148: My Advice For New Yoga Teachers
Anytime I connect with a new-ish yoga teacher I end up giving a lot of the same advice, so I collected all of it in one place, right here in today’s podcast episode! Whether you are a new teacher or an experienced one in a phase of rebuilding (haven’t we all been rebuilding lately??) this episode has all my best pearls of wisdom, hard won over the last twenty years of full-time yoga teaching!
In this episode, you’ll hear:
why you should start a business bank account
the most important thing you can do as a new teacher
the difference between teaching and creating content
how important (or not) a website and branding is
what kind of teaching gigs I recommend for new teachers
how to get your first teaching jobs
