Job - Employment - Profession yoga trainee
The Sharadha Yoga University Apprenticeship Program is based on the idea of mentorship and learning by observation and engagement. By assisting Dr.S.Yegneshwaran Sharadha Yoga University teachers in a classroom setting, the apprentice learns and grows from hands-on practice training. Dr.S.Yegneshwaran feel that the apprenticeship role is an invaluable way for them to “pass the baton” and help facilitate teachers-in-training to teach yoga based on the principles of Astanga Yoga. The program helps the teacher-in-training build confidence and experience. This experience is enhanced by working directly with a master teacher and a well-known and respected yoga school. Additionally, the apprentice has an opportunity to build their reputation and teaching career from the role of apprenticing in workshops, conferences, training, and festivals.
