Mentorships

Mentorships

explore, understand, embody

Education has been a passion of mine since I began teaching music at age 15. When I love something, it is my honor and my seva (service) to share it with as many people as I can— especially when it is something that may help them on their path forward, and therefore is of benefit to the Collective. My Yoga Mentorships and Sound Healing Mentorships are dear to my heart, offerings filled with love and gratitude to my own invaluable mentors. This one-on-one mentoring program is open to anyone who is interested in these healing arts. My Yoga Teacher Mentorship is open to anyone who has earned their RYT-200 (or beyond), or has completed any YTT Program. If you want to enrich and expand your knowledge of yoga or sound healing, then this mentorship may be a good fit for you. Sessions are available in person in Katy, TX or “live” via Zoom or Google Meet.

I’ve been teaching public yoga classes since 2008, have maintained a personal yoga practice since 2001, and have been mentoring since 2017. I have studied and taught the following styles as weekly public yoga classes: Restorative, Gentle, Yoga Basics, All Levels, Anusara, Ashtanga, Slow Flow, Vinyasa, Power, Meditation, Yin, Kundalini, Hatha Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and Prenatal Yoga. I love exploring the body through movement, and deep diving into how yoga philosophy can be applied to our modern lifestyles. I am a Lead Yoga Teacher Trainer, and absolutely love experiencing new teachers expand and allow their inner wisdom to shine brightly. Years ago, I (unexpectedly) began mentoring yoga teachers, it happened organically as an extension of my (public) teaching. It’s a beautiful synergy, and I would be honored to work with you.

I’ve been a musician since elementary school, beginning with choir and piano, and then expanding my musical knowledge through learning the instruments of the woodwind family, voice, and strings. I earned multiple degrees in music, and was an orchestral musician, enjoying a successful performing career prior to having my beautiful children. I began sound healing (publicly) 9 years ago, and unlocked something within myself that all my years of studying and performing music had not. I was finally able to release my expectations of “perfection” in music. This profound moment freed me, and allowed me to fully embody the practice of sound healing. In that moment, I knew it was something I wanted to share as a major part of my life’s work. I would be honored to help guide you through your exploration of sound healing.

***I offer two options for each mentorship: the “set” programs below, and dual-creation programs—-programs we craft together, depending on your specific needs and goals.

What clients are saying...

  • “After taking my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training Online, I felt both prepared and unprepared to teach yoga. I understood basics of the poses, and was given a couple of sequences, but wasn’t sure how to write class plans effectively. Mary Evelyn’s guidance with sequencing and class flow was especially helpful for me. If you’re a yoga teacher who took an online YTT especially, I recommend her mentorship to help you feel more confident in your teaching.”

    Ashley W.

  • “Mary Evelyn was my third yoga class instructor. I enjoyed her classes and began to take private yoga lessons with her. She was so patient with me, my body, and my many questions. Mary Evelyn is knowledgeable about different types of bodies, movement, and safety. With her guidance and encouragement, I enrolled in a Yoga Teacher Training Program at age 60. Ate age 61, I began teaching yoga.”

    Nancy G.

  • "As a brand new yoga teacher, Mary Evelyn's classes and mentorship have helped me find my voice, and as a result I am able to teach classes and feel both more connected to me and to my students. I recommend her mentorship fully."
