Yoga with Kassandra I just opened a yoga studio. I’m so new that I don’t have employees or ICs yet so it’s just me. I have to teach a variety of classes because I don’t know what people will want. What is your suggestion in this? I’m not at a place to hire anyone right now.
Kassandra!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like you just spoke to my soul and the part ive been struggling with the MOST! I took my 200 Hr yoga teacher training and everything you mentioned in number 1 is TRUE and REAL!!!!!!! I have been feeling like i NEED to teach everything else but my main love which is also YIN! There's magic in Yin and words are healing and therapeutic! Thank you for making this video! Ive been following you for about 4 years now and i enjoy all the videos but this one right HERE! Gracias & with a pure heart, Yaya!
So true -- my channel didn't grow until I "outed myself" as a pelvic health specialist! I thought people would think it was weird, but honestly, it was the best thing I ever did. Great video, Kassandra!
I love your youtube yoga classes 🙏 I also really enjoy it when you talk about being a yoga teacher, behind the scenes, your motivation etc. I would love to see more of the videos in which you just talk about a specific topic! 💟 So happy that I found your channel. Really supports my personal yoga journey 🎀
Thanks so much Kassandra!! 💕❤️💕❤️ I sat on the fence about teaching on TH-cam for a good 5 years. Until I found your channel. Then I could think, why not me? You honestly made me fall in love with Yin yoga, and it honestly changed my life. I wanted to take a YTT from you but it wasn’t available yet. So I started my channel with Hatha and vinyasa, and the competitive aspect is strong. However when you started offering Yin teacher training Kassandra, I was one of the first grads lol. It felt right in my heart to commit my channel to only Yin. What drives me is trying my best to help others through Yin yoga. It is a miracle style and everyone should practice it lol 😊 I have had my channel for a year and haven’t turned a profit yet. I understand that at the place in the game youtube is right now and it’s algorithms, it might be a long road. However, I am a very hard worker and yin yoga really inspires me. Doing the channel so far has made me grow so very much that’s it’s not about the money. It takes a long time, but I am so very thankful to you Kassandra and to the community that has started growing inside my channel. Best endeavour of my life!!! ❤️💕❤️💕
I agree with you. Yin is very inspiring and I also want to teach yin as a teacher. I am not in Canada but if there is a chance to have a training from Kassandra, I would try my best to attend it.
I just came across this video, and I’m glad I watched it! I started teaching in 2014 and I can so relate to the teacher hustle 10-15-20 classes per week was such a drain but so necessary, like you said, to build and learn and grow. When Covid hit and the studio shut down, I didn’t realize until then how thinly spread and overwhelmed I was - because I suddenly wasn’t teaching at all; so then I started doing some online stuff, and found I really liked it, so I’m trying to grow that more as well. Now I only teach 2 open air classes in person with our limited capacity and masks and all that jazz, and I feel like if I taught more it would be too much. It was nice to give myself permission to be picky, now that I’m more experienced. I really liked what you said about the niche - I relate completely with the feeling of having to be all things to all people lol and now as an acupuncturist, I find I have the ability to integrate that into my yoga teaching to make it a more unique experience. So much good advice in here and I very much appreciate your yin classes. They’ve been very helpful this past year! 🙏🙏🙏
Kassandra, I have to tell you I was such a huge fan of Adriene until I discovered your morning Intention videos, your Yin Yoga videos (as I matured as a Yogi in my own personal practice) and now you're giving this business advice. I look up to you. You are wise and you are helpful and kind. PLUS you foster little baby animals especially cats. I LOVE that. Thank you for being the human you are and I hope this all provides you success but also aids more and more people in their daily lives. I have suggested you to multiple people who are just getting into Yoga in recent times.
