Why yoga teachers need each other

7/23/2022

Every day life as a yoga teacher can feel lonely. You might even feel like other yoga teachers in your community are competition, fighting for the same students.

With that mindset – I'm lonely and I have competition – it might become a struggle to build a personal and strong yoga brand. Instead, rise up and change 180 degrees. You are not alone. You don't have to feel lonely. Yoga teachers around you are colleagues, working towards the same thing; more people doing yoga.

We need each other for many reasons:
  • Growth within the profession. Other yoga teachers have skills that can inspire you to up your game. Learn from them. 
  • Moral support. As in any creative job, you'll go through your ups and downs. It's highly valuable to have someone around who will understand this and encourage you through your dips.
  • Collaborations. Working with others will give tenfold back. It also means you don't have to do EVERYTHING by yourself. Play your strengths. 
  • Referrals. What? Yes. Shift from feeling like you're not enough, into serving those who most benefit from your classes. Refer other students to local teachers who might suit their needs even better. Niche yourself with a clear target group.
  • Exchange of services. As in, why not help each other with non-teaching skills, such as pricing, marketing, social media, photography etcetera? It's too much for one person to be good at!  
  • Attending classes. Keep going to classes. In each class, you will find a little something that expands your horizon. An expression, a transition, a pose variation or a theme. Find someone to exchange class attendance with.

At True North Vinyasa, we always try to encourage continued growth and community after our 200hr yoga teacher training. Finally this year, we can offer our very first Yoga Teacher's Boost Retreat. This will be an opportunity to practice, learn and build relations. Hope you can join us!
