Yoga Teacher Salary: What You Can Expect
When considering becoming a Registered Yoga Teacher, it is natural to wonder if this career change will be financially beneficial. While the mental and emotional benefits of finding inner peace and helping others may be astronomical, it is perfectly normal to question whether you will be able to make ends meet in this profession.
The truth is:
As a professional yoga teacher, you will have the potential to make as much or as little as you put into your career. You salary will ultimately be determined by the hours you keep and the clientele you develop. That said, when beginning this profession, many new instructors use yoga as a way to increase their income, or as a side job.
However, with sessions under your belt, a passion for what you do and a steady stream of students, being a Registered Yoga Teacher has the potential to be very financially rewarding.
Depending, of course, on the company or studio you work for, whether you own the studio yourself, teach private lessons in the studio or at students homes, travel around the world teaching or work full-time or part-time, your average salary can fall between $40,000 (low end) and $80,000 (high end).
Becoming a yoga teacher will allow you to turn your passion into a profession, while helping others discover their strength and change their lives. You have a career that encourages stress-relief rather than inducing stress on you like so many jobs tend to do.
At the end of the day, your salary may not be six figures but you will leave work feeling like a million bucks.
