6 Tips for Yoga Teachers: Boosting Class Size

In the last year, I took a seven-month sabbatical from teaching weekly classes. I had just sold my yoga studio and needed a break from a weekly commitment to recover inspiration for teaching again.

As I returned to teaching, I ended up facing an issue that I thought I was done with. I’ve been teaching yoga since 2001, and I’ve had plenty of times when I’ve had small classes, no-shows, or I’ve taught a private session to the one student who showed up to a group class. But now, I tell myself, this shouldn’t happen to me anymore. I lead successful, weeklong international retreats. My workshops fill up. I lead yoga teacher trainings. I have a strong and loyal local following where I live.
