Start a Traveling and Corporate Yoga Business

1. 1

   Get the credentials the buyers will ask about

   A 200-hour teacher training is the widely recognized baseline (typically $1,500 to $3,500 if you do not have it yet), plus CPR certification and liability insurance, which corporate clients and venues will require proof of before you teach a single class. Being fully insured and certified is also your pitch against informal competition.

2. 2

   Package offerings a buyer can say yes to

   A named menu with flat rates: a recurring weekly office class billed monthly, a one-time wellness day or event session, a private group session with a travel radius, and a chair yoga option for workplaces without space to spread out. Buyers approve packages with prices; they do not approve 'contact me for rates'.

3. 3

   Sell to the check signers, not the students

   HR managers and office leads at companies big enough to budget for perks, event and retreat planners who need reliable instructors on call, apartment and condo property managers who buy resident programming, and hotel activity coordinators. One warm pitch to a planner can be worth a season of bookings.

4. 4

   Design classes for real-world rooms

   Conference rooms, rooftops, lawns, and living rooms mean all-levels sequencing, a portable kit (mats if the client needs them, a speaker, props that fit in a car), and the ability to teach people in work clothes who have never practiced. The teacher who handles imperfect rooms gracefully is the one who gets rebooked.

5. 5

   Put everything in writing

   A simple agreement covering rate, cancellation terms, space and liability responsibilities, and payment schedule; invoice monthly for recurring contracts. Waivers for participants, every time, and a cancellation policy that protects your calendar, because a mobile business's inventory is time slots plus drive time.

6. 6

   Stack recurring contracts until the calendar is a business

   Two or three weekly office contracts plus a monthly residential class form the stable floor; events and private groups layer on top at premium rates. When demand overflows, raise rates first, then bring on insured subcontractor teachers and take a coordination margin, which is how a solo teaching practice becomes an agency.

Best for: Certified teachers who like varied rooms and are comfortable selling to businesses

Not for: Not for anyone unwilling to sell to businesses, because the calendar-filling work comes from pitching HR, planners, and property managers, not waiting for students. Not for someone who wants only one-off gigs, since recurring contracts are what make it a business. And not for a teacher who cannot teach graciously in imperfect rooms full of beginners in work clothes.
