Yoga Mentorship
Deepen your yoga studies through mentorship with Rowena. Have questions that cannot be answered in a public class setting? Want to discuss concepts in even more detail between private yoga asana sessions? Seeking to learn and incoporate yoga philosophy as a way of life off the mat at work, home and with friends or family? Are you a yoga teacher wondering, how do I make a living teaching yoga? Get these questions answered in virtual mentorship sessions.
Mentees will have weekly or bi-weekly 30-min 1:1s with Rowena via phone or video call to learn, discuss, apply, and reflect upon practice of applied yoga philosophy and science. Mentorship is for teachers or students who would like to develop equanimity and nourishment in their lives or relationships through the lens of yoga philosophy with hands-on, action-based practice (kriya yoga). Mentorship is also for individuals seeking personalized guidance on how to tailor their lifestyle through the lens of yoga (and its sister science, ayurveda) to nurture their health and wellness needs through monthly cycles or phases of life.
Receive the knowledge Rowena has collected from over a decade of coaching students, mentorship and continued education under world-renowned yoga teachers, and over 20 years of developing health/bio technology, leading cross-functional teams, and managing multi-million dollar product portfolios at startups and corporations.
The benefits of studying yoga directly with a teacher is that you will get personalized feedback, accountabiilty toward new habit forming, homework assignments (if you wish to apply/practice what you have learned in sessions), and ongoing curriculum. To hear what students gain from working with Rowena Mittal Yoga, visit Google, Yelp or testimonials.
Gain peace, confidence, ease and knowledge by living your yoga.

Self-Realization Through 1:1 Study
Mentorship can expedite your path to self-realization:
-
Are you beginning yoga for the first time and have a lot of questions about concepts, chants, Sanskrit, anatomy, or philosophy that your teacher(s) are unable to answer in classes?
-
Would you like to see if yoga philosophy and practice (kriya yoga) can unlock your path to a full life, as you define it, as a compliment to western and eastern healthcare practices?
-
Need help from a teacher to establish a regular yoga asana, pranayama, or dhyana practice?
-
Seeking ways to embrace yoga philosophy as a way of life off the mat at work or at home?
Rowena personalizes practice to each student's interests, needs, and phase of life pulling from the historical texts of yoga, personal practice, and lived experience applying yoga philosophy "in the real world" as a coprorate executive, partner, family member, and friend. She brings yoga back to its forgotten, ancient roots as a science and philosophy. She teaches students to study yoga and their practice through the lens of art and science, without judgement -- pure observation. She offers theory and knowledge to unveil new learning and growth.

Is yoga mentorship like life coaching or therapy?
Yoga mentorship is not life coaching, nor is yoga a replacement for therapy with a certified therapist. Think of yoga mentorship the way you do a philosophy teacher who teaches philosophy. The difference is that yoga mentorship provides you with actions you can take to apply the philosophy in real life, observe your practice, ask questions and discuss your learnings directly with a teacher.
