There is a conversation many yoga teachers avoid. Money. More specifically, the financial burden that can arise when teaching yoga becomes your sole source of income. For many teachers, yoga begins as a passion. It is meaningful work. It allows us to support our communities, share practices we love, and create genuine impact. Yet when … Continue reading Exploring the Financial Burden of Yoga Teaching as a Sole Income →

Not every yoga class fills. Not every retreat sells out immediately. Not every workshop lands the way you hoped it would. For many yoga teachers, this can feel deeply personal. It is easy to spiral into thoughts like:“Maybe I’m failing.”“Maybe nobody wants this anymore.”“Maybe I’m not good enough.” But slow sales are not automatically a … Continue reading What to Do When Things Aren’t Selling Out →

Many yoga teachers train because they love teaching yoga. They imagine classes, students, sequencing, connection, community and meaningful work. What often comes as a shock is how much of running a yoga business is not teaching at all. For many full-time yoga teachers, teaching may only be around 30% of the workload. The rest is … Continue reading The Hidden Workload of Running a Yoga Business →

Growing a yoga business is one thing. Sustaining it is another. At the beginning, there is energy, urgency and momentum. You are telling everyone about your classes, putting up posters, flyering, emailing, networking, launching new ideas and learning as you go. But once your business is established, a different question appears: how do you keep … Continue reading What It Takes to Sustain a Yoga Business – The Difference between Growth and Sustainability →

In this workshop with guest expert Helen Cooper, we explore a part of teaching many yoga teachers are only just beginning to understand: trauma, and what it means to teach in a trauma informed way. For many teachers, trauma informed yoga can sound like something reserved for specialist settings. It may bring to mind work … Continue reading What is Trauma & Trauma-Informed Yoga →

Yoga philosophy is not something separate from teaching yoga. It is the ground beneath it. This workshop with guest expert Katharine Pincham explores the Bhagavad Gītā, ancient yoga texts, and how yoga teachers can bring philosophy into classes in a way that feels meaningful, accessible, and rooted in lived experience. Why the Bhagavad Gītā matters … Continue reading The Bhagavad Gītā & Beyond: Yoga Philosophy for Yoga Teachers →

In this workshop with guest expert Lauren Gray, we explore a part of sequencing many yoga teachers overlook: mudrās. When inspiration feels low, mudrās can become a simple but powerful way to generate fresh class themes, shape the felt experience of an āsana, and bring more subtlety into your teaching. Rather than seeing mudrās as … Continue reading Yoga Class Sequencing with Mudrās →

In this workshop, we explore a question many yoga teachers are quietly holding: how do we continue to teach, serve, and sustain our yoga business during challenging socioeconomic times? With rising costs of living, financial uncertainty, and shifting student priorities, it is natural for concern to arise. Yet alongside that concern sits a deeper truth. … Continue reading How to Keep Teaching Yoga in Challenging Socioeconomic Times →

Understanding the lymphatic system can help us teach with more clarity, especially when students are dealing with swelling, lymphedema, recovery after cancer treatment, or simply a body that tends to feel puffy, heavy, or sluggish. It also offers useful insight into how breath and movement support health for all students, not just those with a … Continue reading Yoga & The Lymphatic System →

In this workshop, we explore a part of teaching many yoga teachers overlook: the subtle stages through which something comes into being. In yogic philosophy, creation is not random. It unfolds through three expressions of śakti that shape how ideas, classes, workshops, and whole bodies of work come to life. When teachers understand this rhythm, … Continue reading The Three Śaktis of Creation in Your Teaching →

We often talk about marketing, visibility, and growth. Yet one of the most important assets in any yoga business is far quieter than any of these. It is trust. Trust is what makes a student return. It is what makes someone book the retreat before they have read every detail. It is what makes a … Continue reading Trust: The Most Undervalued Asset in Your Yoga Business →

Corporate yoga is one of the areas many yoga teachers feel drawn towards, yet it often feels difficult to access. Questions usually arise around where to find companies, how to approach them professionally, what to include in a proposal, and how to price corporate sessions without underselling the work. Corporate yoga can become a valuable … Continue reading Securing Corporate Yoga: Pricing, Proposals, Networking and LinkedIn →

If you are feeling stagnant in your teaching or your yoga business, you are not alone. It is one of the most common messages I hear from yoga teachers. Motivation dips. Inspiration dries up. Everything can start to feel oddly flat, even when you still care. This is not a personal failing. It is information. … Continue reading Feeling Stagnant: Top Tips to Get Your Mojo Back →

In this workshop with guest teacher Dina Cohen, we explore what Yoga Nidrā truly is, how it differs from Śavāsana, the stages of the practice, and how yoga teachers can guide it safely and skilfully. Interest in rest based practices has never been stronger. Students are exhausted. Nervous systems are overloaded. The appetite for restorative … Continue reading Guiding Yoga Nidrā →

Social media does not need to feel chaotic. Many yoga teachers swing between posting constantly and disappearing completely. They overthink captions, second-guess content, and worry they are either saying too much or not enough. The truth is simple: clarity replaces overwhelm. When you understand how, what, and when to post on social media, your content … Continue reading How, What, When to Post on Social Media →

Food can make or break a yoga retreat. Teachers often focus on the teaching, the space, and the schedule, assuming the food will simply take care of itself. In reality, catering is one of the biggest energetic and logistical factors in how a retreat feels, for both the host and the guests. When expectations are … Continue reading How to Get the Best Out of Your Caterer When Running Yoga Retreats →

Every yoga business requires investment at different stages. The real challenge isn’t whether to spend money, it’s knowing what to spend it on and why. In this workshop, we explore how yoga teachers can approach investment as a deliberate strategy rather than a reactive or emotional decision. When spending is rooted in clarity instead of … Continue reading Investing Wisely in Your Yoga Business →

Śavāsana is often treated like the inevitable last five minutes. But it is not a throwaway. It is the part of practice where everything you have guided can finally land. For many students, it is also the hardest part. Vulnerability, stillness, exposure, racing thoughts, restlessness, discomfort, even fear. If we want students to connect with … Continue reading How to Upgrade Savasana →

Yoga is often spoken about in poetry. Sometimes it is spoken about in promises. The body, however, is stubbornly literal. It responds to what we actually do, repeatedly, over time. This is where physiology becomes a gift for yoga teachers. It helps us speak about benefits with clarity, teach with more precision, and make fewer … Continue reading Exploring the Physiology of Yoga →

A sustainable yoga business is not built by intensity. It is built by pace. January can trick you into sprint mode. More enquiries. More interest. More “I should really…” thoughts. If you rush to match that pace, you risk burning through the very thing your business depends on: your nervous system, your consistency, and your … Continue reading Avoiding Overwhelm When Growing Your Yoga Business →
