Synopsis

The must-have book for any yogi or yogini who’s curious about taking the next step and becoming a yoga instructor.

Choosing a profession begins with imagining yourself in a career. Whether you see yoga as a side gig or your life calling, Becoming a Yoga Instructor is the perfect resource to help you figure out how to get there—and what it’ll really be like once you do.

Journalist Elizabeth Greenwood has been practicing yoga for over twenty years. Now, she takes you along as she studies with teachers across the country to figure out how these women and men rose to the top of their profession—and how they stay there. In these pages, you’ll take a private lesson with Abbie Galvin, a rock star instructor whom other yoga teachers fly around the world to learn from. You’ll visit a small business owner as she opens up her very first studio, and meet newbies hustling as they figure out how to stand out from the competition, whether by leading yoga retreats to Costa Rica, helping veterans struggling with PTSD, or teaching classes over YouTube.

Bursting with inside information about the yoga industry, and the spiritual, physical, and psychological benefits that daily practice can bring to your life, Becoming a Yoga Instructor is a perfect virtual internship for anyone contemplating turning their love of yoga into a career.

I needed some "inspiration" as I opened my studio just 3 months before the pandemic and...3 years later I found myself depressed, burnt-out and uninspired.

Goodreads review by Sherin on July 31, 2021

Find real and practical advice for starting your yoga career. This book gave me more information than my 200 hour TTC course that only taught me posture and alignment and philosophy of Yoga. There's a whole lot of things they don't tell you about being a Yoga Instructor. For example, on how being a......more
