Once I am a Certified Yoga Teacher, how should I start
opening my business?
Learn to Market Yourself: Learn everything you can about
marketing and take charge of it. This will be one of your most
expensive overhead costs, especially when you do any paid
advertising. In a small “mom and pop” type business, you
can’t afford to ignore marketing and advertising costs.
If you already have the money, you can delegate it to
someone else. However, you really should take charge of
bringing new students in. Since this is your business, you will
be more concerned with your numbers and return-on-
investment than anyone else. Ignoring your marketing tasks,
statistics, return-on-investment, and techniques is a classic
way to be out of the Yoga business.
Start Teaching Part Time: This will keep your overhead down
and there are many opportunities that most active Yoga
teachers are not aware of, as I have mentioned in the bonus
book How to Grow Your Own Successful Yoga Business.
Continuing Education: To become a certified Hatha Yoga
instructor is one thing, to stay at the top of your game is quite
another. You should still keep your practice sharp, but you
should also expand your knowledge of Chakras, Mudras,
Yogic philosophy, anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology.
Luckily, the Camp-in-a-Box has plenty of material to keep
you going after graduation.
There are plenty of online Yoga homestudy courses and we
are developing some of our own as I write, but there are also
workshops, seminars, state or province wide Yoga teacher
associations, videos, trade magazines, and books.
With all of these options -- there is now, no excuse to
stagnate.