Thank you Kassandra! This video really got me thinking about my business plan. Having yoga as my full time job is the end goal for me, I'm still working part-time to pay the bills.. I would love to hear more from you on this topic 🙏😊
Hi Kassandra! I really needed to hear this! I thought I needed to be a "jack or all trades" as well. I have been focusing on what is most popular. I have spent the last couple of weeks reflecting upon what I truly love and what resonates with me. I finally have my answer. It may not be the most popular style of yoga, but I do know that it will serve others and it will fill my cup as well. Listening to you discuss this topic eases my mind. Thank you for all that you do! I appreciate these discussions and also your yoga classes! Take care, and have an amazing day 🙏😊💙
Hi Kassandra, I think You are the best representation of Yin Yoga, soft, gentle, calm, peaceful, relaxing and inner power. That’s why you are my favorite yoga teacher in TH-cam or online. (wish one day could join your class in real world) . You always make me free peaceful, relaxing, relief, refresh after your class. Keep going! Peace & love ❤️🙏🌻
This is great! Thank you. I knew in my heart that I needed to specialize in restorative, but I needed this validation. I also really appreciate what you said about integrity.
Thank you for your honesty. This is seriously the story of my life. Teaching 18 classes a week, then cutting back to 15 and now 13 but still burned out. I am smart enough to not take on a class I don't make less than 65 dollars or more. What I am struggling with is creating content and finding a platform other than my website for my residual income. For example doing a split progression series or beginners package with a place for customers to sign in to an account and have their classes like what's on your "exclusives" on your website.
I agree with the teacher trainings. I’m a cosmetology /esthetic instructor and you have to not only have work experience to share with the students what to do when things go wrong. Because things can go wrong. You also have to have a certain amount of maturity and develop way to communicate with your students to gain trust. Now I’m a new yoga 200 hour graduate and I would never consider teaching for at least 3-5 years if full time work. I hope the yoga teaching market doesn’t crash like the course market did! People see one way of doing things, suddenly the market gets torched.
I really appreciate that you shared this information because, as a rookie yoga teacher, it is intimidating trying to navigate this industry. Thank you for your honesty!
Thank you Kassandra, this put together all that I needed to hear. I appreciate the way you talk, your integrity and entusiasm. I have start putting videos on youtube a bit less tan a year ago (well dance videos and yoga just a month ago) and even do it's not giving me any money yet, it feels great to share to more peoples. But yes I need to make money also. After teaching for 10 years and practicing dance and yoga for almost 25 years I'm so ready to share my gifts. I love your channel. You inspire me a lot. Blessings.
Hello Kassandra! I'm loving these tips, I am planning to go online simply because I am a full time student and I can not afford to run around all day. Also the audience I want to target is worldwide and could not attend my classes. These are great tips and as harsh as they sound, it indeed is not easy to live off of just teaching yoga. You have to think of yourself as a business, think about your USP and build up a business model and marketing plan as well. I'm really happy that you shared this video in the community, more of us need to know how to manage our career as a yoga teacher so people can be prepared and get over the hardships with a smart mindset and keep on going instead of giving up. Your channel is wonderful, I wish you all the best and I really hope one day we can meet up, you have a wonderful character. Please also send some good vibes back, as I am working hard in the background to right now build a program and a channel myself. Much love, Veronika from Karuna Yoga
This is literally what I've been asking the Universe for. Thank you so much for the helpful information. I'll definitely be using these to improve my business!
Very clear, useful and well-organised inputs, thank you Kassandra! As a teacher of French as a Foreign language, I see a lot of similarities between the 2 professions, and your advice resonate a lot with me. It feels like I had most of your tips on the tip of my tongue (so to speak), but the way you articulated them clearly and validated them through your own example were extremely useful to me. ✨
This advice is applicable for any business owner. I'm not planning on teaching yoga, but I am thinking of starting up an art teaching business. This helped me alot. Thank you
Thank you Kassandra .... again for your amazing share ... I am one of the newbie yoga teachers that still struggle on how to plan financially before I really jump on this yoga teaching as permanent job. I would love you to share more on how to market ourself effectively as a yoga teacher, so we would be able to “sell” whatever class or workshops even retreat that we have. Thank you 🙏🏻❤️
Was a interesting video. I have just started a you tube channel, and so much to learn about online,marketing,videos...etc my god,it is overwhelming,will take time for me to make any money:) I liked your 3 points, Thank you for your all efforts and hard work,sharing.
