In this post, you’ll learn over 501 ways to make money as a yoga teacher.
My Strange Yoga Services Detecting Hobby
I have a confession.
A strange hobby of mind is detecting and collecting “yoga services” that my fellow yoga teachers provide.
I know. I’m weird. But I can’t help myself.
Every time I stumble across a yoga teacher’s website and discover a new “yoga service”, I feel the same joy a metal detectorist must feel when finding a glistening gold coin.
To my mind, there’s no point in reinventing the “yoga services” wheel when thousands of amazing yoga teachers around the world have already tested and proven their yoga services in the real world. They’ve essentially handed the “gold coins” to us on a silver platter.
The services you provide for your yoga teacher business are absolutely crucial for your financial sustainability. Get your services wrong, and you probably won’t be teaching for more than three years after you gain your teaching certificate (most yoga teachers quit teaching after three years!).
You can kinda view this blog post as a yoga teacher business plan for coming up with profitable yoga services. Get inspired by the services of your fellow yoga teachers, and make add the services you like to your BookOm services now.
Don’t wait!
If you don’t add a new service to BookOm you aren’t getting bookings, and if you aren’t getting bookings, you aren’t making money, and If you aren’t making money, you won’t be teaching for long.
If you ask a business consultant this question:
“What is the most important thing for my business?”
All the good ones will immediately say:
“Cashflow.”
Nothing is more important for your yoga business than consistent cashflow. No cashflow means death for your business.
The good news is that Yoga teachers can have a near limitless amount of services.
As soon as you get a strong gut feeling for a new yoga service, act on that feeling by immediately adding it to your services within BookOm, so you can get can bookings and take payments immediately.

122 Yoga Retreats You Could Host
During Covid-19 lockdown, hosting Yoga retreats isn’t an option, but people will be falling over themselves to book into Yoga retreats once lockdown ends, and we return to a bit of normalcy. That’s why I’ve added this list of 100+ yoga retreat ideas for you. You can add a retreat to your BookOm services with a date far into the future (e.g. one year). You can start booking people into your retreat a year in advance and only ask for a small deposit (e.g. £50).
My hope is that this list gives you inspiration and courage knowing that these niche yoga retreats have proven to be successful. Each retreat in this list is hosted by a yoga teacher!
I think you’ll be amazed at how many niches there are for you to tap into.
The best part is that most of the time you can simply piggyback onto another business.
Here’s a quick “piggyback” example…
If you like football, you may choose the “Bend it like Beckham Yoga Retreat” (for football players). All you’d need to do is contact local football clubs to let them know about your Bend it like Beckham Yoga Retreat. Within no time you’ll come across a football club that thinks your retreat sounds perfect for their players. The football club will then supply the venue for free (their football club) and the paying students (their football players).
Allow your imagination to soar when picking yoga retreats to add to your BookOm services.
If you’re an action taker, follow the steps below…
Step 1
Look through the 100+ themes.
Step 2
Pick one or more, or come up with my own idea for a yoga retreat.
Step 3
Write the name of the yoga retreats you choose in large BOLD LETTERS in your Notepad.
Step 4
Add the yoga retreats as services within BookOm, so that you can take early-bird bookings.

Let out a little whoop of joy, because if you’ve spent time coming up with new services for your yoga teacher business, and added them to your BookOm, it means you are an action-taker and fully understand the importance of adding new services to your portfolio of services.
By adding new services to your BookOm, you’re ready to put the booking form on your website (or share the booking form link in emails, Facebook, etc).
You can think of BookOm as a full-time employee of yours who has taken over most of your admin work. The moment you add the booking form to your website, BookOm goes to work 24/7 booking people onto your services.
But It doesn’t stop there!
BookOm is obsessed with growing your business.
When someone books onto a service (e.g. your Tuesday morning online Hatha yoga class), BookOm automatically sends them the details of the class, sends a reminder, and deposits the money directly into your Stripe account. You’ll wonder how you ever lived without BookOm by your side.
