The average yoga teacher in Australia earns between $30–$50 per class once tax, travel time, and preparation are factored in. More than 70% of teachers earn under $25k per year, often working irregular hours across several studios just to meet basic income needs. As studios tighten budgets and in some places class rates are unstable or stagnate, the path to a sustainable teaching career feels increasingly narrow.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
This workshop (offered in person or online) gives you practical tools and a clear pathway to build a teaching life that is financially stable and spiritually fulfilling.
Whether you are newly trained or well established, you will finish with the clarity and confidence to re-orient your professional path to profit and sustainability.
Many teachers feel frustrated or disheartened by shrinking class rates, declining attendance, or reduced opportunities. It is important to understand that these challenges are systemic. The landscape of yoga in Australia has shifted: rising commercial rents, increased competition (especially from large chain gyms etc.), the growth of online platforms, and post-pandemic economic pressures have dramatically changed how studios operate.
These issues are not the fault of individual studio owners, who are themselves navigating tight margins and doing their best to stay afloat.
Understanding these systemic pressures allows you, as a teacher, to make informed decisions, diversify your income, and build a business model that doesn’t depend solely on studio class pay and doesn’t ‘blame’ external factors that we can’t control but rather shows how to leverage them.

Although most of our work happens online these days (inside courses, digital memberships, and Zoom rooms) we cherish the rare times we can gather in person. There is something uniquely grounding about being in the same room, learning with and feeling the energy of a live community of teachers.
At the same time, we know many teachers cannot travel or take a full day off. The online version allows you to participate fully from anywhere, without losing any of the depth or practical learning.
Choose the format that best supports your schedule, your energy, and your way of learning.
