Being a yoga teacher and being a business owner simply require different skillsets. “How to put together a team, have targets, projections, growth goals—those are all things you learn when you get an MBA, not in yoga teacher training,”. If you are a studio owner in a big city and want to grow your business, you need a manager, accountants, someone with marketing experience, and so on, so you can focus on what you know and do best.
If you are a yoga teacher or studio owner, then you understand what I mean when I say that we all have to “play the numbers game.” It is a fact of modern yoga that if you wish to teach or provide a space for yoga classes, then the number of people in your class matters.
