salt of the earth yoga teacher mentorship
the
EMBODIED
guide
Your Yoga business is a living, breathing extension of who you are
It’s shaped through presence, not perfection, unknowingly built in the quiet moments of true embodiment and woven into the daily practices you hold dear. We could never be separate from what is shared from within our soul.
you’re at home here
if you’re longing for a steadier, more embodied way of teaching.
one that honours your nervous system, your voice and the season you’re in as a teacher (it’s okay to be a ‘beginner’, you don’t need to fake it till you make it).
The Embodies Guid is for yoga teachers who want guidance in their yoga career without stripping you of your authentic gifts I hold so dear. We explore depth here without pressure, and offer a real space to grow whether that’s in finding your true voice, wondering where to go after YTT or planning your first retreat.
Here, we slow things down to travel forward and the best thing about mentorship? It deepen your relationship with your own practice. The foundation of all embodied Yoga teachers.
No matter what you need support with, we’ll build a sustainable teaching experience rooted in integrity, confidence, and care.
You don’t need to arrive polished. You’re welcome exactly as you are.
l just wanted to let you know that although I only attended a few classes with you, your energy and love truly had an amazing impact on me. I was going through a tough time during my time back in the UK and I will never forgot leaving one of your classes with a sense of relief and strong emotions. I left crying, but not because I was sad, but because I felt a sense of new beginnings which you had a massive impact on . Now I am starting my own yoga journey in Asia which your classes had a massive influence on. I hope this brightens your day as you have mine.
Inside The Embodied Guide,
This mentorship is not a rigid framework. It’s a living tapestry, woven around you, your practice and the season of teaching you’re in.
Each mentorship journey is unique and I will support you with a range of modalities and nervous system-aware teaching honed over the years including voice support, confidence building techniques, purpose uncovering and somatic tools to work with experiences like fear, visibility and activation.
We’ll discover embodied sequencing that arises from felt sense instead of memorisation and how to hold fast on your true path despite the noise.
I will hold space for you to reflect, integrate and provide real practice guidance on classes, retreats and the realities of teaching.
Nothing is forced. The work unfolds at your pace, guided by what feels most alive and relevant for you.
Is this mentorship for me?
If you’re a yoga teacher longing to teach with more confidence and ease.
If you’ve just finished your 200h and are wondering, what next?
You feel called to deepen your embodiment, not just your theory.
You want support, and not to be alone in the building of your offerings that honours your nervous system, not pushes it.
If you’re navigating self-doubt, imposter syndrome or fear of being seen
You’re interested in teaching retreats, workshops, or trainings and want support from someone with a wealth of experience.
You want mentorship that is grounded, honest, and human
You’re ready to grow, wether that’s into teaching full time or expanding, without losing yourself in the process
This mentorship isn’t about becoming someone else.
It’s about becoming more you. Steady, embodied, and rooted in integrity.
Meet your mentor,
Sadie Tonks
Sadie brings over a decade of teaching experience as a senior teacher (ERYT500), alongside twenty years as a professional actor - a background that’s deeply shaped her relationship with voice, presence and truly holding a room. Your past lives and previous jobs were more helpful than you can imagine.
Sadie’s led international retreats, taught and welcomed countless students and truly knows what it feels like to stand at the front of the mat. Nerves, wobbles, sheer bliss and all.
With training in somatic therapy, Sadie takes her mentorship beyond the mind to supports you through deeper blocks like imposter syndrome and self-doubt.
This is a human space. Sadie’s mixed up her lefts and rights (more than once), lost a few students on the mat and hosted her very first retreat with equal parts devotion and quiet terror.
Some stumbles are a rite of passage. Others are much nicer to sidestep with someone who’s already tripped over the obstacle.
This mentorship offers steady guidance, honest reflection, and a deep sense of ‘you’re not alone’, so you can grow with confidence, clarity and a little more ease.
TENDER, MESSY, WILD AND WHOLE
