Yoga Teacher to Life Coach: An Honest Guide for 2026

Can you go from yoga teacher to life coach? Yes, if you already find yourself staying after class to talk students through a breakup, a career wobble or a stalled habit, and you are willing to learn a different skill set than cueing a sun salutation. Not yet, if what you want is mainly a higher hourly rate for the same work, or if you have never had a single structured one-to-one conversation with a student about something other than their hamstrings. Most yoga teachers who make the move do it gradually: they keep teaching, add a small coaching offer for people who already trust them, and let the numbers tell them when to shift the balance.

Once you start taking coaching clients, the practice itself has to run somewhere. That is where Coachful comes in: it is the platform where many coaches keep their booking, payments, programs and client app in one place. We make Coachful, so read this with that in mind. This guide is not about software, though. It is about whether the move makes sense for you, what it actually involves and how to try it without betting your rent on it.

What follows are the questions yoga teachers ask next once the idea takes hold, in roughly the order they tend to ask them. Each answer starts with the short version.

Why does yoga teaching pay so little, and will coaching fix that?

Yoga teaching pays modestly because you are mostly paid per class, and a class is a fixed slot with a fixed fee that you cannot scale past the number of hours your body can teach. Coaching does not automatically pay more, but it lets you price an outcome over weeks instead of an hour on the mat, which changes the ceiling.

Start with the official picture. O*NET, the US Department of Labor's occupation database, groups yoga instructors with fitness trainers and aerobics instructors. As listed in November 2026, it shows a 2025 median wage of $22.67 an hour, or $47,160 a year, across about 388,400 people in the occupation, with growth projected as much faster than average for 2025 to 2035 and around 68,000 projected job openings (O*NET OnLine's Fitness Trainers and Aerobics Instructors profile, drawing on Bureau of Labor Statistics data). That median blends full-time personal trainers with part-time yoga teachers, so many yoga teachers will recognise their own number as lower, not higher.

The structure is the real constraint. Here is an illustrative example, not a benchmark: a teacher paid $40 a class who teaches 12 classes a week earns $480 before travel time, preparation and the unpaid half hour of chatting afterwards. To earn more, she needs more classes, a higher per-class fee (which studios rarely offer) or a bigger headcount on a revenue-share deal. Every one of those levers runs into the same wall: there are only so many classes a body can teach well, and studio owners face their own thin margins.

Coaching changes the unit you sell. Instead of a 60-minute class, you sell a defined change over a defined period: eight weeks to rebuild a morning routine after burnout, twelve weeks to make a decision about a career, a month of support after a retreat. The price follows the outcome and the access, not the hour. That does not guarantee higher income. Plenty of coaches earn less than they did teaching for the first year or two. It does mean the ceiling is set by your offer and your reputation rather than by the studio timetable.

For coach income data by country, see our guides on life coach salary in the UK and how to become a life coach, which cover pay sources in more depth than we will here.

What carries over from the mat, and what has to be learned from scratch?

A lot of the presence carries over; very little of the method does. Yoga teachers are good at holding a room, noticing what a body is doing, pacing a session and creating a sense of safety. Coaching asks for those things too, but its core skill is something yoga teaching rarely trains: asking rather than instructing.

Think about what a class actually is. You cue, you demonstrate, you adjust. Even the gentlest teacher is directing: inhale here, step the right foot forward, soften the jaw. In a coaching conversation, the client does most of the talking and most of the thinking. Your job is to ask the question that helps them see their own situation more clearly, reflect back what you hear, and hold them to what they said they would do. If you have read our piece on coaching vs teaching, this is the same shift a classroom teacher has to make, only with a different set of habits to unlearn.

