I’m Shayna Hiller and my mission is to help overwhelmed (and underpaid!) yoga teachers become confident, prosperous leaders who are deeply aligned with their greater purpose of healing and serving this world.
I created this channel to equip you with the tools and tips you need to build and sustain a thriving yoga business-stuff that I wish I knew when I started out nearly fifteen years ago.
You’ll also find lots of helpful information in my ebook, 8 Steps to Building a Thriving Yoga Business. Download it for free at www.buildyouryogabiz.com
My volumn is acting up guys can you tell me what was said. Anyhow I think I only need 200 for my purpose. Yes being a big eye I also register for children and prenatal. Hello senior women don't need that but I mean who know what might happen in the future.
If I was in a class and found out the instructor was checking their phone during class, they would never see me again and I would put a negative review on Yelp about them. That is so against anything dealing with yoga.
IF YOURE STILL AROUND I AM LIKE YOU. I PURPOSELY LISTEN FOR THE MOUTH BREATHING... IM AN AUTISTIC EMPATH I FEED ON THAT FOR TANTRICALLY. YOU GETTING OUT OF BREATH IS♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so very much for sharing your wisdom and experience. I'm working on my 200 hour RYT and have really been in my head and nervous about teaching my first class.
Great reminder! As a new teacher sometimes I forget or struggle to remember how to Que poses without doing them physically. How do you remember your sequence and teach the poses without doing them?
LOL I hear you... well, you can use that energy to inspire you to create more valuable posts that describe what yoga means to you, below the surface. I think it's important to highlight this, because many people avoid yoga because they think they have to look like these photos on social media which is obviously not the case.
Thank you so much for sharing your tips. Your videos are so helpful. I have a question about pricing online zoom classes, which might be irrelevant to this video. But, what do you think about pricing zoom lives classes a lot lower than in-studios ones? Seems like a lot of yoga studios do that. Also, when pricing classes, would you compare your prices with other studios nearby or trust your own intuition? Any tips would be greatly appreciated! 🙏🏻😊🙏🏻
Hey love, thank you so much for your kind words. Great question regarding pricing virtual zoom classes versus in-person classes. Honestly, it's up to you. For example, you may have a desire to build out a virtual studio with perks such as monthly Zoom calls, workshops, meditation, etc. You can charge more when you have a clear idea of exactly what you are offering and are able to communicate the value of that to your students. Perhaps the online format is even *MORE* valuable than in-person since people don't have to leave home? So it really depends on yor perspective and how well you articulate your angle to your prospective students. You can also do a poll on social media with a few different price brackets to see what people are willing to pay for an online class. And yes, I always recommend scanning your area and local studios to see the going rate, and still, you get to choose your 'number' based on what feels right to you for your energy and time. It's kind of like a blend between knowing what's out there and trusting your intuition. And just know, nothing is set in stone and you can always change and experiment with your rates. Choose a number that feels exciting to you, and trust that the students who know your value will show up! I hope this serves you :)
@@buildyouryogabiz awwww~~ You are so kind. Your reply is touching my heart! I’ve been thinking about pricing my zoom classes for a long time. I feel like I’ve just found my decision thanks to your tips. ‘People who value my worth will show up’, which really warms my heart and I know my direction now. Thank you so so much for your genuine tips and help! I’m so thankful and lucky to have found your channel! 🙏🏻🥰💗
Once you write out your list of ideas, go back and write the first small step for each one then do that small step. It may be checking out a book from the library, asking a friend for help, or looking up something online. It may be just telling a few friends that you are thinking of doing this great idea someday. They may have encouragement or insight for helping you manifest your idea 🙂❤️🧘♀️
Good question Stacy. Honestly, this depends on the person and level of confidence. I started hosting retreats a few years after teaching so I could build up my student base, so that is one advantage of waiting a little while so you have existing students to market/promote the retreat to. Hosting a retreat is obviously very different than teaching yoga classes and requires a lot of space holding skills. That being said, you may never feel 100% ready and doing your first retreat will be an incredible learning experience, regardless. Trust your intuition, and if you do feel the call to host retreats, I would definitely recommend starting to plant those seeds!
Just about to finish YTT! I love your videos! I think this described my past patterns and relationship with food very well. Thank you so much for sharing!💗
Hey love, thank you so much for your comment. I am glad this video resonated! Congratulations on almost completing your YTT! So excited for you and all the magic to come.