Thank you for sharing this information with us and it is good to get a good idea about the business of yoga. I can see a few people from my graduating teacher training from last year heading into the burnout eventually as they were going to quit their corporate jobs and teach yoga full time. I've started teaching on a small scale, teaching my work colleagues a couple classes a week and will be starting to do these classes virtually since our office shut down and we're all working from home.
Thank you so much for this honest and resourceful video Kassandra 🙏🏻🤍🕉 I love your channel and the work that you do. All the best and namaste from France 🇫🇷😘
Thank you so much for this very informative video, Kassandra. I am teaching yoga for 4 years now and am becoming a Full-time Yoga Instructor as from next month (combined with blogging & Social Media). I am dreaming about starting up my own platform, but am scared because of the high costs. I am passionated about Vinyasa yoga and would like this to be my main focus. Now that I have started up my business, I was stressing over the fact that I’ll have to teach soooo many classes 😰. I also teach POP Pilates 3x a week, and several group- and private classes. Knowing that I need at least 10 legit private classes on top of what I teach now is stressing me out 😕. When you asked “do you see yourself doing this for the next 5-10 or 20years?”, I said NO! I love sharing my passion for yoga and teaching classes, but I don’t see myself teaching ± 15 to 20 classes/ week. So thank you for sharing your vision and tips on teaching online. I will definitely look into starting up my own platform and share my classes with my online community. You are so inspiring and kind 🙏 Thank you!
Love this so much! I'm a recent 200hr YTT graduate and love your retreat idea that you mentioned at the end 😊 So much useful information... especially for some one who just graduated and is a bit overwhelmed by all the possibilities teaching has to offer. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and offering such useful advice!
If I knew what is REALLY meant to be a full time Yoga teacher back then, not sure I would have considered do this full time...... I have been practising since 2003 and did my YTT in 2007 and have been teaching since full time 2008.... I specialize in offering Yoga Nidra but most of my classes are movement based and helping everyone too enjoy their practice at their own level.... I also help EMPATHS giving short live on FB once a week.....But I also enjoy teaching and I am in the process of learning how I can teach in a way that I can generate more income and regain my strength too to continue for the future! Would love to learn how I can create recorded classes and sell them for passive income. Thanks again.
You learned not to do what is merely popular - because of the fact that you yourself are a universe - and when you choose to do something you love, no matter what seems to be going on externally, you change that whole scene. and you create your little niche of friends who participate with you in what you love and convey and teach.
Kassandra this was great! Thank you so much for giving us a realistic view on what it takes to build a sustainable yoga/wellness business. I just relaunched my You Tube channel and I am very excited about my niche and finding my tribe. Keep up the great work👍🏾
Oh I ve just realised you are the Kassandra of the Yin Yoga book I do have and I love 💜 Thanks for your book and thanks for this useful video again. 🌼🙏🏻
Thank you, Kassandra. I'm starting my yoga teacher training program next week, and this video is very helpful in planning my future as a yoga teacher. Your videos are super inspiring.
What a great video! Thank you Kasandra.🙏🏻I learned more in this short video than I have in longer expensive coaching sessions! I so appreciate you. I took notes and I would love to take your Yin Yoga class soon❤️❤️
Thanks Kassandra! Great tips. I’m exiting out of a career for that has lasted almost 30 years, and looking for other options around things I am passionate about. You confirmed a lot of my own hunches :) Looking forward to narrowing my expertise and targeting an audience with my passion and to see where it takes me. Keep up the good work!
