Yoga Teaching

Cueing, class planning and the business of making a living as a yoga teacher.

Yoga Teaching Guides: The Craft and the Career

Getting certified is the easy part. Yoga teaching is what happens afterwards: standing in front of a room, cueing clearly, holding the space when someone cries in savasana, and doing all of it often enough, and well enough, to pay rent. These guides are about that part. They are written by teachers who have made a living this way and who are honest about what it costs.

Who these guides are for

New graduates who have a certificate and a nervous first class ahead of them. Working teachers who want to cue better, plan better, or stop underpricing. Anyone considering teaching children or families, which is a different skill from teaching adults. And teachers whose first language is not English who are working, or hoping to work, internationally.

Nothing here is theoretical. The insurance guide exists because a teacher we know was sued. The income guide exists because most graduates are never told the numbers.

How the yoga teaching guides are ordered

The path starts with the craft: seven tips to be a better teacher, then the reasons the work is worth doing, then a short piece on why we never photograph students in savasana, which is really about what a teacher owes the room.

Then the career. The truth about working in the industry is the guide to read before quitting a job. How to make a living gives real figures and the mix of work that adds up. Insurance and liability covers what you need before your first paid class, and the online yoga business guide explains how to build income that does not depend on a studio timetable.

The path ends with specialisation: the differences between teaching children and adults, and the family yoga guide with poses you can teach to parents and kids together. The English fluency guide sits in the grid for teachers working across languages.
