Corporate yoga might just be the hidden gem of your teaching business. In this episode, I share everything you need to know to succeed in this unique environment—from landing gigs to crafting office-friendly sequences.

You’ll learn how to approach HR and wellness directors, price your sessions with confidence, and teach diverse groups who may never have stepped foot in a studio. I break down exactly how to adapt your teaching whether your students are in skirts or in steel-toed boots—and why the CEO might be your student.

We also explore logistical tips to make your classes smooth and professional, how to build your credibility with documentation and feedback, and why teaching in corporate settings can help you evolve into a more confident, versatile teacher.

Whether you’re seeking a more stable income stream or looking to expand your reach beyond the studio, corporate classes offer tremendous growth potential when approached strategically.

As yoga teachers, we’re often prepared for the flow—but what about the unexpected? From nosebleeds and nausea to cramps and emotional releases, minor medical situations happen more often than we expect. In this episode, I share practical, professional ways to respond to these common classroom incidents without derailing your teaching or unsettling your students.

You’ll learn how to recognize early signs of trouble, maintain class momentum while tending to individual needs, and communicate clearly and compassionately—no drama required. These stories and strategies will help you create a classroom culture where both self-care and safety are normalized.

I also share the general principles I use to handle these situations with skill and composure, so you’re never caught off guard.

We cover:

• What to do when a student gets dizzy, nauseous, or emotional
• How to handle nosebleeds, cramps, or cuts without disrupting the class
• Tips for preventing minor issues before they start
• How to build a culture where rest and modification are welcome
• The quiet power of professional, compassionate leadership

Tight rooms, big challenges—and even bigger opportunities!

In this episode, I share lessons from years of teaching yoga in spaces that may have seemed too small on paper but that turned out to be perfectly intimate in practice.

You’ll hear my go-to strategies for mat arrangements, movement economy, managing props, and creating a powerful group energy, even when everyone’s elbow-to-elbow. Plus, I offer a fresh perspective on the hidden gifts that small spaces bring to your teaching practice.

If you’re working in gyms, multipurpose rooms, or cozy studios, this episode will help you turn limitations into teaching strengths.
