Discover 5 ways to build a passive income as a Yoga Teacher.


Yay! You completed your yoga teacher training! Now what?

Some students who graduate already have a job lined up in the yoga studio where they received their training or elsewhere.

But, what about when the studio you received your training from does not have any openings or the schedule causes some conflict? Or those who haven't figured out how to get income? Or yoga teachers who need to supplement their income.

I know a lot of us would love to have a 6 figure income lined up and teach and travel wherever we want. However, in reality, most of us have a full time or part-time job that helps pays the mortgage, car, and additional expenses. Which we just can't walk away from as yet.

As for me, I am a stay-at-home mom who teaches yoga part-time when the summer season comes around. While I do activities with my kids, I rely on my supplement income to keep me going.

This inspired me to create a list of my favorite sites that help me during the slow summer months until my kids go back to school and I go back to teaching full time.

Let's Explore How you can Survive as a Yoga Teacher with these Side Hustles.


Here are 5 ways to Make Passive Income as a Yoga Teacher.

2. Blogging

Blogging has become my new found love. I love providing tips and redesigning web pages to help others Elevate their home yoga practice. If you never created a blog before don't be afraid. Once you publish your first post the jitters go away.

Here are some Recommended Sites for getting started. These sites all offer a free plan to get started or a free trial.

* Wix.com I used this to build this website. This was created with the premium package. I also have two other sites using their free plan. Wix is user-friendly and provides great support and tools to get you started for free.
