  1. Yoga Teacher Training

  2. So you graduated from yoga teacher training…Now what? • How to get started as a yoga teacher once you graduate? • There’s a unit on the business of yoga but it’s something like 2 hours out of a 200-hour training program.

  3. Here’s what the situation generally looks like for a new yoga teacher in New York City. • Graduate from your teacher training program – Hooray! • You audition at studios…for the sub list. • You make it onto the sub list. • Hopefully start subbing classes and get good feedback. • Then maybe after you’ve subbed for a while, you’ll be offered your own class.

  4. Here are few tips and lessons on how to get started as a yoga teacher

  5. Start at home What are the opportunities available at the studio where you are doing your training? Are there internships or mentorships? Can you assist in classes? Can you teach their community class? It’s often easiest to start close to home and build out from there. • Develop relationships at other studios Get to know the style of the studio and teachers, how teachers conduct class, etc. Do they chant? Do they have a dharma talk at the beginning? At the end? Are they focused on anatomy?

  6. Show up Show that you are dependable and reliable and that they can count of you. If you are dependable and reliable and a good teacher? You’ll likely get more sub gigs and more teaching opportunities. • But set boundaries When you first get started teaching yoga, it’s easy to say yes to everything and get yourself in a situation where you get burnt out. Make sure that you take time for yourself to recharge and to get on your mat and practice.

  7. Follow-up Not in an annoying and stalker-like way but in a professional way. I have found this to be so important both in the yoga world and with freelance writing. People will get busy and they will lose your email or voicemail. It’s important to persevere and remind people that you are interested. • Stay inspired We teach the same yoga postures over and over again but how can you, as a teacher, bring something new to that experience. Go to class. Practice a different lineage of yoga.
