Teaching Hatha Yoga: Assisting, Demonstrating, and Verbally CueingThere are many methods for teaching Yoga, but students either learn by seeing, feeling, hearing, or a combination of senses.

Insider Secrets to the Business of Teaching Yoga (Part 3)When human contact is involved in the selling process, people virtually buy the salesperson or the "Yoga instructor." You as a Yoga teacher, sell something everyday; it's a ticket to better quality living. If a Yoga student stays long enough, he or she learns that Yoga works and you told them the truth. Insider Secrets to the Business of Teaching Yoga (Part 4)As a Yoga teacher, you have to be positive when teaching every Yoga class. Your students will feel negative energy from you, and it is hard for any Yoga teacher to help others if he or she is "feeling down in the dumps." Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Yoga Teaching Service (Part 2)I don't care if you're teaching Yoga in a cellar, barn, loft, garage, in the woods, at the beach, or just thinking about it.