What tends to carry over well:

• Presence and attention. Noticing the student whose breath changed when you mentioned the word "rest" is the same muscle as noticing a client's voice drop when they mention their manager.
• Sequencing. You already know how to build from simple to hard over a session and over a term. Multi-week coaching programs work the same way.
• Holding space for emotion. Yin and restorative teachers in particular are used to people crying on the mat and not rushing to fix it.
• Habit thinking. A home practice is a habit. You have spent years helping people try to build one.
• Group facilitation. Workshops, teacher trainings and retreats are group programs with a different label.

What usually has to be learned deliberately:

• Open questions over instructions. "What would a good week look like for you?" instead of "Try waking up 20 minutes earlier."
• Structured goal work. Turning a vague wish into something the client can measure and review.
• Contracting. Agreeing in writing what coaching is, what it is not, how often you meet and how payment works.
• Selling a package. Yoga teachers are used to drop-ins and class passes. Asking someone to commit to twelve weeks feels very different the first few times.
• Scope discipline. Knowing when a conversation has moved into territory that belongs with a therapist or a doctor (more on that below).

Do I need a coaching certification if I already have my yoga training?

Legally, in most places, no; practically, some coach training is worth it, and your yoga certificate does not count toward it. Life coaching is not a licensed profession in the US, the UK or Canada, so no law requires a credential to call yourself a coach. Your yoga teacher training covers asana, anatomy, philosophy and teaching methodology. It does not cover coaching conversations, ethics or goal work.

If you want a recognised credential, the International Coaching Federation's entry level is the ACC. ICF lists the requirements as 60 hours of coach-specific training, 100 hours of coaching experience with at least eight clients, ten hours of mentor coaching, a performance evaluation of a recorded session and the ICF Credentialing Exam (ICF, ACC credential path). For a yoga teacher already seeing a few students one to one, that is often a six to twelve month project rather than a multi-year one.

Do you need the ACC to get your first clients? Usually not. Your first clients are likely to be people who already know you from class, and they are buying trust more than letters after your name. A credential matters more later, if you want corporate wellbeing work, referrals from other professionals or a higher price point. We go into the full trade-offs in life coach qualifications, the costs in how much it costs to become a life coach, and country-specific rules in life coach certification in Canada.

One thing worth knowing: the research base for coaching is real but specific. A 2014 meta-analysis by Theeboom, Beersma and van Vianen in The Journal of Positive Psychology, "Does coaching work?", found that coaching had positive effects on performance and skills, well-being, coping, work attitudes and goal-directed self-regulation, in organisational settings (volume 9, issue 1, pages 1 to 18). That supports the idea that structured coaching helps people move toward goals. It is not evidence that any particular yoga-plus-coaching method works, so do not market it as if it were.

If you plan to pursue the ACC, track your hours from your very first client. Coachful's ICF hour tracking counts coaching hours and distinct clients against ACC, PCC and MCC thresholds and exports a client coaching log, which saves reconstructing a year of calendar entries later.

Where does yoga end and coaching begin, and where do both stop?

Yoga works through the body, coaching works through conversation and commitments, and neither one is treatment. That last part is the scope line that matters most, because yoga teachers attract students who are dealing with anxiety, chronic pain, trauma, grief and illness, and those students will sometimes ask you for help that belongs with a clinician.

Here is how the lines usually fall:

Write the boundary into your coaching agreement in plain words: coaching is not therapy, medical care or financial advice; you will refer them on if something comes up that needs a clinician; and they confirm they will tell you if they are under treatment. Our article can a life coach help with anxiety? shows how that line looks in practice for one of the most common topics yoga students bring. For the physical side of any combined offer, keep a signed waiver too; our yoga waiver template is a starting point, and a local lawyer should review it.

A practical note on records: if you start working with clients who share health details, keep clinical notes out of your coaching tools. Coachful, for example, is not HIPAA-certified and is not meant for clinical record-keeping. Coaching notes about goals, habits and sessions are fine; diagnoses and treatment plans belong with the clinician.

What would I actually sell as a yoga teacher who coaches?

