Private Yoga Rates

April 10, 2016 By Melody

Yoga teachers often ask me (and plenty of "soon to be" yoga teachers who attend my Business of Yoga classes) "what do you charge for an in-home private yoga session?"  It seems like it should be a simple answer.  In my mind, there is a lot more to it than most think.  So I'm going to put it out there... As for my in-home private yoga rate where I travel to the client (which means I am managing the commute/traffic/rolling out the door for 6am client on a cold winter morning/etc.), I generally … [Read more...]

Business of Yoga (part 5): Rest to Reset

January 29, 2016 By Melody

As a small business owner (aka full-time traveling yoga teacher), I’m often asked “How are you able to take vacation?”  Or sometimes it sounds like “Won’t your office yoga /corporate yoga clients find another instructor?” and “Aren’t you worried your private yoga clients will be upset?”  A huge part of the Business of Yoga is taking care of you!  Honestly, I’m always baffled by these types of question  Part of a yoga teacher’s job is to help people feel better.  Better is a simple term for … [Read more...]

Going Solo – Yoga in NYC

February 10, 2015 By Melody

Train-bound to NYC solo to practice yoga with my teacher Sri Dharma Mittra.  Beyond grateful whenever I can head up for a day to be in his presence with one of my yoga sisters.  Today though it's just me heading up. My dear friend's daughter was sick all night so she had to cancel in the middle of the night.  Funny thing is I had a "feeling" last night before heading to bed that for some random reason my friend wouldn't be able to go today.  Admittedly it crossed my mind last night to cancel … [Read more...]

The Business of Yoga (part 4)

April 14, 2014 By Melody

The Business of Yoga (part 4) is all about the importance of networking.  As I explained to the Flow Yoga Center yoga teacher trainees yesterday in Washington, DC, word-of-mouth continues to be an essential key to locking in private and corporate yoga clients since starting abellaYoga nearly eight years ago. Face-to-face connections in today’s social media/texting world seem to often get pushed to the side. It’s far easier to hide behind a computer screen and promote yourself vs. physically … [Read more...]

Taking a Break

March 27, 2014 By Melody

As a small business owner (i.e. full-time traveling yoga teacher), I'm often asked "How are you able to take vacation?"  Or sometimes it sounds like "Won't your office yoga /corporate clients find another instructor?" and "Aren't you worried your private yoga clients will be upset?" Honestly, I'm always baffled by this type of question  Part of a yoga teacher's job is to help people feel better.  Better is a simple term for a world of sensations such as healthy, grounded, energized, … [Read more...]

The Business of Yoga (part 3)

April 12, 2013 By Melody

Part of the fun of being a small business owner is every single day is different.  And as much as I am in control of my own schedule, sometimes I'm just not.  Running a business forces you to learn how to literally "go with the flow."  For instance, this morning I had a private yoga client cancel which opened up time for me to blog.  After this, I'll head into Washington, DC (in the pouring rain) and teach a corporate yoga class.  I love what I do.  I also love that on Fridays my day is done by … [Read more...]
