About the Ambassador & Mentorship Program
Our Accessible Yoga Ambassador & Mentorship Program offers yoga teachers and yoga therapists ongoing support, education, and inspiration.
We've expanded our benefits to include two-hour monthly mentoring calls with Rodrigo Souza as well as an additional monthly one-hour guest presenter session.
These two monthly sessions will offer time for personal support and engagement. You’ll be able to get your questions answered and learn techniques for making your teaching truly equitable and accessible for all your students.
If you can’t join live, sessions will be recorded and you can watch them at your own pace.
You’ll also access a dedicated virtual Ambassador Community where you can chat with Rodrigo and hundreds of other Ambassadors around the world.
