Once the training is over, the question is “How?” Iseveryone and their sistera yoga teacher these days?The landscapecan feel impossibly competitive: studio owners don’t respond to your job inquiryemails, the pay offered bygyms makes you wonder if you are being swindled (or worse, that you were swindled. by the high cost of yogateacher training).You are struggling toGIVEaway private lessons, andmeanwhile 5of your closest friends have now started onTHEIR yogateacher training journey.I’ve been there.

It’s full of links for all sorts of resourcesthat will take you deeper. You will walk away with knowledge abouthow to leverage every class, how toestimate your yearly income (and increase it!), how to develop a niche (hint: this is a major part of how you give yourself a raise), and how to think creatively about each class or interactionas a genuineopportunity to grow your “brand”(in the most authentic way possible).By the way, Iam NOTa business coach. I am a yoga teacher who teaches many other yoga teachers. I’m also a doctor of physical therapy = practical, hardworking soul. Iam a multi-passionate human who has tried on a remarkable numberof jobs (yoga and otherwise)and careers over the last 20-someyears, who has worked hard and been poor, worked hard and been paid, and finally - around 7 years ago -started to see myself as my own boss. That changed everything.I’veseen the trends go up down and around in the yoga world, but I’ve also seen lastingpatterns. This courseis a passion project of mine to create more ease in your life, so you can get where you want in your yoga careerfaster than me (if you should so choose) Oh and yes, my sister is also a yoga teacher: )
