Pathway to Profit as a Part Time Yoga Teacher

Is there a gap between where you are now in your yoga business and where you’d like to be? If you feel driven to share what you know, if you know you’re a good teacher who can help students, but the reality of filling classes, covering costs and heaven forbid actually making a living out of teaching seems a million miles away,  then have you considered investing in business mentoring? In this podc...

December is a notoriously quiet time for yoga teachers, with student numbers naturally dwindling as other commitments and the colder weather mean attending  yoga classes slide down the priority list. For some teachers, it feels an anxious time. Income almost dries up, and it’s hard to remain enthusiastic and motivated when just one or two students turn up to your classes. But if you find yourself...

Do you find your class attendances dwindle in December? How does this time of year make you feel as a yoga teacher? I’ve noticed so many threads in yoga teacher groups recently lamenting just how much of a struggle it is  to manage the dwindling numbers of students. In some cases, the income they’re bringing in doesn’t match the outgoings for the yoga space and other costs, so they’re running at a...

In a recent coach call for teachers on my business mentoring programme one teacher expressed how she felt like she was taking two steps forward and one back. She sounded apologetic. I could tell she was feeling a little deflated and at one of those moments in any journey which takes us to an uncomfortable place where we start to question why we’re doing what we’re doing. There are actually 2 eleme...

Do you ever turn up to teach a class and it’s the last thing you feel like doing? Do you ever find yourself avoiding the stuff you know you need to do to grow your business as a  yoga teacher? It’s easy to go for the “easy” route isnt it?  It’s more comfortable to tell yourself you’ll do that thing you know needs doing when you’re less stressed/tired/cold or whatever other story you’re telling you...

Many yoga teachers make some serious mistakes when it comes to advertising their classes or offerings. They think they can (or even SHOULD) teach ANYONE. They believe yoga is “inclusive” and it’s “bad” yogic behaviour to exclude anyone. They don’t really understand why  people come to yoga in the first place. The result? They simply try to copy what they see other teachers doing, jump on the bandw...

As a yoga teacher, do you find the whole marketing and business side of yoga overwhelming, confusing and just a little bit “icky?” Sometimes, those feelings literally stop you from taking action that might actually help you grow your business.  Or maybe you DO take a lot of action, but you wonder why you’re not getting the results you want?  You still find yourself with erratic numbers of students...

I once learned a saying from a mentor which has become a bit of a mantra for me: Treat your yoga business like a business and it will PAY you like a business. Treat your yoga business like a hobby and it will COST you like a hobby. I see too many teachers SAY they want a business, but BEHAVE like it’s a hobby!  In this podcast learn why knowing the difference between an investment and a cost in yo...
