Corporate Yoga Is One of the Highest Paying Fields For Teachers

Corporate yoga is a newer and more lucrative field for yoga teachers who want to expand their financial earnings. Many companies are concerned about the physical or mental health of their employees, and rather than sending the employees to a yoga class before or after a shift, management is offering classes on-site. The best news about working as a corporate yoga instructor is that the hourly pay level is much higher than working in a traditional yoga studio. 

You Can Reduce Your Overhead Costs From Having a Yoga Business

In addition to earning more per hour by working for a corporation, you also won’t need to worry about the cost of overhead from paying for a yoga studio’s rent. The companies that you work for as a corporate yoga instructor will provide the spaces for teaching a class along with paying for the other expenses such as electricity for lighting and climate control. If you have good negotiating skills, then it is possible to receive a benefit package from a corporate employer that will include health insurance, retirement benefits and vacation pay. 



Corporations Must Supply a Space for Your Yoga Classes

Before deciding to become a corporate yoga teacher, you should create a business plan that includes particular guidelines. When working at an on-site location, an important aspect to consider is having a dedicated space for your yoga classes. Your students will need to have enough space to place their mats, and you will want a storage area for props such as slant boards, pillows and straps. The students will require a private place to change their clothing from business attire to loose-fitting exercise clothing. 

You Will Work With a Wide Range of Students 

When you begin working for a particular company, the management may want to have only one class for its employees, and this can lead to have students with various levels of abilities. Teaching a corporate yoga class with novice to very experienced students is challenging, and you must get to know each of your student’s special needs or medical challenges so that they don’t incur an injury. If you can convince a corporation’s management to have several class sessions at a variety of times for its employees, then you can divide the students into different ability levels.  

You Can Work With Multiple Corporations 

Most corporations won’t hire a full-time yoga teacher because it isn’t affordable, but you can work for multiple companies. Word-of-mouth advertising is important in corporate yoga because managers of different companies often talk to each other about their wellness programs. If you have a great reputation with your students and a company’s management, then you are more likely to gain new corporate clients. To reach additional corporations, you should have a fantastic website that describes your services, and also, make it easy for potential clients to contact you by having a business telephone number and email address. 

Create a Website or Web Page for Your Site to Reach Corporate Clients

The management teams at a corporation will want to know why hiring a yoga teacher for their employees can provide benefits. Your own website and other marketing tools should explain that yoga can help an individual to have less mental stress and additional physical energy. When a corporation offers on-site yoga classes for its employees, the students will feel better, and they develop a camaraderie that leads to improved teamwork. By offering corporate yoga classes, you can make an excellent living, enjoy low overhead expenses and have multiple employers.
