3 tips for eager teachers who want to share their practices at studios

This advice comes from my experience both as a yoga teacher out there busting a gut and as studio owner.

1. The first thing we need to understand is that studios have personalities the same as people do and for that reason we fit better in some and we do others.

I know that my use of swear words would not go down well in some studios and yet in others that form of emphasis is completely welcome. Same goes for my dad jokes.

2. Be a part of the community. Most studios are run independently. And certainly don’t make bags of cash. What is really important for most studio owners is the community element.

By being a patron of the studio you also show them that you believe in what they are creating.

This also works in another way in that if you do get put on the cover list the people around you know you and that will make your crowd way nicer than if you’re a stranger stood at the front of the room in a cover slot.

Trust me I’ve had the “who are you?”and the deadeyes and folk walk out of the rooms straight away.

And before anybody says you can’t practice everywhere I’m gonna point out you can’t teach everywhere either…. So choose wisely.

3. Email the studio. If you are a professional yoga teacher then approach through the professional channel. Dms get lost all the time. Inbox babes.

These are my top 3…… If you want the real tea on how to secure that slot at your favourite studio then “get real” my group mentoring container is where the reveal happens.

P.S. I know loads of folk are super keen on teaching at studios - so this is for you if that’s you. There are many benefits AND YET you should prob not have teaching at a studio as your main income stream IMO.
