These days it feels like every yoga studio has a teacher training program. The number of new teachers bounding into the market every month can feel daunting.
If you are wondering how to make money as a yoga instructor with so many new teachers to compete with, then this is the guide for you.
Living in Argentina I’ve taught in both Spanish and English in a studio and private classes to locals and expats. Teaching yoga really is one of the best travel jobs.
How to Make Money Teaching Yoga
If you are wondering how to become a yoga teacher, then keep reading to learn from my experience. It’s one of the most rewarding and fulfilling jobs that you can do from anywhere in the world.
I pursued my 200-hour training certification six years ago. It allowed me to delve deeper into my own practice and to share it with others while supplementing my income.
Here’s my guide on how to make money as a yoga teacher.
What Is Yoga?
Before we get into how to make money as a yoga instructor, it’s important to understand what yoga is. There is more to yoga than downward-facing dog and yoga pants.
Yoga is a thousands-year-old practice from ancient India. For many people, it is considered sacred and it’s important to approach the practice with respect.
In reality, there are 8 limbs to a complete yoga practice. The physical practice, or asana, that we all know best is only one of these branches. Other limbs include equally important aspects like self-discipline, breath control, and meditation.
You can throw out the idea that you need to be a svelte, hyper-flexible person to teach yoga. Perhaps you want to focus more on teaching meditation and breathing exercises. This is still teaching yoga!
Perhaps you DO want to teach the physical, sweaty practice. That’s ok, too.
There is a niche for everyone and that’s why, by pursuing your own personal passion, there is room for everyone to make money as a yoga teacher.
What Is a Yoga Instructor?
A yoga instructor is someone who has completed a teacher training certification. As I mentioned above, I did a 200-hour course, and I found it extremely useful and rewarding.
The training program you choose should be well-rounded, focusing on anatomy, sequencing, cueing, and even the business of yoga.
Not all instructors are created equal. Pardon the pun, but teaching yoga is an incredibly flexible career path. Think about what it is about yoga that you love.
