S03 E10: Is being a full time yoga teacher ever going to be sustainable?

from Conversations With Yogis · host Ashley Ahrens & Melinda Szepesi

In this episode we tackle the big questions every yoga teacher needs to ask: How do you build a sustainable career in this field? Can you maintain the same energy and workload as you get older? What happens when teaching 3+ classes a day isn’t feasible anymore? We dive into practical strategies for longevity as a full time yoga teacher, from finding the right balance between your teaching and admin/marketing work to setting clear boundaries to the importance of developing business skills. We explore topics like avoiding the false security of full permanent class schedules, creating alternate income streams, reflecting on your strengths, goals, direction of your career progression & defining your own success. You'll also learn about the importance of evolving and pivoting as a self-employed professional, the realities of retreat planning (like managing deposits), and standing up for fair pay in an industry that often undervalues its main assets (the teachers!).  This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to build a long-term, sustainable career in yoga while maintaining their passion and purpose.