Sell a defined change for a defined group, using movement where it genuinely helps the change, not as decoration. The strongest yoga-plus-coaching offers are not "yoga and life coaching" bundled together. They are a specific result for a specific person, where the body practice is one of the tools.

Some offer shapes that suit yoga teachers, all illustrative:

• A 1:1 reset for burned-out professionals. Eight weekly coaching calls on workload, boundaries and recovery, with a short daily practice and an evening check-in. The coaching does the decision work; the practice gives them something to do with their body at 10pm instead of scrolling.
• A small-group program after teacher training. New teachers often feel lost after their certificate. A six-week group on building a teaching schedule, finding their voice and handling studio politics is coaching, delivered by someone who has lived it. (If this is your angle, you are partly coaching yoga teachers, and our guide to starting an online yoga business is useful background for them.)
• Retreat plus integration. A weekend or week away, followed by six to eight weeks of group calls and habit tracking so the insights do not evaporate on Monday. More on this in the retreat section below.
• Midlife transition coaching. Perimenopause, empty nest, career reinvention: topics where your students already confide in you. Keep the medical side with their doctor and coach the decisions and routines.
• Single sessions as a doorway. A paid 60-minute "clarity session" for students who are curious but not ready for a package.

What to avoid: an offer so broad it could be anyone's ("holistic transformation for mind, body and soul"), or one that sounds like it treats something ("heal your anxiety through breath"). The first will not sell; the second crosses the scope line and invites trouble. If you want help naming a niche, the life coach and health coach pages show how coaches in those fields describe what they do.

Who will my first coaching clients be?

Your first clients are almost certainly already in your classes, your newsletter or your phone contacts. Yoga teachers have something most new coaches would love: a group of people who see them every week and already trust them. The work is to tell those people, plainly, that you now offer something different, and to make it easy to talk about it.

A simple sequence that respects your studio and your students:

1. Check your studio agreement first. Some studios have non-solicitation clauses for their members. Read yours before you say anything in class. If it restricts you, start with your own mailing list and private students.
2. Tell your own list. One honest email: what you are doing, who it is for, and an invitation to a free 20-minute conversation. No hype.
3. Offer a handful of discovery calls. Ask open questions, listen for whether coaching would actually help, and offer a package only when it would.
4. Run a short pilot. Three to five people at a reduced, clearly labelled pilot price, in exchange for honest feedback. Make sure any testimonial you later use reflects their real experience; the FTC's guidance says endorsements "must be honest and not misleading" and that exceptional results need context (FTC Endorsement Guides FAQ).
5. Ask for introductions, not reviews. "Do you know anyone going through something similar?" works better than a request for stars.

Keep the calls organised from day one. A list of who booked, when, and what happened next is how you notice that six discovery calls became one client and change your approach.

One caution about mixing roles: a student who becomes a coaching client may feel awkward in your Tuesday class afterwards, or you may find yourself coaching mid-pose. Agree upfront that class is class and coaching happens in sessions. Most people appreciate the clarity.

What does the money really look like in the first year?

Expect to spend before you earn, and expect the first year of coaching income to be uneven. The table below is entirely illustrative: the numbers are examples to show the arithmetic, not typical results or a forecast for you.

In this illustrative year, coaching brings in a few thousand dollars on top of teaching, and the training cost may wipe out most of it. That is a normal first year. The point of year one is to find out whether you are good at this and whether people will pay, not to replace your teaching income.

The tax line deserves a note because many yoga teachers are already 1099 contractors but have never added a second business. The IRS says self-employment tax is 15.3% (12.4% Social Security plus 2.9% Medicare) and applies once net earnings reach $400 (IRS, self-employment tax). If you expect to owe $1,000 or more when you file, you generally need to make quarterly estimated payments (IRS, estimated taxes). Most new coaches start as sole proprietors, which the SBA describes as "a good choice for low-risk businesses and owners who want to test their business idea" (SBA, business structure). Rules vary by state and country, so check with an accountant.

