Calling all yoga teachers that are ready to kick imposter syndrome out the door… ready to show up to serve with heart led confidence, without wasting time and energy stuck in overwhelm, not knowing where to start…
If you’re ready to let go of limiting self beliefs that are holding you back so you are able to teach with authentic CONFIDENCE, to build a successful impactful teaching career and yoga biz.
You’re ready to let go of ‘winging it’, in a never ending cycle of trial and error, questioning how you’re going to make this work…then this is for you.
Maybe you feel like you’re lacking the depth in your teaching skills and experience to be able to move forward in your teaching career?
You know how great it would feel to finally develop and deepen those skills learnt in your teacher training so you’re able to show up and teach inspiring multi layered classes with confidence that your students will love.
YOU KNOW that now is the time to get the support you need to break through limiting stories that you’re running in the background that are keeping you small. To break through your fear of taking off ‘the teachers mask’ and being visible. To be able to show up as YOU, your authentic self..able to bring this into your teaching.
Imagine being able to say YES to opportunities with confidence. To level up your teaching skills and to be able to teach from a skilled and knowledgeable place.
Imagine having the skills to be able to empower and inspire your students with your teachings and to build the strong foundations you need for your successful yoga business.
I know what it’s like to be where you are right now because I have been there too...
out of your teacher training having spent thousands but feeling like you don’t know where to start?
As a yoga teacher you’re a self employed business owner and that can be a lonely and overwhelming place when you’re trying to navigate it on your own…
you may be struggling because…
👉 You’re lacking the support you need to grow, wanting to build confidence to step into the teaching space, to grow your community and help your students but not sure how.
👉 Maybe your inner critic is telling you that you’re not experienced or good enough, and because of that, you’re not only worrying when teaching, but also you’re saying no to opportunities that present and struggling to promote yourself and asking people to actually pay for your teaching?
👉 You’ve been living with imposter syndrome, lack of confidence around your teaching and comparrisionistis and it’s been keeping you playing small so you’re not showing up as your true self.
👉 Perhaps you're caught in a loop with a sequence that was used for your YTT and struggling to build anything more creative outside of that.
👉 You're looking to improve your class structuring skills because at the moment there is no deep reasoning behind your planning and you don’t know where to start?
👉 Perhaps you’ve tried to grow your classes organically and you’ve tried all the things but nothing seemed to work. You have no idea where to start with growing your community of students or with creating a profitable yoga career.

Graduate Experience
“I was only a few months out of teacher training and at the start of self-employment/starting up my first business. I tried out Amy's free masterclass and knew that the Evolve mentorship would be perfect for me. The biggest breakthrough for me with the programme and working with Amy is trusting that I can (and will) get where I want to go, as long as I stay nourished, excited and hard-working. Knowing that I deserve to be paid well for what I offer out into the world. Learning that I can build the life of my dreams! I would recommend this to any new teacher, or any teacher looking to step into a new light, and especially if you work for yourself - this is the best thing I did for my business and teaching in 2023. Amy encourages you to dream big and take ownership over your work whilst supporting from the sidelines which is really empowering and confidence-building. It was the supporting framework for the first year of business, and without Amy's encouragement and support I simply wouldn't have built as much as I already have :) Do it for you and your future dreams!!” - Sian Van Been Roberts - Yoga Teacher & Founder of Dwty Life - Shropshire UK
“The Evolve Together programme definitely pushed me beyond what felt comfortable, but Amy’s vast knowledge and unwavering belief in her students’ potential got me through my biggest challenges. Without this training, I doubt that I’d have had the confidence to set up my online yoga business. Thank you Amy. So grateful to have worked with you!”
- Annabel Lane - Yoga Teacher - London, UK
“Amy is really good at highlighting your strengths but she doesn't shy away from giving you constructive feedback. The group of teachers I worked with was extremely supportive and it felt a very safe environment to try things out and find my own voice. Amy had full attention on all of us and shared invaluable skills to become better teachers. Among different topics, we had session on how to plan with depth our classes, find our actual tone of voice and how to develop our yoga business. I made friends, met inspiring teachers and we created a community I know I can tap in anytime I need. Thank you Amy and Evolution Lab!”
