141: The Best Way To Find Private Yoga Students

Building a career as a yoga teacher is challenging because unlike many other kinds of jobs, you have to build out a career in one hour blocks, working to get and then manage each gig separately.

While the explosion of online offerings and social media as a marketing tool has changed much about the landscape, there is one thing it hasn’t changed. In my view, the best way to build a career as a yoga teacher is to teach private clients.

But what is the best way to find and connect with new potential students?? In 20 years I’ve had to rebuild my practice several times, and I have an old school strategy that I think works really well! We’re breaking it all down in this solo episode of the podcast!

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• why teaching private clients is the best way to build a thriving yoga career 

• what people are getting wrong about digital products 

• my favorite old school way to connect with potential private clients

• a step by step process for reaching out to your community

• four core principles for helping students get really excited about their yoga practice