On pricing your own package: work backwards rather than copying a number. Decide how many clients you can coach well alongside your classes, how much the coaching needs to bring in each month to be worth the evenings, and divide. Then ask whether your offer delivers enough change for that price to feel fair to the client. If it does not, improve the offer before you lower the price.

An illustrative composite: Maya

Maya is not a real person or a customer. She is a composite drawn from patterns that are common among yoga teachers who add coaching, to show how the pieces fit together.

Maya has taught vinyasa and yin for seven years across two studios, about 14 classes a week. She noticed that the students who stayed to talk after class were mostly mid-career professionals running on empty, and that she enjoyed those conversations more than designing new flows. In month one she enrolled in a coach training program and read her studio contracts: one had a non-solicitation clause, one did not. She emailed her own list of about 300 past workshop attendees and booked nine discovery calls.

Four of those became pilot clients for an eight-week "steady evenings" package: weekly calls, a ten-minute evening practice, and a short nightly check-in. By month six, two pilot clients had referred friends, and she raised the price for new clients. She dropped two early-morning classes to make room for calls, kept her yin classes because they were her best source of curious students, and ran her first two-night retreat in month ten with a six-week follow-up group. At twelve months, coaching was a meaningful second income, not a replacement, and she was 70 hours toward her ACC.

Nothing about Maya's path is guaranteed. Another teacher could book nine calls and convert none, or find she prefers teaching. That is exactly why the next question matters.

How do I test this cheaply before I commit?

Run a small, time-boxed pilot before you pay for anything expensive. You can learn most of what you need to know in eight weeks with almost no spending.

• Week 1: Write a one-paragraph description of who you want to help and what changes for them. If you cannot write it, you are not ready to sell it.
• Week 2: Offer five free 30-minute "coaching conversations" to people you know but who are not close friends. Use a simple tool such as the wheel of life to give the conversation structure.
• Weeks 3 and 4: Ask each person afterwards what was useful and what was not. Notice whether you talked more than they did.
• Weeks 5 to 8: Offer two or three people a short paid pilot at a low, clearly labelled price. Deliver it properly: agreement, scheduled calls, notes, a weekly check-in.

At the end, ask yourself three questions. Did people pay? Did they get something they could name? Did you enjoy the work more than a full day of classes? Two out of three is a good sign. None out of three is useful information too, and it cost you two months rather than two years.

Be wary of anyone selling you the shortcut. The FTC warns that "If it promises guaranteed income, large returns, or a 'proven system,' it's likely a scam," and names online business coaching schemes that claim big money with little experience (FTC consumer advice). A good coach training program will tell you how hard client acquisition is.

How much time does this take alongside teaching?

Plan on five to eight hours a week for the first six months, most of it not coaching. That is an illustrative estimate based on the tasks involved, not a measured average.

Here is where the hours tend to go: coach training (often two to four hours a week of classes and practice sessions), discovery calls and follow-up, writing to your list, setting up booking and payments, and then the coaching sessions themselves. Yoga teachers have an awkward advantage and an awkward problem here. The advantage is that your schedule is already flexible; mid-morning and early afternoon are often free. The problem is that your energy is physical, and back-to-back classes followed by evening coaching calls is a recipe for burnout, which is exactly what many of your future clients will be coaching with you about.

A practical rule: protect your best coaching hours the way you protect a class slot. Put two or three fixed coaching blocks in your week, let clients book only into those, and do not stack a call immediately after a hot class. Booking rules with buffers and minimum notice make this enforceable rather than a matter of willpower.

Are retreats and programs the natural bridge?

Yes, for many yoga teachers retreats are the bridge, as long as you add structure after the retreat ends. A retreat is already a group program: intention-setting, daily practice, reflection, a closing circle. What it usually lacks is follow-through. People go home inspired and are back in their old routines by the second Wednesday.