- Elisabetta Marabotto - Yoga Teacher & Masseuse - Italy
“When I signed up for the Evolve Together Mentorship I had just finished YTT and felt a bit lost! My biggest break through within the mentorship has been really seeing the difference confidence makes and being taught practical ways to improve confidence in different areas. My favourite thing about working with Amy has been her warmth, authenticity and experience. Her mentoring style is practical and heart led. The mentorship is a superbly well rounded course with the input from different teachers, wealth of knowledge and expertise. Six months ago I couldn’t have imagined I’d be teaching my first studio class and loving every minute of it. And without this mentorship course I wouldn’t have been. So to say I’m grateful I signed up is an understatement!” - Onnanoko McAvan - Yoga Teacher - UK
“The EL Programme is cleverly designed to help you tap into your own unique teaching style and to find your own your voice as a teacher by taking you step by step through work books. I gained great insight into the 'Business of Yoga' and came away with many tools, marketing hacks and resources to support and grow my business for years to come. This has been invaluable in helping me work more efficiently and work towards growing a sustainable business. This programme was a game changer for me and I can’t recommend it enough.”
- Saffron - Yoga Teacher - Somerset, UK
“The Evolve Together Programme had hugely practical benefits from hearing how people do the practical side of things like set up booking platforms, payment platforms, how to deliver an online class, what technology is needed etc, what I’ve learned on the practical side of running a yoga business is absolutely priceless.”
- Carol Casey - Yoga Teacher - Ireland
Kate Rock - Evolve Together Graduate 2022
The Evolve Together six month group mentoring program is for you if…
You are ready to finally let go of the limiting stories you’ve been telling yourself and listening to the inner critic telling you you’re not good enough or you don’t know enough so that you can show up as the most inspiring authentic version of yourself.
You’re ready to kick imposter syndrome and comparison out the door so you can show up confidently.
You’re ready to let go of feeling lost with your class planning and sequencing and ready to create intelligent sequences with ease.
You’re ready to let go of feeling overwhelmed with bringing in different layers into your classes so you can start to create multi layered inspiring classes that your students will love.
You are ready to let go of feeling uncertain about whether or not to continue and ready to say yes to building a successful inspiring yoga career.
You’re ready to be a part of a group of inspiring yoga teachers that are working towards leveling up professionally and personally.
This is not for you if…
You’re not ready to do the inner work to move through your confidence blocks and limiting beliefs by getting comfortable with being uncomfortable, breaking through your fears and letting go of any negative patterns and mindsets.
You are happy to continue living with anxiety and fear around your teaching and saying no to opportunities that arise.
You’re not willing to put aside 2 hours a week to spend on developing your teaching career and working towards making your dreams a reality.
You’re not ready to be a part of a community of like minded teachers working towards building a dream yoga teaching career.
You think you can do this all on your own. The Evolve Together Mentoring Programme is a support container in which you will have the support and accountability of not just the programme leaders but also the group itself. There will be opportunity to connect to, support and gain support from the group and you will be matched with an accountability partner that will add that extra element of accountability and support.
You are using the excuse that you don’t have time and blaming outside elements or situations when things aren’t happening as you want them to, instead of making the time and committing to moving forwards even when things don’t go to plan.
About Amy
I understand what it is to be fresh out of teacher training or just be at a point with your teaching that you feel you need some support. Someone to bounce ideas off, someone to hold and create space for you to grow.
Having taught yoga since 2013 building a successful business as a resident teacher in London, teaching in some of Londons top studios, working with an extensive list of private clients, delivering workshops, international retreats, destination classes & workshops throughout Europe, teaching on teacher trainings and mentoring teachers like you - my own experience has led me to identify areas of growth and challenge that most new yoga teachers come up against...
Looking back I wish there had been support and a community for newly qualified teachers when I first started teaching. Even after over 12 years as a practitioner and completion of a thorough 200 hour Teacher Training, I felt I was running blind and didn't know how to "launch".
