The Yoga Career Shift I Was Afraid to Make

In this personal episode of Yoga Insider, I'm sharing about the shift I made towards building a fully independent yoga career outside of the traditional studio model.This conversation is reflective - studios & community centers were foundational in my development as a yoga teacher, and I wouldn't be where I am today without the opportunities that were passed along to me by other teachers and business owners.Over time, my priorities began to shift, and as I stepped more deeply into offering education, mentorship, and pre-registered programming, I realized I needed a different model in order to sustainably continue this work long-term.In this episode, I reflect on:- The financial reality of teaching yoga full-time, and the ceiling that many teachers hit working within traditional studio models.- Why I started having more honest conversations with other yoga teachers about sustainability in the yoga industry.- The emotional transition from studio teacher to independent educator and how becoming independent helped me let go of the need for external validation.This episode is about evolution and how your personal business model can change with you as you grow.Instagram: @alexandria.waycottYouTube: @yogainsiderpodcastWebsite: www.alexandriawaycottyoga.comSend me an email!
