My fellow yoga teachers- it’s not an easy time right now. I’ve been speaking to yoga teacher friends all around the world (England, Australia, America, Mexico), and all of them are saying the same thing… It’s getting harder and harder to live off Yoga alone.
Over the last 10-15 years we went through this sort of honeymoon period of yoga teaching.. All our classes were packed, teacher trainings were filled up the minute the dates were announced, was trending all over the world..
It was an easier time to live solely off being a Yoga teacher. There were, however, some big compromises being made as a result to the world of Yoga that we loved so much. Yoga became so mainstream that it became diluted. Everyone was becoming a certified teacher, even people who weren’t really interested in Yoga.
The tidal wave has passed, and now times are harder but the core yogis remain. Don’t be discouraged or disheartened if you’re no longer able to live off Yoga alone. That’s ok. Yoga is a passion, and sometimes our passions don’t pay our bills.
So if you’re struggling to get by, it’s ok to find other means to pay your bills whilst keeping that Yoga passion alive and well. Those of us who are still here riding that yoga train, we were never in it for the money anyway were we?
Keep going yogis! I’m right there with you! 🙏🏻❤️
