How much can you earn teaching yoga holidays?  This is one of the common questions for a yoga teacher looking to increase their income and business revenue.

Being a yoga teacher is not always easy.   That is why we often need to find new means to increase the revenue of the business to keep it going.

One of the ways a yoga teacher can do this is to offer yoga holidays or retreats.  This is where you take a group of your yoga students on a holiday location and offer yoga classes usually twice a day while away.

Yoga holidays, depending on your activity, can last from days to a week or two weeks.  It creates a great opportunity for your yoga students to take time out from their schedules, give them a little me time, go deeper into their practices and at the same time, perhaps bond amongst themselves.

Depending on how you structure your yoga holidays you might teach anything from 1 hour to 6 hours a day.  You might offer straight asana classes or also include pranayama, meditation and chanting sessions.  Depending on your location you might want to devote this as free time where your students can relax or take up leisure activites or sight see.

How much you earn teaching yoga holidays depends on several factors.

·         Location – Depending on the pricing of the location and country you stay in this will have an effect on what you can retain as your income.

·         Number of students – Depending on the discount offered by the location, it would be best to teach more than 10 students as compared to a smaller group where you will receive a smaller income.  Or if you take a smaller group, charge a higher fee as your students will receive more personal attention and adjustments than if in a bigger group.

·         Number of hours – The hours you allot to teaching yoga classes, meditation, pranayama etc.

·         What your experience is – Obviously if you have more experience you can charge more for the years of your experience that your students will benefit from.

How much can you earn teaching yoga holidays?  Prices for yoga holidays range widely according to the above elements, so it will depend on how all of the above factors are combined and taken into consideration.

If you are a yoga teacher and have tried using yoga holidays as a means of increasing your income, we’d like to hear your experience.
