Earn Money with an Online Yoga Certification: Yes, You Can!
Earn money with an online yoga certification: yes, you can!
I spoke with a woman named Anissa today. Anissa wants to enroll in our 200 Hour Online Yoga Teacher Training but she had a lot of questions about whether or not she will be able to support herself as a Certified Yoga Instructor with an Online Yoga Certification. She asked me how she will be able to earn money with an online yoga certification. Anissa is a massage therapist who has been practicing yoga for years. She would like to offer yoga classes in connection with her massage therapy practice. Working full-time with a family, she does not have the availability to attend a local 200 hour yoga teacher training in person. She is looking for an online program but has concerns about earning a living as a Certified Yoga Instructor with an Online Yoga Certification.
...you can do the same thing with an Online 200 Hour Yoga Certification that you can do with a 200 Hour Yoga Certification earned at a training you attend in person
I reassured Anissa that you can do the same thing with an Online 200 Hour Yoga Certification that you can do with a 200 Hour Yoga Certification earned at a training you attend in person. You can absolutely earn money with an online yoga certification. Both our in person trainings and our online trainings issue the same 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Certificate of Completion. Ours looks like this:
This 200 Hour Certificate will make you eligible to teach yoga anywhere. All you need to teach yoga is a 200 Hour Certification. Registration with directories is optional, but the 200 hour certification is mandatory.