I have had many different mentors within my teaching, my business, health and personal development over my 10 year career and these relationships have all given me the boost and means to learn how to make my passion of teaching into a sustainable business with security & financial awareness. I have learnt how to build my brand and an identity upon which my teaching style, sequencing, class structure, assisting capabilities would all be encompassed.
It's this knowledge and passion that I aim to share with you and I can’t wait to get started!
I have been running the Evolve Together Mentoring Programme since 2017, mentoring and helping over 100 teachers so far to go from feeling overwhelmed, unconfident and unsupported to building strong foundations for success in their yoga careers.
Graduate Experience
Karen Lane - Evolve Together Graduate 2020
"Last summer I felt so lost with the whole teaching thing and I considered just giving up! But something drove me to your mentorship instead and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. Of course there is so much work still to do but I now feel I have the tools to keep checking back in with myself and to keep growing. I had my busiest week of teaching to date this week, 6 classes in total. No they were not all perfect...but the biggest thing I noticed is how I am actually really enjoying teaching now and I feel the best sense of achievement afterwards. I can honestly say I've never had that feeling from any other job I have done"
- Eve Sheedy - Yoga Teacher - London
“Building confidence this was key for me. The programme gave me so much confidence and inner belief: it made me practice, it made me teach and gave me valuable feedback (all "gifts!"). It also allowed me to find my authentic voice as a teacher and know that I'm enough. You are extremely awesome and make everyone feel that they're in a safe space with you. “
- Emma Hind - Yoga Teacher - London
I believe that yoga is needed more than ever in the world today and the more highly skilled teachers that are passionately, authentically teaching and serving their communities the better the world will be.
I’ve seen too many yoga teachers struggling out of their teacher training with lack of confidence, lack of support, not earning enough and eventually lacking inspiration to keep going or taking on so many classes they burn out so they just give up, (this is what almost happened to me) and I don’t want that for you.
I am passionate about and on a serious mission to help and empower as many teachers as possible to level up your teaching skills and industry knowledge with the support you deserve to make this work.
I will show you that it is possible to stand out in a seemingly saturated industry and build a teaching career that is sustainable, profitable and inspired that you will love!
THE EVOLVE TOGETHER MENTORING TEAM
The programme is led by Amy McDonald and has guest experts coming in to facilitate and share their expertises, knowledge, feedback & experience with you within some of the modules.
Carla Turner

Carla co-delivers on our module - Lighting your Inner Power and Letting Go of Limiting Self Belief. She provides a comfortable environment for fun, experimentation and letting go of fear.
Carla trained as an actress in two of the UK’s top drama schools, and worked professionally as an actress on stage, screen and radio. Teaching yoga was, at first, a way to support the unstructured life of acting, and then her heart led her to do it full-time. Her experience as a performer has integrated into her teaching/leading style. Her lessons are warm, engaging and creative. Her experience includes teaching studio classes, corporates, a range of one to ones, online classes, retreats, managing yoga studios and teaching/facilitating on the yogahaven Teacher Training.
Carla completed her 200hr with yogahaven. Since then she has gained a Pregnancy Yoga Training with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, completed the Elevate Mentorship Programme with Naomi Absalom, and has most recently completed her 300hr Advanced Teacher Training with Anna Ashby, Jean Hall plus a host of senior teachers at Triyoga London. She has also participated in teacher workshops with international teachers Jason Crandell, Kathryn Budig and Elena Brower.
Carla’s aim is to give people a chance to discover themselves whether it be through voice, visualisation or physical posture. She is passionate about connecting with others, having fun and embracing the gifts of life.
Sunita Devi

Sunita fell in love with yoga as soon as she stepped on her mat and hasn’t looked back - unless doing a backbend. Sunita is a special part of the EL team co-delivering on Module 2 sharing her knowledge all about Sequencing and Theming and then on Module 5 offering developmental coaching in the ‘Teaching Practice’ part of the programme. Years of delving into her own yoga practice led Sunita to embark on her journey as a teacher.

GRADUATE EXPERIENCE
Lisa - Evolve Together Graduate 2022
Lisa came to us with 2 months left to go on her 200HR YTT struggling with confidence and know what to do next. The programme catapulted her forward, having built her confidence as soon as she came out of her YTT she was teaching in studios and building her community.

