You started a yoga practice to reduce stress, reconnect with yourself, or maybe even get back that pre-baby body. Somewhere between your first down-dog to mastering a handstand, a transformation took place. You became addicted to the yoga class after-glow. Suddenly, your new passion for yoga is the main topic of conversation.

This is how many yoga teachers seem to discover their career path. A passion for practicing yoga turns into a passion for sharing yoga. Life as a yoga teacher seems idyllic – flexible hours, comfortable clothing, relaxing atmosphere. Not to mention that most yoga teachers seem to have found the fountain of youth.

So what does a career teaching yoga look like? How do you get started? Can you afford to live off of teaching yoga?
