149: What I’m Doing to Keep My Private Teaching Calendar Full
Teaching yoga, and maybe especially teaching private clients is, to be candid, an unstable way to make a living. But I have done it successfully for twenty years, so it can be done!
I’m in a season in my life where I have limited spots available to teach, but financially I need every single one of those spots filled every week. I have about ten standing private clients and then I have at least five spots every week that need to be filled.
So in today’s episode, I am giving you all the details about what I am doing to keep my private teaching calendar full. It is working really well!
In this episode, you’ll hear:
why I recommend having at least one virtual private yoga client
how having a list of people who I see infrequently has helped
how I talk about my work with confidence and seriousness
why I STILL offer free private lessons, and recommend you do too
how I manage my calendar booking software so I don’t miss out on filling a spot
advice I have changed my mind on, and why I invite students to have their friends join their private lesson