The Evolve Together Mentoring Programme is for you if you are ready to fast track and level up your teaching skills and career in a safe container of support. It’s for you if you’re ready to be a part of an inspiring community of teachers that are working towards taking intentional action towards making their dreams happen.
-
The course runs over a six month period but you have lifetime access to the course content moving out of that six month period.
-
The course will be delivered completely online with a mix of 1-2-1 sessions, live group and pre recorded elements.
Each month you will have
· 1-2 live workshops relating to the module topic
· Pre recorded lessons & tutorials - released each month with workbooks to support your learning.
· Monthly live teachers practice - A 60 minute yoga class followed by 60 minutes of breaking a particular element of the class down with opportunity for Q&A.
· 60-90 minute Q&A - to ask any questions you may have about the module or anything about your teaching at all. If you can’t make these calls we will ask for questions 24 hours before the call and you can catch it on the replay.
Support & accountability – The evolution lab team and of course your community of teachers in a private facebook group in which you can ask questions and discuss ideas.
Accountability partner – your will be paired with, within the group to meet up with regularly to make your way through the course work, practice teaching together and holding each other accountable.
1-2-1 support – you will receive a strategy session at the start of the course with Amy and there is extra 1-2-1 sessions available for the first 14 teachers to enroll.
-
Of course it is very beneficial if you can turn up to the live sessions as there will be interactive elements, opportunity to ask questions and it is so fun to connect with the group but if you can’t make these times, they will be recorded and put up on the training platform within 24 hours of the class or call so there will be opportunity to catch up with these in your own time.
-
The Evolve Together Programme is for you if you are committed to leveling up and moving forwards in your teaching career. If you put the time and effort in the program will work and you will see results. So if you’re in, you are 100% committed to the transformation and doing the work.
Dive in 100%, dedicate the time & do the work that we lay out and you will get the results. That is the reason we don’t offer refunds. Once you are a part of the course you will understand why.
-
This is the perfect time to dive into our mentoring programme. It has been designed to fill that gap in between your 200HR YTT and getting out into real world teaching. Bridging that gap that can feel overwhelming and unsupported with a six month proven framework that has been designed to catapult your forward, developing your teaching skills & setting up solid foundations for a successful abundant yoga teaching career.
-
You can join us even if you haven’t completed your YTT. We have had many teachers come to us having a few months left on their teacher training journey, making the transition really smooth so you are able to step out of your YTT in an expertly guided and supported way.
-
What do you want to achieve and how much work are you willing to put in? In the first module we set goals and we will be checking into these every time we meet to make sure you're on track and still aligned with these goals. We give support and take you through a proven framework for success but ultimately you get out what you put in. You are responsible for your results.
-
Absolutely, although Imposter syndrome is totally normal. We help you to understand your lack of confidence and why you feel like an imposter and we build you up systematically. With each module your confidence will grow so you can tap into your full potential that a lot of the time lack of confidence and imposter syndrome are holding your back from.
-
Around 2-3 hours a week will be enough time to get through the pre recorded content and make your way through the work books. Meeting up with your accountability partner on a weekly or bi weekly basis will help your progress even more. The reality is with growing your teaching skills and career the more time you put in the more you will get out. So its up to you.
-
You will have a 1-2-1 activation session at the start of the programme with Amy. You will fill in a form to help tease out your developmental areas and questions you may have and we will tackle these in the first session.
If you have on going 1-2-1 support this will be time to trouble shoot, keep you accountable, work on developmental areas and fast track you forwards in your required areas.
-
There is lifetime access to the programme content.
-
You can do this on your own but speaking from experience myself this can be overwhelming and take a long time to get to where you want to go in your teaching journey. Doing this on your own means that you will be without accountability and guidance so will potentially be exactly where you are now 6-12 months from now having not taken the action to move forward. Getting support is an amazing way to firstly make this part of your journey fun and fluid. It is also a sure fire way to catapult your forwards to a place that would possibly take years to achieve, you get there in a six month period.
