Friends on a Mat Mentorship Program
This is a beautiful way to give the gift of yoga, mindfulness, and meditation to individuals that have never set foot in a professional yoga class or yoga studio. It is a priceless gift, as it also incorporates a friend to go to class with that will support, encourage, empower, and care for them and their well-being. And remember, the child or adult that you sponsor and mentor is living in a state of trauma, survival, and fear of abandonment. Can you even imagine if they had someone in their life that was there, weekly, because they wanted to and not because they had to? Amazing!
Be a friend to someone who can benefit so much from mind and body wellness work.
Your commitment:
Meet or pick up your mentee once a week for class and drop them off or send them on their way after class. You will be able to sign up for one of a variety of classes that will be offered each week.
Do you need to do anything before coming to class?
Yes, you will need to schedule a short trauma-informed class with the executive director on Skype or imeeting as well as have all of the waivers and permissions signed. It is an in person interview so you can ask all the questions you may have. You can schedule a meeting by looking at availability on our calendar on our website… https://shelteredyoga.org/calendar/
