Getting Started
Expect to charge a minimum of $20 per hour of teaching. This usually does not cover planning time. Think of this time as a continuation of your training so that any money you make is a bonus. You will probably want to have another job besides just teaching yoga as it is too energy intensive to make a living at this rate.
