Victor Chau Yoga Mentorship Workshop Series (30 hours)

The Mentorship Workshop (30 hours)

Mentoring, Connecting, Creating

In an ever changing wellness and yoga industry, The Mentorship Workshop will equip you with the skills and insights that you need in order to shine amongst thousands of yoga teachers in Hong Kong.

In this workshop, international yoga teacher and IRIS: Your Escape Programme Director Victor Chau will elevate your teaching, build up your confidence as a wellness professional and inspire you to explore your greatest potential as a yoga teacher. You will learn more about the business of yoga so you can stand out in the post Covid-19 world, and be connected with many like-minded professionals.

You will leave the workshop feeling more connected, inspired and encouraged to try new ways of thinking and teaching. You will also learn practical skills on how to increase your income and manage your time and finances better.

Over 10 graduates of this Mentorship Workshop 1.0 have been Lululemon ambassadors and Nike trainers, and dozens have presented at IRIS: Your Escape. Many more are now teaching at major yoga studios and gyms such as Yoga Room and Pure Yoga in Hong Kong. Graduates are also invited to assist Victor in major yoga festivals, workshops and trainings in Hong Kong and beyond.

In its 7th year of running and with over 160 graduates, Mentorship Workshop has also been redesigned and upgraded to meet the demands of a post Covid-19 world.
