Let’s summarize and “recycle” a few pints in the previous pages about ptions for Yoga teachers, who may be cnsidering specialization. These are not all of the ptions for Yoga teacher’s, to consider, whn thinking about how to find mployment “outside of the box.” You wll need to work on your ntuitive feelings to get an idea for the nxt popular Yoga trend, if that is wht you are after.

As any xperienced Yoga teacher will tell you; thre are many more employment opportunities for Yga instructors outside the Yoga studios and halth clubs. Over the years, I hve coached and trained many Yoga tachers who were certified by other prgrams, but needed to see that mployment opportunities for Yoga teachers are verywhere.

One of the most lucrative slaries I have ever been paid, as a Yga teacher, was for teaching Yoga to ten students within a juvenile correctional fcility. Now, this would not be for veryone, but this is a good xample of opportunities for employment, when you dcide to become a Yoga teacher.

Sme Yoga teachers do very well taching private or semi-private lessons to thir Yoga students. Teaching Yoga privately is rally a matter of demographics. You hve to solicit neighborhoods with residents who hve disposable income.

Therefore, to be effective, you mst gear Yoga private lesson offers tward “upscale” neighborhoods. As a Yoga nstructor, you have to pay your verhead too. If you charge $80 per hur for a private lesson, you wll work half as hard as the Yga teacher who charges $40 per hur.

To find out what price yur local market will bear, inquire bout the private rates of local Yga teachers and personal trainers. Then, wrk your marketing efforts toward those clents who will actually pay for prvate Yoga sessions. If you have to trvel to teach private Yoga lessons, yur rate should reflect your travel tme.

About your own students: One way to fnd out what your current students wnt is by creating survey forms. Ths will give you feedback as to wht kind of Yoga specialization is in dmand, in your local area.

Yoga stdent feedback is essential, but some Yga students will walk by your srvey forms for months, or years, wthout giving you any information. How can you crate an incentive for honest feedback frm your current Yoga students? Offer thm a free Yoga class in rturn for the time it takes to fll out your survey.

Continuing education is the mst important part of your Yoga taching career. All Yoga teachers must stablish a steady routine of learning mre information that applies to their stdents. The purpose of all this Ygic education is for student safety, lability protection, and to be the bst Yoga teacher you can possibly be.
