MENTORING
"Coming out of a 200h teacher training and launching your career as a yoga teacher can be intimidating.
So I created this program thinking about what I wish I'd known when starting out to gain confidence and inspiration through personalized sessions."
- Aurélie Poles
✔️ You want to stand out from the crowd by better understanding the needs of each individual and bringing consistency to your classes and adjustments.
✔️ You want to introduce the principle of functional mobility and FRC to your classes because you feel that this is what is missing from a modern asana practice.
✔️ You feel the commun imposter syndrome that holds you back and takes over.
✔️ You're not sure where to start to get off the ground as a yoga teacher at the beginning of your career, or you feel it's a pivotal moment to move up a gear after a year or two.
✔️ You're feeling a little isolated by loneliness and are looking for inspiration.
✔️ You'd like to be able to make a living from your passion, but it's still a little complicated financially and you're exhausted.
✔️ You're looking for your voice and can't help comparing yourself to the more experienced teachers around you.
You're a yoga teacher and you'd like to continue to develop as one and ...
I'm here to help...
I'm Aurélie. Welcome to my world!
I've been teaching yoga internationally for over 10 years now. When I started out, I had dreams and desires, but I was petrified of being heard or of trying to do things my own way. I couldn't really fill my classes or have any confidence in myself.
I've made mistakes, I've spent all my energy creating even one class or filling it, I've learned from what I thought were failures, and today I live from my passion - sharing movement adapted to each individual through functional yoga. My classes are full, I travel to workshops and festivals in France and Europe, I teach at training courses on the other side of the world... but above all, I thrive on what I do.
I designed this mentoring program to help you the way I would have liked to have been helped 10 years ago, according to your needs and in personalized 1 to 1 sessions
My aim is to help you in every way possible to become an exceptional teacher, in tune with yourself, and to help you gain or regain confidence in your practice.
MENTORING IN 2 MODULES
This mentoring program is built around 2 distinct modules to help you align your teaching practice and develop a sustainable business. The aim is to help and guide you by providing advice and support. But be warned, there's no magic formula: it takes time and hard work to achieve your dreams!
It starts with an investment and a bet on yourself.
01 - Teaching practice
✔️ CREATE
The creation of coherent sequences that have a direction and a common thread is the basic tool of asana classes. By working on functional mobility and FRC, as well as introducing more philosophical themes, you'll be able to modernize your teaching while keeping it rooted in tradition and adapting it to as many students as possible. I'll give you all the advice and templates you need to create inspired and varied courses quickly and efficiently.
✔️ GUIDE
The biggest challenge at the end of a training is to gain self-confidence and define your position as a teacher. Guiding an exceptional class means being there fully for your students. It means directing with the voice without showing everything, so as to be free to watch, adapt and adjust. With this module, I'll help you find the tools you need to build bonds with your students and move forward with your community.
✔️ QUESTION
We all have automatisms, words or phrases, gestures or adjustments that we repeat over and over again because we've learned them that way, without really understanding them. This is the time to question them together, to refine or modify them. Students become loyal to a schedule according to their timetable, but also and above all to their teacher. So finding your way is more important than finding the "right slot" in the studio. I'll help you refine your positioning.
02 - Growing your business
✔️ ORGANIZE
Knowing your strengths and how to use them to differentiate yourself is key to creating a business, a company and a community that's just like you. The students who put their trust in you will follow you on whatever you come up with, perhaps workshops, retreats, online offers... I'll help you target the right people, and share my advice on the do's and don'ts of making your dreams come true and organizing your events.
✔️ SELL
Organizing, creating and imagining are all great, but you also have to be able to sell. l'll help you set your goals so that you can make a living from your passion and fulfill yourself, both professionally and personally, by giving you the freedom to allocate your energy more effectively.
✔️ COLLABORATE
As a yoga teacher at the beginning of your career, collaborations are essential, but sometimes they can only go one way... I'll help you choose who to work with (spoiler, it's not just yoga studios!) and how to approach them, as this is a subject that is all too rarely discussed in certification training.
Bonus
✔️ TEACHING IN ENGLISH
For some, the desire to travel comes with the freedom of this profession. As a yoga teacher, travel means the possibility of teaching in another country. A good level of English is necessary, but you don't have to be bilingual to teach on a tropical island for a few months! If this is your dream, I'll share with you my advice on how to properly guide a class in English, where to go and how to access studios and other venues abroad.
*Thismodule cannot be purchased individually, but can be combined with mentoring.
PHOTO x YOGA FEATURE
Aurélie Poles & Florian Coëlo Photography
The idea behind this collaboration is to combine my expertise as an experienced yoga teacher with that of a professional photographer, so that you can shine in the eyes of your future students with unique photos of your practice. We offer a personalized photo shoot during a tailor-made yoga class organized by us, in which you can devote yourself fully to your teaching!

With this package, you benefit from professional photos taken by Florian - discover his gallery here - that you can use on your social networks, your website or any other support you need for your communication. You'll also benefit from my expertise: I'll take care of all the organization of the course, from room rental to the arrival of the students and communication, and if you wish, I'll offer you support before and after the event. In short, we'll take care of everything!
D-Day will look like :
✔️ You give your class in front of an audience that we bring together.
✔️ During this time, Florian takes photos of your teaching according to criteria we've defined together beforehand.
✔️ Once the course is over, I'll give you feedback on your teaching if you wish.
