That support system is our **Mentorship Program**. This program begins with the Mentee attending a complimentary training. Once the initial education is completed, they begin a one-on-one journey with their Mentor who personally guides them from certification to launch, and everything in between. Throughout their journey, the Mentee is also connected to a support system of other Mentors who help to create further pathways for opportunity, personal growth and empowerment.  This journey enriches the lives of both the Mentor and the Mentee, as well as that of their communities - bringing wellness, and education on the importance of fitness, to *everyone. * For, as the beloved Nelson Mandela said, ***'Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.' *** ![Tania Headshot](https://www.piloxing.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Tania%20Headshot.jpg?width=300&name=Tania%20Headshot.jpg)**We want to highlight our PHENOMENAL Piloxing Master Trainer Tania Ndlovu from South Africa. Tania has worked closely with us to develop this program and launch it in South Africa!** *"⁣⁣Empowering women has always been a something very dear to my heart and the fact that I am able to use the platform of being a Master Trainer for PILOXING to do that on a daily basis makes my heart sing. 2020 was a dreadful year for most people with the pandemic. Many lost their livelihoods, many lost loved ones. Alongside this, we had a very rude awaking as to what is happening in the world around us with the #BLM movement and out of that "ugliness" came the opportunity for us to not just say we want to empower but actually DO something about it." * *"After many many meetings, tears, starting the conversation & being heard, we started the journey of being able to give back to the community here in South Africa. To be able to give someone a chance to empower themselves, and then give them an opportunity to pay it forward and empower others, is truly fulfilling." *  *"I am truly honoured to have had Sharfaa be the first to go through the Piloxing Gives Mentorship Program  - beginning in September 2020. It is a privilege to have walked this journey with her and to help prepare her. On 15 Feb she will launch her 1st class.  The next step is to get her ready to apply for her Elite and then the sky is the limit with what she can achieve!"* [***Tania Ndlovu***](https://www.piloxing.com/instructors/tania-ndlovu-100040062?) ***PILOXING Master Trainer, South Africa*** --- ![Sharfaa](https://www.piloxing.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Sharfaa.jpeg?width=300&name=Sharfaa.jpeg) **We are excited to share a few words from Sharfaa Pietersen, our FIRST PILOXING *GIVES *Mentee. We are so grateful to have you in our PILOXING Family!! ** *"These past few weeks were amazing!!! I am grateful for this opportunity and to have an amazing person like my mentor Tania, every moment counts. I have learned and captured much more information about SSP Piloxing and to be able to share it with other people is a wonderful feeling and very helpful and that I will always cherish. Thank you so much to my mentor Tania for her time and expertise, much much appreciated, and for helping me grow and be better and gain more confidence. Thank you so much to the Piloxing family as well."* *"This opportunity opened a door for me in a direction so exciting and uplifting which I would probably never even thought I'll be doing on my own. Opportunities arising and I am taking it full on, with the help of my Mentor and other friends as well. So thanks again for this amazing journey."  😘❤🌹* ***Sharfaa Pieterson*** ***PILOXING SSP Instructor*** --- Click [HERE](https://www.piloxing.com/piloxingforchange-piloxinggives) or more information or to apply to become a PILOXING *GIVES* Mentor or Mentee! --- #### Recent Posts - [THANK YOU!!](https://www.piloxing.com/piloxingforchange/piloxinggives/thank-you) January, 01 2022 - [PILOXING GIVES: Ö3-Weihnachtswunder Piloxing® SSP Online Class on December 16th, 20th and 22nd 2021](https://www.piloxing.com/piloxingforchange/piloxinggives/o3-weihnachtswunder-dec-20-21) December, 01 2021 - [PILOXING GIVES: Let's help the Butterfly Children, December 4th 2021](https://www.piloxing.com/piloxingforchange/piloxinggives/piloxing-gives-butterfly-children-dec-4-21) November, 30 2021 - [PILOXING GIVES: Piloxing HQ Fundraisers PILOXING GIVES Season 2021](https://www.piloxing.com/piloxingforchange/piloxinggives/piloxing-gives-season-hq-2021) November, 16 2021 - [PILOXING GIVES: Charity Event to Support the Flood Victims, December 4th 2021](https://www.piloxing.com/piloxingforchange/piloxinggives/piloxing-gives-spendenevent-zugunster-der-hochwasseropfe-dec-4) November, 16 2021 - [PILOXING GIVES: Sweat With Us on November 14th 2021](https://www.piloxing.com/piloxingforchange/piloxinggives/piloxing-gives-piloxing-gives-sweat-with-us-on-nov-14) November, 11 2021 - [PILOXING GIVES: Sweating for Educational Justice: Piloxing Gives meets Go Beyond! on November 18th 2021](https://www.piloxing.com/piloxingforchange/piloxinggives/piloxing-gives-piloxing-gives-meets-go-beyond-nov-18) November, 11 2021 - [PILOXING GIVES: Africa needs Angels on September 26th 2021](https://www.piloxing.com/piloxingforchange/piloxinggives/piloxing-gives-africa-needs-angels-sept-26) September, 24 2021 - [PILOXING GIVES:  Singapore Cares Project](https://www.piloxing.com/piloxingforchange/piloxinggives/piloxing-gives-singapore-cares-project) August, 15 2021 - [PILOXING GIVES: Singapore Master Class for Aniq](https://www.piloxing.com/piloxingforchange/piloxinggives/piloxing-gives-singapore-masterclass-for-aniq) August, 08 2021 - [PILOXING GIVES: 2015 PILOXING of HOPE fundraiser](https://www.piloxing.com/piloxingforchange/piloxinggives/piloxing-gives-piloxing-of-hope) August, 01 2021 - [Congratulations Anthea for Passing our Elite Instructor Exam!](https://www.piloxing.com/piloxingforchange/piloxinggives/congratulations-anthea) July, 28 2021 - [67 Second Flatback 2nd MandelaDay Challenge](https://www.piloxing.com/piloxingforchange/piloxinggives/67-second-flatback-2nd-mandeladay-challenge) July, 18 2021 - [PILOXING GIVES: Africa Asks 4 Angels](https://www.piloxing.com/piloxingforchange/piloxinggives/africa-asks-4-angels-piloxing-gives) July, 12 2021 - [PILOXING GIVES: USA Mentorship Program Launch](https://www.piloxing.com/piloxingforchange/piloxinggives/piloxing-gives-us-launch) February, 20 2021   [![New Call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/3452386/b572d991-ed9e-45f4-bdad-df79e2472202.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/3452386/b572d991-ed9e-45f4-bdad-df79e2472202) [![New Call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/3452386/a8e5d4df-8702-4478-8beb-85b9fff4e2ba.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/3452386/a8e5d4df-8702-4478-8beb-85b9fff4e2ba) ## Heart-pumping, powerful, and fun!