Hi Kassandra, thank you so much for this video. I've just started a TH-cam channel on something completely different (creative photography) but I've been doing your online classes for years. This video was really inspiring and I loved hearing your perspective on building a passive income online and your grounded and solid advice :) -Kika
This was a VERY useful and thought-provoking video. I'm going to spend the next couple days to figure out my niche and then how I can cultivate that specialty. Thank you!!
Excellent advice, just what I needed to hear! Thank you so much. I realize I am spreading my self too thin and need to focus on my specialty. Wasn't really sure what it is until You mentioned it and now I think i know!
Thank you for this Kassandra 🙏 I would say my niche is Chakras through Hatha and Hatha Flow and I would love to share this more consistently online. Thank you for the tips, I’ve made notes to work on 💫
Thanks so much for sharing! There is great information in here that can be applied to anyone starting any type of business! Definitely took some notes for my meal prep/delivery service I’m working on! Much appreciated!
Before im not believe about it but I was depressed few more month already but I don't know why yesterday I thought about it and I did one video and make me feel so so good and make me so relaxing that why I'm thinking about teaching people around my village too a lot old and alot depressed and I think I will do for free .
I would be interested in a mastermind group, but would need to do in online - wouldn't be able to travel! Loved this video and your channel!! Thank you
Thank you for all of your video's. This one is really good for me. The things you talk about are not new to me. I've seen many webinars where ppl talk about these things a lot longer and more complicated and in the end they come with their now or never offer for a special price. Which is fine and a business model too but it doesn't resonate with me. The way you talk, choose your words and cut the crap is refreshing! About your offer at the end 😉 I would defenetly want to join a business retreat with you if it was in the Benelux! Thanks again 🙏
Thank you so much for this video. I would definitely be interested in hearing more from you on the business of yoga, and the in person retreat idea you mentioned at the end sounds wonderful. I hope you plan something like that in the future - I would be interested!
And I love your yin yoga videos. Most of the others out there are either yin fusion- not holding the postures as long- or they do hold them long but the instructors talk almost through out the whole 3 to 5 minutes. I find that very distracting and annoying. Love your videos!
I believe the Universe meant me to watch this video. I’ve been thinking of a way for passive income. Grateful for you and your video. Please update once you have more info on the mastermind course...did you mention it would be online? Thank you and WaheGuru❤️
This was incredibly helpful! I made the transition to online at the beginning of the year - I do have one question though, bringing my teachings online, do I still need to have insurance? When working with studios they required that I have insurance as a private contractor. So I'm curious if this is still necessary since I'm not technically touching or physically around anyone? I know that it's good to have! But I just want your opinion :)
I’m confused about you saying start with niche courses first ? Surely you need the foundation YTT before you start on other specialities …. Thanks in advance
The principles reviewed are very similar to the professional sales world I live in. Specialty separates you for all the generalists. It makes you an expert when they are hard to find. A business model defines what you will and will not engage in. Passive income or perpetual income is very important. You and your time are limited. Maximize your time. I am not currently an aspiring full-time Yoga Teacher. This may seem odd but once I retire, Yoga may very well become my career. I know that Yoga is a physical endeavor. I also know that seniors are becoming more and more aware that physical activity, especially resistance and low impact can help them live longer more full lives. They are not going to relate well to someone in their 30's, no disrespect intended. My specialty could become working with a specific age group. Kassandra, do not underestimate your ability to attract yogi's to a teacher training course. You have a personality that is very positive and upbeat. You attract people simply by being you. Your personality is also why your TH-cam channel has the number of subscribers it does.

Congrats!!
Me too! Just in February and I'm so desperate to leave corporate for a life of sharing my passion for yoga with others.
When you said "At the end of the day you need to be able to care for yourself and care for your family" So true! 💖

You are so inspiring and kind 🙏 Thank you!
