About this listen
I wish I knew then what I know now. Famous last words. Seven years invested, saddled with a ton of debt, and loads of personal stress, with sadness, I closed my failing yoga studio at the end of 2015.
But I found light at the end of the tunnel. I turned around a disastrous situation from all the lessons learned.
Now I pass my knowledge on to you. Save thousands of dollars, jump ahead of your competition, and thoroughly understand the business of yoga before you begin.
Every bit of business knowledge I acquired over the past decade is in this book. I have spared nothing so you can excel. From the best marketing strategies, to building a solid client base and an unbreakable reputation, you will get to appreciate teaching yoga instead of getting caught up in the trial and error of the first years in business.
Sit back, grab a cup of tea, and get cracking! Your business is not going to start all by itself, you know. Who knew starting a business could be this much fun?

There’s so much more to teaching yoga than doing yoga - from building a relationship with a studio (or opening your own) to navigating client relationships, publicizing classes, and avoiding burnout. Sage Rountree has been training yoga teachers for over a decade, and she’s heard the same concerns over and over: How can I help my students best? How can I keep my teaching fresh? How can I make smart choices around my schedule, my money, and the next steps in my career? The Professional Yoga Teacher’s Handbook speaks directly to these concerns in a warm, friendly voice.

Insightful
After listening to this book I'm not quite sure if I'm happy that I opened my studio before hearing it are sorry that I didn't listen to this book before opening a lot of words is said may be true but I think it's important to realize there were all different and one thing she does say in the bug is that our ideas of success vary some people's idea of success is all about the dollar signs others is about the good that they're doing I do appreciate all the information and there are several takeaways thank you for sharing your story

Poor Yoga Teacher AWAKEN!
We want to help others and we need to make a living. Most of us yogis spend thousands of dollars on training and have problems charging for our services. We have 'bills to pay and mouths to feed", but we feel anti-yogic to asking for livable wages. Does this sound like you? Are you stuck? Do you want to be successful but lack the business skills? This is the book for you and me!
We need to focus on our passion and population! We need to hear about the mistakes and missteps of others and try to learn some lessons through others who have offered us their expertise. Learning boundaries and doing self-care is part of our own health.
How to avoid getting into debt, overhead, overinvestment and keeping the business manageable. Yoga teaching and making a life can be successful!
