Kickstart your teaching on this practical immersion

Struggling to translate your teacher training knowledge into confident teaching? You’re not alone! Many graduates of 200-Hour Trainings from around the world and virtual trainings have expressed the need for more support and guidance. Often they will apply for 300 Hour Trainings to bridge the teaching gap, however this leaves them out of their depth amongst professional and established teachers as they have no teaching experience. Some apply to complete our entire 200 Hour Teacher Training course to get guidance from our expert team and practical teaching experience- however this is exhaustive and time consuming. 

Don’t redo your entire 200 Hour training or join a 300 Hour without practical experience!

Ethical Practices and Business Skills for Yoga Teachers

The journey to becoming a successful yoga teacher goes beyond mastering asanas, teaching and alignment. At Himalaya Yoga Valley, we believe that a well-rounded yoga teacher is also equipped with the knowledge of ethical practices and essential business skills. These lectures focuses on two crucial aspects:

1. Ethical Principles in Modern Yoga Practice: Explore the evolving landscape of yoga ethics in the modern world and engage in meaningful discussions that address the challenges and opportunities within yoga communities today. This section provides a platform for deep reflection on topics such as:

Inclusivity and Accessibility: Creating yoga spaces that welcome everyone, regardless of background or ability.

Cultural Appropriation vs. Cultural Appreciation: Understanding the difference and how to honor yoga’s roots while teaching.

Teacher-Student Relationships: Maintaining professionalism, boundaries, and fostering a safe environment.

Sustainability in Yoga Practices: Promoting eco-friendly practices in classes, studios, and yoga retreats.

2. Essential Business Skills for Yoga Teachers: Develop fundamental business skills to launch and sustain a successful career as a yoga teacher. This part of the training covers essential areas of business development, helping you to not only thrive as a teacher but also as a conscious entrepreneur. Key topics include:

Marketing and Branding: Understanding how to create a compelling brand that resonates with your values and attracts like-minded students.

Customer Acquisition and Retention: Strategies for building a loyal student base, from crafting engaging class experiences to creating meaningful community connections.

Digital Presence: Learn how to effectively use social media, websites, and online platforms to grow your yoga business and connect with a global audience.

Values-Driven Business: Establishing and running a yoga business that reflects your core beliefs and ethical values, from pricing strategies to collaborations.

By the end of this training, you will have a solid foundation in both the ethical dimensions of modern yoga and the essential business skills needed to thrive in your yoga career as well as hands on teaching experience.
