Why Most Yoga Teachers Struggle to Make a Consistent Income (and What to Do Instead)

MP3•Episode home

When I first started teaching yoga, I realized pretty quickly that the traditional studio model just doesn’t add up. You teach more, you hustle harder, but your bank account stays the same — or even goes backwards. Maybe you’ve felt that too?

Here’s the truth: it’s not because you’re failing. It’s because the model itself is flawed. Healing and nurturing professions have always been undervalued, and yoga carries the extra weight of the belief that it should be free. Add on low studio pay, income tied to hours, and constant rushing — and it’s no wonder most teachers feel stuck.

But there is another way. In this episode, I’m sharing why the current yoga teaching model is broken and what you can do instead — by embracing entrepreneurship and creating a business that supports you as much as you support your students.

What you’ll learn:
✨ Why the studio model was never designed to give teachers financial stability
✨ The cultural and historical reasons yoga teachers are underpaid
✨ Why embracing entrepreneurship doesn’t take away from your teaching — it protects it
✨ Real examples of yoga teachers who created memberships, programs, and offers that changed everything

If you’ve been struggling to make a living teaching yoga, please know: it’s not because you’re not good enough. It’s because the system itself is broken. And once you see yourself not just as a teacher but as an entrepreneur, things can shift in a beautiful way.
