The yoga world’s dirty little secret
Chasing money to fill self worth holes (the Gita saw you coming)
Groceries covered, rent covered, that’s real contentment
Nobody capped your income but you
$20 an hour and a calculator walk into a bar
Running all over town, burning out anyway
That $32 drop-in rate is a mirage
Three to four dollars a head (sit with that)
Rent, insurance, front desk, marketing, math
$1,000 a week at $20 a class (good luck)
Memberships: cheap rates, needs a small army
Your brain would rather not look at this
Justifying your rate increase like a hostage negotiation
Sue across town (any of you Sues, not you)
Is she even going to sign up? No? Moving on.
Fear of being judged, wearing a spreadsheet costume
The hairstylist who just raises her rates. Period.
Wishy-washy pricing makes people question your marketing
Klesha cycles love a money story
The group’s reaction: relief, not judgment
Your money is none of their business (and vice versa)
Repelling the wrong people is the strategy
The class you’re afraid to quit, mathematically speaking
One spot sold covers four months of that gig
Pen to paper. Samskaras underneath. Dig.
A lifelong lifelong lifelong (lifelong) practice
Never been a better time to teach yoga
The whole internet is your studio now
“I don’t like teaching online” (converted every single one)
Income that runs while you’re on vacation
Charging enough IS the service
Dharma isn’t a job but it deserves funding
Rattled? Good. Me too.
Why do you believe spiritual and broke go together?
Journal prompts that might sting
