I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at CorePower Yoga (Park Ridge, IL) in Feb 2013
Interview
audition process is ever changing so this likely won't be helpful. after you take their mentor program, you apply for an audition and answer a questionnaire- you are then scheduled with an audition to teach part of the sequence you were trained in, given feedback and you either get an offer or not. No guarantee of a class upon hire...that's the problem. It's like getting a job without getting the actual job. Onboarding and retention seem to be an issue here.
