A LIVE 7-Week Online Mentoring Circle for Experienced Yoga Teachers

For many experienced yoga teachers, there comes a time when the outer structures of teaching—classes, studios, trainings, certifications, and even professional success—no longer fully answer the deeper questions that first drew us to yoga. What once felt energizing may begin to feel repetitive. The pressure to market ourselves, build a following, or keep pace with an ever-changing industry can quietly pull us away from the practices that nourish us. We may find ourselves carrying disappointment, fatigue, uncertainty, or grief while continuing to hold space for everyone else.

These seasons are not signs that something has gone wrong. They are part of the natural maturation of a teacher.

Teaching yoga is more than sharing postures or philosophy. It is a lifelong process of becoming. As we mature, the questions change. We become less concerned with proving ourselves and more interested in serving with integrity. We seek companions who understand the unique joys and challenges of a life devoted to practice and teaching. A Place to Land is a seven-week online mentoring circle created for experienced yoga teachers who want a place to pause, reflect, and continue that journey in good company.

Part support circle and part professional mentoring, this course offers a thoughtful environment where teachers can reconnect with the spiritual heart of yoga, speak honestly about the realities of teaching, and deepen their capacity to lead from authenticity, wisdom, and experience. This is not therapy, nor is it a traditional teacher training. It is a collegial community devoted to honest conversation, reflective practice, and the continuing evolution of the teacher.

The Journey

October 8th: The Call
Return to the experiences, teachers, and longings that first drew you to yoga. Reconnect with the values that continue to inspire your practice and consider what is calling for your attention now.

October 15th: The Roles We Play
Explore the many identities we assume as teachers: guide, mentor, healer, expert, business owner, lifelong student. Reflect on which roles continue to serve your work and where greater freedom and authenticity may be emerging.

October 22nd: What We Carry
Create space for the realities that often remain unspoken: burnout, disappointment, financial pressures, difficult relationships, uncertainty, aging, changing capacities, and the emotional weight of holding space for others. Practice meeting these experiences with honesty, compassion, and perspective.

October 29th: Finding Your Voice
Clarify the perspective that only years of practice and teaching can cultivate. Refine your ability to teach from lived experience, trusting your own observations, questions, and insights rather than external expectations or passing trends.

November 5th: The Gift of Experience
Consider how mistakes, failures, unexpected detours, and hard-earned lessons have shaped your teaching. Explore how maturity invites greater humility, discernment, patience, and generosity.

November 12th: The Company We Keep
Reflect on the importance of collegial relationships, wise mentors, meaningful friendships, and supportive communities. Discover how authentic dialogue and shared inquiry strengthen both practice and teaching.

November 19th: Returning to the Work
Gather the insights of the previous weeks and articulate a vision for the next season of your teaching. Leave with renewed purpose, practical intentions, and a deeper commitment to the work that is uniquely yours to offer.

What You Can Expect

  • Seven live online mentoring sessions
  • A discussion-based, participatory format that combines guided teaching with open dialogue
  • Thoughtful conversations about the realities of long-term teaching

Who This Course Is For

This course is designed for experienced yoga teachers who:

  • Long to reconnect with the spiritual foundations of yoga.
  • Feel disillusioned by aspects of the modern yoga industry.
  • Want an honest place to explore the challenges of teaching.
  • Value thoughtful dialogue over competition.
  • Seek continued growth as practitioners, teachers, and human beings.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, participants will:

  • Feel more grounded in the values that guide their teaching.
  • Speak from a clearer and more authentic professional voice.
  • Navigate the inevitable challenges of teaching with greater steadiness and perspective.
  • Experience the support and insight that emerge through collegial reflection.
  • Renew their sense of purpose, inspiration, and commitment to the path of yoga.

Teaching is not a destination. It is an ongoing practice of listening, learning, and becoming.

This course offers something increasingly rare: a place to land, a community of experienced colleagues, and the opportunity to continue the work with greater honesty, clarity, and heart.

“A deep reservoir of philosophy, yoga history, and human learning patterns. Christina’s mastery in the various aspects of teaching yoga became apparent to me during my 300-hr teacher training. Christina’s dedication to learning and teaching is infused in each class, and each module or area of focus is organized and designed for her students to both learn the information while also absorbing what each principle feels like in the body. Christina is a unique treasure in the world of yoga teacher training with her deep reservoir of philosophy, yoga history, and human learning patterns, along with refined teaching techniques such as specificity and economy of language, demos, props and sequencing. I highly recommend Christina Sell as a wonderful and masterful teacher of teachers.”

My teaching has already improved. This training was fantastic and covered so much material, including communication and language, philosophy, approaches to asana and more. Christina did an amazing job leading the training and managed to create cohesion and community in an online-only training. She also brought in several outstanding experts for guest lectures. My teaching has already improved from the techniques, approaches, and ideas from this training that I’ve started to incorporate into my classes over the past year.”

“I feel spacious, confident, integrated, and inspired. Christina transcends ‘next-level’ as a teacher, mentor, and guide. She embodies grace, wisdom, and compassion. Christina builds a container that is brave and encourages vulnerability. She took me beyond the depths of courageous introspection and led me to self-compassion. After immersing myself in her loving instruction, I feel spacious, confident, integrated, and inspired. I went into this training looking for a safe place to become a better teacher, find a diverse community, and take a deep dive into myself. I came out of the year of study with the grace of great things assimilating into the tissues of my body. Spend some time in this safe harbor studying, practicing, and in community with Christina Sell. It’s a portal to self-love, transformation, transcendence, and awakening.”
