The Business Of Teaching Yoga

Cora Geroux taught yoga full-time for over a decade and ran her own studio before pivoting to coaching other teachers, and that experience shows up in every episode. She's been in the room when the rent went up, when a co-teacher quit mid-quarter, when a student complained about the heat. So when she talks about pricing or niching or building a sustainable practice, it doesn't sound like theory borrowed from a generic small business book. The show is roughly weekly and currently sits at around 130 episodes. Cora interviews other yoga professionals who've built real careers, and she pushes them on the parts most podcasts skip, like how they actually got their first paying clients, what they cut when something wasn't working, and how they handled burnout without quitting. Her own solo episodes lean instructional and tend to give you something to act on by the end. The vibe is calm and conversational, not hype-y. One nice thing is that she takes the online business side seriously without dismissing in-person teaching as outdated. Worth a listen if you've been teaching a while and want to make it sustainable for the long haul rather than treating it as a side gig forever.
