From certification
to your own classroom
Training gives you the tools. The mentorship — real classes with Ofrit or another Yoga@Play Lead Teacher beside you — turns them into teaching.
You won't learn this from a workbook
You'll learn by being in the room — watching, assisting, and eventually leading with your own voice, in real classrooms with real children.
The goal isn't to teach like Ofrit; it's to grow into the presence that's already yours, with the method underneath it. The mentorship is by invitation, for certified graduates of the Teacher Training Academy.
Three stages, in order
You move to the next one when you're ready — readiness sets the pace, not the clock.
Observe
Watch experienced Yoga@Play teachers in action — the pacing, the transitions, the small decisions that never appear in a manual.
Assist & co-teach
Assist teaching, then gradually step in. You lead a section, a few sections or the entire class — with someone beside you the whole time.
Lead
Lead a full class, with honest, personal feedback from Ofrit or another Yoga@Play Lead Teacher — until you feel confident to teach on your own.
One number — and you get it back. The full mentorship investment is $150, returned to you in full after your first 30 days of teaching. It isn't about the money; it's about commitment.
Everything you need to become ready

- โ Yoga@Play Teacher Acknowledgment — formal recognition on completion.
And once you're teaching: competitive pay and a schedule built around your life. See pay & culture →
What the mentorship makes possible
"From the first time I saw Ofrit teach, I knew I wanted to learn from her. My self-confidence has grown and I've really opened up in my classes. If you're considering teaching kids' yoga — look no further."
— Leslie, GraduateBefore you begin
How do I know if I'm invited to the mentorship?
Invitations are extended during certification. If something during your training told us — and you — that this is your path, you'll hear it from us. If you're unsure whether you've been invited, just ask.
Do I need to complete the Teacher Training Academy first?
Yes. The mentorship is for certified Yoga@Play teachers only — it's the bridge between certification and confident classroom practice, not a substitute for the training itself.
How long does the mentorship take?
Most graduates complete their mentorship within 2 weeks to 2 months. It's experience-based rather than time-based — you progress when you're ready, and nobody is pushed into leading before they're ready.
Where will I be teaching?
In daycares, preschools and our Penn Valley aerial yoga studio — real environments with real children, alongside teachers who already know the room. Once you're ready, teaching opportunities come through our growing network of 30+ preschools and daycares across the Main Line, Philadelphia and beyond.
When exactly do I get the $150 back?
We return the full $150 once you've completed your first 30 days of teaching.
You have the tools. Step into it.
From your first observed class to your first solo room, there's someone beside you the whole way.
