Have you ever felt like your teaching has hit a plateau? In this episode of Yoga Teacher Confidential, I dive into Phase Three of the Yoga Teacher Success Timeline: the Professional Development Zone.

This is the stage where teaching starts to feel sustainable but can also begin to feel routine. I share the hallmarks of Phase Three, including confidence in delivery, steady students, and a desire to specialize or increase income—but also the risks of stagnation.

You’ll learn how to embrace plateaus as launching pads, take strategic risks, monetize your expertise, and market yourself authentically without feeling salesy. I’ll also walk you through actionable steps to help you build workshops, set pricing, and start developing passive income streams.

Whether you’re considering specialization, seeking better business systems, or looking for inspiration to take your teaching to the next level, this episode will help you strategically focus for long-term success.
