Teaching yoga asks us to be visible. Whether we are guiding a class, writing a newsletter, posting on social media or speaking about our work, we are continually inviting people to connect with us.

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.

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.

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.
