Studio work

You can create a good impression on studio owners by putting yourself forward as a staff assistant. You may only receive a small wage or nothing, but you will gain experience and make yourself known. At the same time, you’ll be able to see how other yoga teachers operate and can offer to be a sub.
Other teaching positions
