Fill Your Practice this Fall

Happy September, everyone! How was your Summer? If you’re like many Yoga Teachers, the Summer was great for some well-deserved R&R.

What are your goals for the coming months?

What are the top 3 changes you want to make to your business in the next 12 months?
What has held you back from already making these changes? What else do you need to realize your goals?
How would realizing these goals impact your business? Your life?
Who do you have helping you to realize your goals?

If you are ready to go to build an abundant yoga practice this Fall, and want support to make this happen, check out our Upcoming Schedule of The Yoga Business Builder.

Why?

1. Fill Your Practice

While more people are getting certified by yoga teacher training, the price of yoga classes – and teachers’ income – has gone down. Many teachers rush from class to class. This can become exhausting and lead to burn out. Taking more teacher trainings isn’t necessarily going to set you apart. You have to know how to grow your business if you want to be able to teach full-time, make a good living, and balance your personal life.

2. Learn Specialized Education

We offer the most specialized, convenient, affordable business education for yoga teachers. We have partnered with world renowned yoga and business experts you couldn’t normally access. These experts have shared their wealth of knowledge to create our curriculum. We are the first organization to bring these experts together for yoga teacher to grow their practice.

3. Have a Community

Most yoga teachers lack the support they need to rise to their highest potential. Without adequate support and accountability, not only can your business become a lonely road, it can also lack the stimulus you need to take yourself to higher levels of success. Our groups meet to not only learn the materials, but also to share each others’ wins, challenges, and keep each other accountable.

4. Be Yoga Alliance® Certified

The Yoga Business Builder meets the standards of excellence required for accreditation by Yoga Alliance®. You can use the Continuing Education Credits you earn through this program to keep your registration current.

5. Save On Your Tuition

We have kept tuition low for all of our programs, especially when compared to other teacher trainings, conferences, and one-on-one coaching. Payment options are available.

Are You Building Your Practice Alone?

Our Faculty is part of what makes us unique.

As a member of our global community, you probably know that our yoga business training programs are taught by seasoned Yoga Teacher Trainers, who have partnered with us as our Faculty. Our Faculty have excelled not only in their own yoga practices, but also in building thriving yoga businesses.

We’re BIG on team-building.

Why? Most Yoga Teachers lack the support system and accountability they need to rise to their highest potential. Without adequate support, not only can your business feel like a lonely road (outside your class), but it can also lack the stimulus you need to take yourself to higher levels of success.

Having just held another lively Faculty Information Call with some very seasoned Yoga Teacher Trainers interested in growing their practice by joining our team, we wanted to spotlight a few of our Faculty members. (We think they are all pretty amazing

* Jodi Komitor, Next Generation Yoga (Encinitas, CA)
* Laura Phelps, Feel Good Yoga (Victoria, BC)
* Tony Murdock, Toward Stillness Meditation (Mississauga, ON)
* April Martucci, FireDragon Yoga Method (NYC, NY)
* Gail Grossman, Om Sweet Om Yoga (Port Washington, NY)

And this list doesn’t even count the many yoga and business experts who contributed content to our yoga business training programs!

Learn How to LOVE Every Bit of Your Yoga Business

Whether you are one of the many new members of our growing community, or have been with us right from Day 1, we wanted to share something with you that might come as a surprise.

We don’t fundamentally see this as a business school.

How could the Yoga School of Business NOT fundamentally be a business school, you ask?

It’s a question we get all the time.

So we wanted to start a dialogue with you about it. We’ll even post a link to this on our Facebook fan page for all your comments!

OK back to the question.

We are an organization that supports yoga teachers to do more of the yoga you love, more easily. We chose business education as a means of doing this because there’s a lack of accessible, affordable, specialized yoga business training.

The effect of this unavailability is really showing.

It’s rare to hear someone come out of a yoga class not feeling rejuvenated. Yet it is equally as rare to meet a yoga teacher who is totally fulfilled with their business, from their finances to their life balance. As the teacher, you deserve to thrive from your practice in all areas of your life, just as much as your students do. But part of what you need to realize this, is missing.

Many of you have received only part of the education you need to have the full, balanced, thriving practice you want. As the saying goes, “you don’t know what you don’t know.”

The challenge is mostly not related to your asana. Sure, you always want to improve your practice. But the underlying reason why many teachers struggle to make a great living, balanced with an equally great personal life, is that you have never learned essential business skills, like how to:

Market yourself, authentically (i.e. no cheesy sales person)
Discover your niche
Charge what you’re worth (or do your taxes!)
Get organized
(let alone how to keep up your own practice)

What started as our quest to make a difference in yoga teachers’ lives has grown into a pioneering school that provides the best, most convenient, affordable business education for yoga teachers.

Here is what one of our students had to say:

As a new yoga teacher with absolutely no business experience, I was looking to gain more insight and knowledge on how to find success in my new career path, while still finding time for my personal life. After just the first two months of training, I have already noticed a positive shift in my life, both in my career as a yoga teacher and in my own personal life experiences. This training has provided me with not only useful information on how to market my business and stay organized, but also on how to shift my perspective on my life as a whole in order to find success in everything I do. This is a life-changing course, which can only benefit those who wish to be a part of it. The weekly coaching calls provide me with great support and insight from those who have been in my position before and truly want to help me achieve my goals and dreams. I am so excited to continue growing, learning, and finding success throughout the remainder of the training, and to carry on all that I have gained into my life after the training ends.
- Chantelle King
