Is it possible to make a living as a yoga teacher?

Very Nice Indeed! asked:


I’m planning on becoming a yoga teacher. I’ll have 6 months living expenses saved up. Does anyone you know make a living solely from teaching yoga? Or do they do other things - if so what? And what kind of money can you make? I’d be teaching here in New York City. Thanks!

    People definitely make a living as yoga instructors. Are you planning on starting your own studio? You’ll have a much easier time finding customers to work with if you have a good space, and if you’re certified. If not, New York is a big place, you’ll probably be able to find work at an already established studio.

    Here’s a website about a woman who is a yoga instructor:

    and an excerpt from that website:

    Fawcett charges $10 per class and offers private lessons for $75. And since she only opened her doors six months ago, she wasn’t sure how much she would make as a full-time instructor. “I estimate that the full-time yoga teacher teaches 14 classes a week,” she said. “That instructor will earn about $29,000 a year. A fair range would be $30,000 to $40,000.”

    And this is a group of registered yoga instructors and studios:

    It might help if you register with groups like this one.

    Good luck!
