Build a teaching career that reflects your value


Hi Reader,

The best way for a yoga teacher to get a return on the investment they make in training is to enroll in a program that offers practical, actionable skills for building a sustainable career.

Skills like brand development, strategic marketing, and how to design classes and workshops that reflect your unique voice as a teacher.

Unfortunately, these skills are often missing from YTT curriculums—making it harder for yoga teachers to recoup the time and money they’ve already invested.

Of course, most yoga teachers aren’t in it for the money. They’re motivated by a love for yoga and a sincere desire to serve others.

But love alone doesn’t pay the bills.

Yoga teachers provide real value—and the world knows it. According to Evolve Business Intelligence, the global yoga market is projected to reach $81 billion by 2028. And that growth isn’t just about leggings and props—it’s about yoga itself.

In other words, demand for what you offer is growing. You deserve to benefit from it.

That’s where my small group mentorship comes in.

This program is designed to help you not only grow as a teacher, but also clearly articulate your unique value, identify your ideal students, and communicate your message in ways that resonate—online and in person.

You don’t need a marketing MBA or another expensive certification. You need someone who understands the physical practice, the spiritual heart of yoga, and the practical realities of teaching in the modern world.

In addition to my 800-hour certification and 15+ years of teaching experience—including leading 300-hour YTTs—I also have a background in strategic marketing and digital entrepreneurship. I’ve built a career as a teacher and I’d love to help you do the same.

One-third of the mentorship is devoted to the business of teaching yoga. You’ll learn:

  • How to find and grow your ideal student base
  • How to communicate your unique value (even if you’re teaching vinyasa—no one teaches it quite like you)
  • How to market yourself without feeling icky
  • How to create and promote workshops and retreats that fill up—and keep students coming back

And more.

Because when you learn how to confidently share what you offer, you don’t just earn respect—you earn a living.

Here’s what’s included:

  • Six live 90-minute online sessions
  • Three pre-recorded 60-minute classes
  • A personalized 45-minute 1:1 coaching call
  • Ongoing email support
  • A tight-knit group of just 3 to 6 teachers

When you know how to promote yourself as a teacher, you’ll earn more than just the respect you deserve; you’ll earn the money you deserve, too.

The next cohort begins Saturday, June 21.
Investment: $897 (payment plans available)

And right now, there are only 4 spots left.

If you're ready to define your value, strengthen your voice, and take the next step in your teaching journey...

👉 Apply now to join the Summer 2025 cohort.

Wishing you all good fortune,

Greetings Reader, When the world feels like it’s falling apart, joy can feel out of reach—or even inappropriate. And yet, we hear that allowing ourselves to be joyful—insisting on joyfulness in spite of oppression—is an act of resistance. If joy is to be a meaningful act of resistance, it has to be rooted in something deeper than our circumstances. Yoga offers that depth. How? By showing us a path to the highest love. Yoga wisdom describes a complete Absolute Truth that’s both a what and a...

Greetings Reader, I admit it: I've been an asana slacker lately. So I've made a commitment to dedicate more time to my physical practice this summer. Aside from all of its other benefits, a regular asana practice is a great way to wring the stress out of your body. And these are stressful times. Pranayama is also a great stress reliever; conscious breathing is how I get my mind and body in sync before I start my meditation practice. which is a little ironic because meditation is how I do the...

Greetings Reader, Pop quiz: Is yoga . . . A: neutral territory that welcomes every perspective? or B: based on a philosophy with a perspective of its own? You may think that yoga is inclusive, so the answer must be “A: neutral territory – everyone is welcome.” I think that’s true. But is everyone’s perspective welcome? If you think that everyone’s opinion is a personal truth that's just as valid as anyone else’s, then you might once again choose “A: neutral territory – all perspectives...
