Whether it be developing your practice, improving your teaching skills, deepening your understanding of yogic philosophy, building your business, leveling up your life in general or all of the above, the aim of this mentorship program is to meet you where you are and offer you personalized guidance, relevant tools and a supportive environment to help you achieve your goals and become not only the best yogi, but the best YOU you can be.
Who is this mentorship for?
Yoga practitioners who are wanting to accelerate their growth;

How the mentorship works:
This program is designed to unfold at your own pace. While the specific content will vary depending on each mentee’s intentions, needs and experience level, the basic structure of the program consists of:
Ten 90 minute one-on-one sessions;
Weekly personalized homework assignments and readings;
Multiple check-ins each week to help support learning and navigate challenges and obstacles;
Study and practical application of yogic philosophy;
Optional gatherings with other mentees*;
A final personal project
*The purpose of the optional gatherings is to give each person a chance to discuss what they’ve been working on and learning throughout the mentorship. This inevitably leads to new insights and deeper understandings, while at the same time creating an opportunity for mentees to help each other learn and grow in the most effective and enjoyable way possible.

Testimonials
“I started the mentorship program without any expectation, only with a goal to learn more about myself. It turned out to be the best decision I could have made! This program challenged me in all the best ways to understand myself in ways I had never even imagined, and Brent stood by my side to light my way with endless knowledge and comforting support. He made everyone’s experience preciously unique. You never want it to end... and it won’t!”
“If transformation is what you are seeking, you have come to the right place. Without exaggerating, every experience I have had with Brent has been life changing. I have been lucky enough to be a part of two teacher trainings and one mentorship with him. He is one of the most amazing humans I know. Insightful, kind, thoughtful and wise, he is also a creative genius when it comes to asana and vinyasa practice, and a sage on yoga history and philosophy. If you are seeking to deepen your practice, you would be well served to take part in his mentorship. It is veritably guaranteed you will not regret it.”
“My feedback on this mentorship couldn’t be more effusively praiseful. Brent has a real gift for holding/creating space that balances hard work and unobstructed play. His own abilities are incredibly motivating (and frustrating! in good ways) but they contrast sharply with his personal gentleness. The result of that contrast is a liminal space that lends itself to exploration and curiosity and awe and wonder and gratitude. A hard balance to maintain, but one he maintains with apparent equanimity. I draw on his example daily. It’s a gift that echoes far beyond our time together. Thank you, Brent, my teacher, my mentor, my friend.”
“I had an amazing experience with Brent and our group. Super, super amazing! Asana, philosophy, drums... I wish it didn’t have to end!””
“Brent is a legend. His yoga mentorship truly accelerated both my spiritual and physical growth. He is naturally adept at meeting you where you are and tailors the perfect amount of challenge on the mat, insightful readings, and personal advice to help you on your journey. Time with him has made for more peace and enthusiasm in my life and I thank him daily for that.”
“The mentorship with Brent was a truly fulfilling experience that created a solid foundation for my continued practice of yoga for years to come. I decided to do his mentorship at an early point in my yoga journey, where I was searching for a much deeper understanding than my usual inconsistent physical practice. His breadth of knowledge, patience, creativity and thoughtfulness in his teaching is what sets Brent apart from others as an incredible mentor and teacher. As a program that mixed both one-one-one and group sessions every week, I was able to learn from others who were at different points in their yoga practice, which I found really helpful. Brent is engaging and encourages deep introspection and though among his students. I had such a positive experience in his mentorship program and highly recommend it no matter where you are in your journey. He cares very much about his students both on and off the mat. I look forward to attending more of his workshops and trainings in the future!”
“This mentorship was an absolutely amazing experience. I am so grateful that I ventured into it. Brent is an amazing teacher and person. I recommend this to everyone and I look forward to learning more. Thank you so much!”
“After having the privilege of joining Brent’s Mexico retreat, practicing with him on zoom during the pandemic, and progressing physically, I felt inclined to dig deeper into my practice and signed up for his mentorship program. Brent’s approach is thoughtful, intentional, and lovingly challenging. He provided me with a safe space to express my authentic self and helped me navigate my strengths and weaknesses, creating a program tailored to my specific needs and wants. My asana practice grew stronger and I have gained new tools to help me stay composed through this journey called life, both physically and mentally. I am grateful for him and highly recommend his mentorship program for anyone looking to improve their physical and mental skills.”
