When I began teaching 16 years ago, I simply put a ‘free’ notice on the council’s website in the local library and my classes filled up. If only it were that simple today! Now, with yoga more popular than ever and an abundance of teachers qualifying every year, I share some key pieces of advice drawn from my own lived experience, for those seeking to make a long-term, viable living from teaching yoga:
Don’t rush. Prepare
The first thing I advise teachers who say they want to give up a well-paid job to teach yoga full time is: ‘Don’t rush into it’. Unless you have a solid back-up plan for income or a large cushion of savings that will ensure you have your bills covered no matter what, you are leaving yourself open. After qualifying, I taught yoga part time alongside being a solicitor, building up my classes for seven years before the pull of the yoga profession became too strong to ignore. Some of my early students are still practicing with me now. These were classes I set up myself rather than teaching for studios. By taking this approach, you will get to enjoy teaching the yoga you love, without immediately going wholesale into the financial responsibility of a full-time business.
