Apprenticeships are custom-tailored to your needs. Start on the path to teaching with confidence today.
OFSY’s Vinyasa Apprenticeship Program is an extension of our 200-Hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training and is designed specifically to provide recent graduates and new yoga teachers the opportunity to gain real-world teaching experience and refine their skills under the guidance of an Om Factory mentor. Each 12-week mentorship is custom-tailored to match up the needs of the apprentice with a mentor who can best support their development.
The process of working with a mentor provides space for new teachers to identify their target areas of growth, to cultivate their unique strengths, and to receive feedback for accurate self-assessment. The role of your mentor is to help you clarify your vision as a teacher, establish your authenticity, integrate your knowledge into the classroom, and guide you in creating an uplifting experience for students.
• Apprentices are accepted into one of three 4-month long semesters.
• Duration of the program is 12 consecutive weeks within the semester.
• Start & end dates are decided once accepted and paired with a mentor.
• Apprentices meet with their mentor at the beginning of the program to
discuss goals & develop a timeline to track their progress.
• Apprentices must teach a weekly public class during the Apprenticeship period
that will be observed by your mentor every other week.
• OFSY will work to find a schedule that fits with BOTH mentor & apprentice's needs.
• Counts towards the Continuing Education Unit (CEU) requirements
for Yoga Alliance® Registered Yoga Teachers (RYTs).
• Each 3-month apprenticeship includes 10-15 contact hours
& 10-20 non-contact hours.
