Pathway to Profit as a Part Time Yoga Teacher

Do you ever turn up to teach a class and it’s the last thing you feel like doing?

Do you ever find yourself avoiding the stuff you know you need to do to grow your business as a  yoga teacher?

It’s easy to go for the “easy” route isnt it? 

It’s more comfortable to tell yourself you’ll do that thing you know needs doing when you’re less stressed/tired/cold or whatever other story you’re telling yourself is over?

And if you teach regular classes, it’s hard “showing up” with our best versions of ourselves despite the fact that you’re just not feeling it, when you’re a bit under the weather or there are things going on for you which make it hard to focus.

Life happens.

But “showing up” matters.

“Showing up” is what people notice.

AND HOW YOU SHOW UP ALSO MATTERS.

And if it’s not consistent or genuine people KNOW – it affects how they see you; relate to you; treat you.

It can directly impact your business.

In this podcast I share why setting up  good habits, the right habits to show up in our business as we hopefully do on the mat, could make all the difference between struggle and ease and between building a sustainable yoga business and one that’s more like a roller coaster…

And if you’d like to know how I can help you thrive with a £2k to £4k regular monthly income teaching part time and using a strategy that works

Many yoga teachers make some serious mistakes when it comes to advertising their classes or offerings.

They think they can (or even SHOULD) teach ANYONE.

They believe yoga is “inclusive” and it’s “bad” yogic behaviour to exclude anyone.

They don’t really understand why  people come to yoga in the first place.

The result?

They simply try to copy what they see other teachers doing, jump on the bandwagon without REALLY understanding how to stand out in what is an increasingly crowded market place.

In this podcast I’d like to share something I teach the teachers who come on my mentoring programme:  that learning the power of copy and getting clear about what we call your student “avatar” is VITAL for the health of your business.

As a yoga teacher, do you find the whole marketing and business side of yoga overwhelming, confusing and just a little bit “icky?”

Sometimes, those feelings literally stop you from taking action that might actually help you grow your business. 

Or maybe you DO take a lot of action, but you wonder why you’re not getting the results you want? 

You still find yourself with erratic numbers of students at your classes and have no sense of predictability in terms of income.

In this podcast I discuss the most common problems yoga teachers face trying to generate reliable income from their teaching, and explain why seeing it a bit like baking a cake might just help!

Bear with me on this one….I think it might just change your perspective….

I once learned a saying from a mentor which has become a bit of a mantra for me:

Treat your yoga business like a business and it will PAY you like a business.

Treat your yoga business like a hobby and it will COST you like a hobby.

I see too many teachers SAY they want a business, but BEHAVE like it’s a hobby! 

In this podcast learn why knowing the difference between an investment and a cost in your business is a crucial skill you really DO need to master!

I am SO fed up of the hype around teaching yoga online and tying it to 6 figure yoga businesses!

If you’re a yoga teacher struggling to make a regular income from your teaching it’s SO easy to be seduced by the online, high ticket “gurus” who promise the lap top lifestyle and thousands in the bank.

But if it were that easy – everyone would be doing it – and they’re not!  

Honestly?

If you're not already making steady income, month in month out from your teaching, then trying some of these tactics the "gurus" are selling you  is like entering the London Marathon when you haven't even mastered couch to 5 K yet!

 Doesn't it makes more sense to focus on what will bring that cash into your business quickest, so you can feel comfortable knowing the bills are paid?

In this podcast, I want to suggest a different perspective and take on the topic. One which is aspirational but realistic in its approach. One which takes account of your starting point, and makes you look - with your rational head on, at the best path for you on the yoga biz journey.

If you've been tempted, or even bought one of these "guru's" programmes and ended up with it sitting on your computer unfinished a few months in, perhaps this will resonate for you, as well as give you some tips about how you can build your business based on a realistic, yet aspirational vision of what a successful yoga business looks like - for you.

Enjoy – and let me know what you think!

How are you feeling about teaching yoga right now?  

 Over the months of the pandemic and even in recent weeks, as life has returned a little more to normal, I've seen a number of threads in Facebook groups I'm part of  where teachers are talking about "losing their mojo,"  not enjoying teaching like they did and just feeling like pulling the plug on the whole idea of making a living as a yoga teacher.
 
 It's such a shame because all that time, energy, money and passion yoga teachers have invested into becoming a teacher gets lost in this downward spiral.
 
 Some are even talking finding their own practice suffers too, with the wider implications that has for their mental and emotional well-being.
 
 I know how losing your mojo feels!

 I'm creating a series of podcasts dealing with the whole issue of how we, as passionate yoga teachers can get back on track; whether that's in our mindset, our vision and our finances (or maybe all three!)   
 
 And in this, the first podcast I'll share three powerful questions I think really help us get out of that funk and into positive action.

Recognising the stage of business you’re at and using that as your guide about what to focus on first is what will help you gain momentum and confidence far more quickly than trying to jump ahead of yourself too soon.
