Teaching private yoga lessons can be one of the most rewarding parts of your teaching career—both financially and in the depth of connection you create. But finding clients who truly value your teaching can be a challenge.

In this episode, I share exactly how I’ve built a roster of private clients who commit to regular sessions, respect my expertise, and pay my full rate without constant negotiation. You’ll learn how to identify your ideal clients, where to find them, how to communicate your value, and how to turn first-time students into long-term teaching relationships.

Whether you’re just exploring private teaching or ready to upgrade your current client list, these strategies will help you create a sustainable, fulfilling private teaching practice that honors your expertise and supports your business.
