Business Course for Yoga Teachers

You’ve completed your yoga teacher training. You’re passionate about sharing what you’ve learned. You know the value of this practice – because it’s changed your life.

But now that you’re stepping out into the world, things feel… uncertain. You’ve reached out to studios and heard nothing back. You’re unsure how to find students or promote your classes. You want to make a living from teaching yoga – but you’re not sure how to begin.

Introducing our new ‘Business Course for Yoga Teachers’:

This Business Course for Yoga Teachers is a supportive, practical, no-fluff course designed to help you make a living and build a business from your practice.

This business course is for you if:

• You’re training or have completed your 200hr YTT and want to learn how to get clients or paid work.

• You want to start your own class but don’t know where to begin with waivers, payments or bookings.
• You need help marketing yourself and building a brand you’re proud of.
• You want to make a consistent income as a yoga teacher – not just scrape by.

This course is suitable for anyone starting a small business, especially those in service sectors and those working with clients face to face.

All sessions will be held on Wednesdays 1:30 – 3:30pm, beginning Wednesday 24th September.

Meet Allison

"Yoga is a powerful, transformative practice - but sharing it sustainably means learning how to build a business, too. That doesn’t mean compromising your values."

Allison is a seasoned entrepreneur, PhD researcher, and co-founder of Hot Yoga Edinburgh, one of the city’s most respected yoga studios.

With over 11 years of experience running a successful 6-figure business(not once but twice — before and after the pandemic), Allison brings rare clarity and honesty to what it actually takes to make a living doing what you love.

Before founding Hot Yoga Edinburgh, Allison spent 15 years in senior roles in the drinks industry before taking over a struggling small business and returning it to profit within a year. She now combines her business acumen with her love of yoga, community, and education.

She’s a Professor of Entrepreneurship at the University of Stirling, a speaker, and a passionate advocate for small businesses in Scotland. Her PhD research explores the impact of imposter syndrome on women entrepreneurs, making her uniquely placed to support you not just in your business, but in your mindset too.