I'm re-specializing after deciding my degree wasn't what I wanted to be doing anymore, this was really helpful. :)
I have so much respect for you as a yoga teacher. Love that you invite other teachers into the online world #abundance
Thank you for this video, Kassandra! It was super useful and inspirational. Your passion really shines through and it's a joy listening to you 💖
Thank you Federica!

Congrats on re-launching!! 😍I just subscribed 😘
I just want to say thank you for all the notes here.
Oh I ve just realised you are the Kassandra of the Yin Yoga book I do have and I love 💜
Thanks for your book and thanks for this useful video again. 🌼🙏🏻
Thank you for this Kassandra. The struggle is real.....but I'm finding slow and steady is what helps me maintain balance . :-)
Thank you, Kassandra. I'm starting my yoga teacher training program next week, and this video is very helpful in planning my future as a yoga teacher. Your videos are super inspiring.
I love you kassandra you're very kind. Thank you for this advices.
What a great video! Thank you Kasandra.🙏🏻I learned more in this short video than I have in longer expensive coaching sessions! I so appreciate you. I took notes and I would love to take your Yin Yoga class soon❤️❤️
Thanks Kassandra! Great tips. I’m exiting out of a career for that has lasted almost 30 years, and looking for other options around things I am passionate about. You confirmed a lot of my own hunches :) Looking forward to narrowing my expertise and targeting an audience with my passion and to see where it takes me. Keep up the good work!
Hi Kassandra, thank you so much for this video. I've just started a TH-cam channel on something completely different (creative photography) but I've been doing your online classes for years. This video was really inspiring and I loved hearing your perspective on building a passive income online and your grounded and solid advice :) -Kika
Thank you so much for your solid and honest advice! As a new yoga TH-cam channel I really appreciate your insight. 💙🙏💙
this is a GODSEND!
This was a VERY useful and thought-provoking video. I'm going to spend the next couple days to figure out my niche and then how I can cultivate that specialty. Thank you!!
Thanks for making this video! There's lots of valuable information here to consider.
Thank you Kassandra! 😊 it’s really clear and also inspired me! 🧡🙏🏾😄
Thank you!! This is so insightful for any entrepreneurs!
Excellent advice, just what I needed to hear! Thank you so much. I realize I am spreading my self too thin and need to focus on my specialty. Wasn't really sure what it is until You mentioned it and now I think i know!
I love this! It’s perfect information for me to think about for my future! X
Thanks Roisin :)
Thank you for this Kassandra 🙏 I would say my niche is Chakras through Hatha and Hatha Flow and I would love to share this more consistently online. Thank you for the tips, I’ve made notes to work on 💫
Thanks so much for sharing! There is great information in here that can be applied to anyone starting any type of business! Definitely took some notes for my meal prep/delivery service I’m working on! Much appreciated!
Before im not believe about it but I was depressed few more month already but I don't know why yesterday I thought about it and I did one video and make me feel so so good and make me so relaxing that why I'm thinking about teaching people around my village too a lot old and alot depressed and I think I will do for free .
You hit it dead on! Very truthful & informative. TY
I would be interested in a mastermind group, but would need to do in online - wouldn't be able to travel! Loved this video and your channel!! Thank you
This video is amazing and has really inspired me to work hard towards other goals that are not even yoga related. So thankyou :)
Thank you!!
Loved this! Lots of good ideas here. I just started my own yoga youtube channel. I am definitely interested in the passive forms of income approach.
This information is so valuable and can be carried over into other types businesses. Thank you for sharing! 🙏
Thanks for this Kassandra :) I know this is an old video but a mastermind course sounds amazing!
This was very helpful. Especially the last point. Thank you for making this video and sharing your wisdom.
