Different Ways of Marketing Yoga Teaching Services

Since there are extremely few instructor programs that teach you the ways to make a living from your yoga teaching skills, it's quite possible that your teacher training course did not touch on the marketing aspect of becoming a full time yoga teacher. In addition, the field of yoga is becoming quite competitive, and you might find yourself among several others who are also struggling to find their niche market.



Ways to Market Yoga Teaching Services

The given tips can be tried for marketing your Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga teacher training.

  • It's very important to have at least a simple website with contact information, a photograph, and experience. You must update the website regularly with any information about where you'll be teaching.
  • Ensure that you have business cards. You can very easily print a quick response code on these that will scan directly to your website. Give it out everywhere you go.
  • Get in touch with the local yoga studios, and advise them of your availability to fill in as a substitute or to pick up a weekly class. However, it's advised not to depend on substitute teaching positions to be an end all solution to market yourself.
  • Try creating a marketing event. For instance, you could visit salons or spas and offer to do a short yoga demonstration or talk about the benefits of this beautiful art.
  • Plan a visit to institutions such as hospitals and schools or other corporations. Some organizations offer lunch hour services to their employees and you might be able to book some half hour classes. It's vital to know that corporate yoga is really a great opportunity for yoga teachers.

Remember that as you start to steadily get yourself out there, you will find that one thing will lead to another, and your teaching practice will slowly start to manifest itself into a growing business. However, if you don't want to do it yourself, you might want to find someone who'd handle the business and the marketing aspect.
