Even if you are only teaching yoga to finance your travels and not as a full-on career, it is still essential to stand out. How else are you going to find students? It is a competitive world out there and if you are to get a good response, you need to take action.

Finding a yoga niche is a powerful strategy. You attract the right students and own a special corner of the yoga industry. For example, as a yoga teacher, you may want to specialize in yoga for runners or yoga for surfers. It only means that your yoga instruction compliments their practice of running or surfing. Through daily yoga practice, these individuals also acquire strength and skills that help them become better runners or surfers.
