Description

From the YogaFit Healthcare Student Handbook:

There are primary faculty members who will serve as mentors to each student as they move through the
program. Upon successful completion of the application and admission into the program, each student will
be assigned a mentor. The mentor will act as a guide and primary contact throughout the duration of the
program. The mentor will maintain regular contact with the student, and the student will be expected to
maintain contact with the assigned mentor. If the mentor is unable to answer the student’s questions, it
is the mentor’s responsibility to contact the school or program director for further instructions. Currently,
all mentors are on the Yogafit therapy faculty team.

Mentors are chosen based on various factors. The student can request a qualified member of the faculty
based on proximity, specialty, or prior relationship of trust and mutual respect. The mentor and student
may have a discussion of goals and needs and decide together if it is a good fit. The mentor is both a
curriculum mentor and a practicum mentor, with most of the hours (30 of the 38) designated for practicum
mentoring. Curriculum mentoring is also provided by the program directors as requested. Mentoring fees
that are part of the program are paid to the school as designated in the fees section of this handbook.
