This program is designed for teachers who are ready to work on the business aspects of their careers. What’s beyond teaching full time and paying bills? What inspires us to grow as a teacher and how can we use business as a sacred art of fulfilling one’s vision?
Demistifying ideas such as “if you’re spiritual you can’t be a businessperson” or “really good yoga teachers don’t need marketing”, business of yoga expert Clara Hori will encourage teachers to embrace the business side of their teaching and offer superlative tools and strategies to enable their growth.
Topics include:
• Using purpose and vision to guide your business. Creating meaningful business and personal goals.
• Finding the intersection between what you love, what you do well and what the world needs.
• Creating your own definition for success (better schedule, teaching more of what you really like, taking time off, continuous learning, having more money as means to do other things, etc.)
• Understanding Marketing as what enables you to be of service and upgrading your tools:
using an email blast tool for newsletters, improving your website, networking (including social networking sites), “guerilla marketing”, word of mouth, referral system.
• Preventing burnout.
Teaching methodologies will include lecture/theory (50%), group discussion (20%), hands-on work (30%).