Thank you so much for this! 🙏🏻
Thank you for very informative video. 🙂I am at the beginning of this journey, the last year qualified. But I do believe it will go well. ❤
Thank you for all of your video's. This one is really good for me. The things you talk about are not new to me. I've seen many webinars where ppl talk about these things a lot longer and more complicated and in the end they come with their now or never offer for a special price. Which is fine and a business model too but it doesn't resonate with me. The way you talk, choose your words and cut the crap is refreshing! About your offer at the end 😉 I would defenetly want to join a business retreat with you if it was in the Benelux! Thanks again 🙏
Thanks so much for this video ! So helpful ❤
Thank you Kassandra!
Found this SO helpful. Can you share more like this?
This video is so helpful and professional! Thank you for the value you are adding to the world!
I love your talking videos, I relate to you so much. You are really inspiring 🥰🙏🏼
Thank You! That was very helpful.
Thank you so much for this video. I would definitely be interested in hearing more from you on the business of yoga, and the in person retreat idea you mentioned at the end sounds wonderful. I hope you plan something like that in the future - I would be interested!
Thanks for this. I've been a bit stuck business-wise for a while!
Thank you so much for sharing, Kassandra!
Yes live retreat mastermind would be fab please! Great advice, thank you for posting this x
Yes, keep em Comin....
Thank you Kassandra! this is a very usefull information for me right now
Thank you so much for this video Kassandra 🙏🏼 more videos like this one please ☺️
YAS for thé yoga teacher mastermind 🤩
Great clip!!! Thanks for sharing. Very inspiring.
Thank you!! Just bought your book, so cool that I can buy it in Germany!! It's time that you come to Germany and give us a retreat :) lots of love
And I love your yin yoga videos. Most of the others out there are either yin fusion- not holding the postures as long- or they do hold them long but the instructors talk almost through out the whole 3 to 5 minutes. I find that very distracting and annoying. Love your videos!
This was a great video. Very helpful to think more strategically as a yoga teacher.
I believe the Universe meant me to watch this video. I’ve been thinking of a way for passive income. Grateful for you and your video. Please update once you have more info on the mastermind course...did you mention it would be online? Thank you and WaheGuru❤️
Very good advice for all careers. Thanks for sharing! ♥️
Love some info on putting together a retreat😊
Thanks Kassandra for the tip, very inspiring
Thank you so much for sharing Kassandra ! This is really inspiring
This was incredibly helpful! I made the transition to online at the beginning of the year - I do have one question though, bringing my teachings online, do I still need to have insurance? When working with studios they required that I have insurance as a private contractor. So I'm curious if this is still necessary since I'm not technically touching or physically around anyone? I know that it's good to have! But I just want your opinion :)
Thank you for all the information!
Thank you so much for sharing these tips ❤ Alot of good information to think about.
I’m confused about you saying start with niche courses first ? Surely you need the foundation
YTT before you start on other specialities …. Thanks in advance
Wonderful share! Thank you for your voice, really cool and useful advice.
Thank you ❤
love this video, please post some more. A mastermind would be amazing.
The principles reviewed are very similar to the professional sales world I live in. Specialty separates you for all the generalists. It makes you an expert when they are hard to find. A business model defines what you will and will not engage in. Passive income or perpetual income is very important. You and your time are limited. Maximize your time.
I am not currently an aspiring full-time Yoga Teacher. This may seem odd but once I retire, Yoga may very well become my career. I know that Yoga is a physical endeavor. I also know that seniors are becoming more and more aware that physical activity, especially resistance and low impact can help them live longer more full lives. They are not going to relate well to someone in their 30's, no disrespect intended. My specialty could become working with a specific age group.
Kassandra, do not underestimate your ability to attract yogi's to a teacher training course. You have a personality that is very positive and upbeat. You attract people simply by being you. Your personality is also why your TH-cam channel has the number of subscribers it does.
This is great advice Kassandra. Would you have any suggestions on a platform to use to start offering a course online?
You could check out teachable.
I would really like to know the ins and outs of planning and setting up a programme. do you have videos on this yet?
Thank you so much for this video! I really appreciate you sharing this
