200-Hour Mentorship & Practicum

On the Beach

Mandorla Yoga Institute’s 200-hour Mentorship Practicum is comprised of two modules, 100-Hour Somatic Emotional Yoga Therapy mentoring and 100-Hour Somatic Energetic Yoga Therapy. Designed to be the final modules in the 800-Hour Somatic Yoga Therapist Certification Program, each module is comprised of a 15-hour online mentorship that is combined with an 85-hour practicum that is completed in your home community. In addition to completing private online mentoring sessions, you will meet online with your mentoring cohort as you are walked through the process of researching, creating, and facilitating your own case studies in Somatic Yoga Therapy that is offered for groups or individuals. 

The 200-hour Mentorship Practicum is the remaining requirement in the 800-Hour Somatic Yoga Therapist Certification Program. To enroll in the Mentorship Practicum, one must actively be enrolled or have completed the 300-hour Advanced Embodiment YTT in Somatic-Energetic Yoga Therapy, and/or the 300-hour Advanced Embodiment YTT in Somatic-Emotional Yoga Therapy
