Dear Yoga Teachers: Let's Talk About Money

We yoga teachers work in a largely unregulated field, where expectations, hours, and income all vary wildly. No one teaches us how to turn our work into a career, or to explore teaching beyond the studio. In fact, we are often told that we should do our work for free - that to be paid fairly would be “aparigraha,” and that we should simply let the universe provide! We are told that if we really want to teach, we should expect to get a second job, or marry someone who can support us.

I do not have all the answers. And I do not promise to help you make 6 figures before your next round of estimated taxes are due (does anyone remember to pay those?!). But I have made teaching yoga my full time job, my passion, and my career for nearly a decade. I have learned things. I have made huge mistakes. I have also succeeded beyond what I thought was possible. Most of all, I believe that everyone in this field needs to be in conversation about the money we make, and to believe that our work deserves to be valued.

So let’s have that conversation:
