The Joymamma Graduate Mentorship Pathway​

​Supporting prenatal yoga teachers as they step into teaching with confidence

Picture
At Joymamma, your training doesn’t end when you receive your certificate.

Graduation marks the beginning of your real-world teaching journey and you deserve to be supported as you take those first steps with confidence.

The Joymamma Graduate Mentorship Pathway exists to bridge the space between training and teaching.

​It is a cohort-based, year-long pathway designed to support you as you grow into your role as a prenatal yoga teacher, with guidance and practical support along the way.

This is not an add-on or an upsell. ​It is a continuation of the relationship you’ve already built during your training.

​Why This Pathway Exists

​Because becoming a teacher doesn’t end with a certificate

Stepping into teaching can feel both exciting and overwhelming. Questions arise - sometimes unexpectedly, once you are in front of real students.
​
  • What sequence should I choose today?
  • How do I support an anxious or vulnerable student?
  • What if someone shares something I wasn’t prepared for?
  • How do I price my classes or start offering workshops?
  • Who do I turn to when I feel unsure?

This pathway exists so you are never left holding those questions alone. 

​You leave the training not as a “finished student,” but as a valued graduate; guided and accompanied as your confidence grows in real time.

What’s Included

1. Welcome & Orientation

Support begins the moment you graduate.
​
You’ll receive:
  • A warm welcome email with clear next steps
  • Immediate access to the Graduate Resource Library
  • An optional 15-minute onboarding call
  • Entry into the private Joymamma Graduate Community
From day one, you feel oriented, connected and supported.

2. Monthly Group Mentorship Circles (Live on Zoom)

A safe, confidential space to reflect, learn and ask questions.

Each month, you’ll join a live group mentorship circle with your graduate cohort.

These sessions offer:
  • Teaching support and real-world problem-solving​
  • Class planning and sequencing guidance
  • Support for working with anxious or newly pregnant students
  • Sensitive, compassionate communication skills
  • Foundations of ethical, heart-centred business and marketing

About recordings:
Selected teaching components and general learning may be recorded and added to the Graduate Resource Library. Personal sharing, sensitive questions or vulnerable discussions are not recorded, ensuring graduates can speak openly and honestly. This balance protects both learning continuity and emotional safety.

3. Ongoing Personal Support & Email Access

You’re not expected to figure everything out on your own.
​
Graduates have access to personal email support where you can:
  • Ask teaching or sequencing questions
  • Share class plans for feedback
  • Seek guidance around challenging client situations
  • Ask questions about offerings, pricing or business ideas
You’ll receive a response within 2 working days.

4. Graduate Resource Library

A growing collection of practical, ready-to-use tools.
​
Your private library includes:
  • Class plans and sequencing guides
  • Cueing cheat sheets
  • Visual posture breakdowns
  • Intake forms and pregnancy safety guidelines
  • Business templates (pricing guides, flyers, captions)
  • Social media templates
  • Workshop outlines and teaching aids

​Resources are added over time and reflect real questions that arise in mentorship.
Everything is downloadable, printable and adaptable for your own offerings.

​5. “How to Start Teaching” Business Toolkit

Practical guidance for stepping into teaching with clarity.

This toolkit supports you to:
  • Start your first classes or series
  • Choose the right venue
  • Price your offerings ethically and sustainably
  • Communicate clearly with pregnant clients
  • Build relationships with local birth professionals
  • Create a simple 5-week prenatal yoga term
  • Maintain heart-centred, ethical business values

​This is the guidance many teachers wish they’d had earlier.

6. Optional 1:1 Mentorship Sessions (Additional Support)

From time to time, you may want more personalised guidance, whether for class planning, teaching confidence, client scenarios, or business questions. Optional 1:1 mentorship sessions are available by request and are offered as an additional paid support option. These sessions are not included in the Graduate Mentorship Pathway and can be booked when needed.

8. Joymamma Graduate Community

A private circle of women supporting women.
​
Inside the graduate community, you’ll find:
  • Peer support and shared experience
  • Teaching inspiration and idea-sharing
  • ​Opportunities to collaborate
  • Encouragement, belonging and connection

​9. Quarterly Graduate Check-Ins

Accountability and reflection.

Four times a year, you’re invited to book a 15-minute check-in call to:
  • Celebrate progress
  • Talk through challenges
  • Refine goals
  • Re-align with your purpose

​These moments help you stay grounded and supported as your teaching evolves.

Cohort-Based & Relational

The Graduate Mentorship Pathway is cohort-based. You remain connected to the cohort you trained with - people who share your learning journey. This continuity can help foster trust and deeper connection.