Turning a retreat into a coaching offer usually means three additions:

• An intake before arrival. A short questionnaire about what each person wants to change, so the week is aimed at something.
• A commitment at the closing circle. Each participant names one or two habits and one decision they want to make in the next six weeks.
• Six to eight weeks of integration. Weekly group calls, a small daily practice, a simple check-in and a group space where participants can keep talking.

The integration phase is where the coaching happens, and it is often where the value people remember lives. It also turns a one-off event into something you can sell again, either as a standalone online program or as the follow-up to your next retreat.

The group space matters more than it sounds. After a retreat, participants want to stay in touch with each other, not just with you. A community feed and group chat inside the same app where their habits and calls live keeps that energy in one place instead of in a WhatsApp group you do not control.

If you are going to run retreats, look at your insurance and waivers again: hosting overnight events, travel and physical activity add risks a weekly class does not have. The SBA lists general liability, professional liability and home-based business insurance among the common types (SBA, business insurance).

Should I stop teaching classes while I build?

No, not at first. Keep teaching. Your classes are your income floor, your credibility and your best source of future clients. The safer route to full-time coaching is to swap the classes you enjoy least for coaching hours, one at a time, rather than quitting.

The question to keep asking is which classes earn their place. A Sunday morning class full of regulars who chat afterwards might be worth more than its fee because it feeds your coaching. A 6am corporate class across town might be the first to go. Make that decision with three months of data, not on a hard Tuesday.

It also helps to know that studio software and coaching software solve different problems. Studios typically run on class-booking systems such as Mindbody, Momence or Arketa, which are built around class schedules, memberships and front desks rather than one-to-one coaching programs. Mindbody lists a Starter plan from $79 a month per location, with higher tiers by quote, and its marketplace app takes 20% (capped at $30) of a new client's first purchase, as listed in October 2026.

Arketa's Individual plan, aimed at solo instructors, is listed at $49 a month on annual billing with a 3% Arketa transaction fee on top of Stripe processing, as listed in October 2026. Tools like these suit selling classes. If your coaching grows, you will want something built around clients, programs and conversations instead; our guide to the best platform for yoga teachers covers both sides.

What will my studio, my students and my family think?

Mostly, they will be curious, and a few will be uneasy. The unease usually comes from a fear of being sold to, so be clear and low-pressure.

Your studio owner may worry you are poaching members. Be open about it, respect any written agreement, and consider whether there is a version that helps the studio too: a paid workshop on habit-building, hosted in their space, that brings them new faces. Some owners will welcome it. Some will not, and that tells you something about how long you want to depend on that studio.

Your students generally like their teacher, and many will be pleased you are offering more. Do not pitch in class. Mention it once, at the end, and point to a page or an email. Never let a student feel their place in class depends on buying coaching.

Your family or partner will mostly want to know about money and time. Show them the illustrative budget, the pilot plan and the date you will review it. "I am trying this for six months and here is how I will know" is easier to support than "I am becoming a life coach."

Your own fear deserves a hearing too. Many yoga teachers worry they are not "qualified enough" to coach. Training will help with that. So will remembering that you will be coaching people on things you have actual experience with: routines, recovery, stress and making a living from a calling. If you want company while you build, the Coachful Collective is a year-long program for building a coaching business, with weekly live group coaching calls, the step-by-step CLIMB curriculum and daily written feedback from the Coachful team in a private community of coaches, with a year of Coachful Pro included.

What mistakes do yoga teachers make when they start coaching?

The common ones come from bringing class habits into coaching sessions, or from believing a few myths about the profession.

• Myth: "I just need a certificate and clients will come." A credential helps with trust and skill. It does not book discovery calls. Plan the client side from week one.
• Mistake: teaching instead of coaching. If you leave a session having given eight tips and asked two questions, it was a private class. Flip the ratio.
• Mistake: pricing like a drop-in. Selling coaching session by session at class prices keeps you on the per-hour treadmill you were trying to leave. Package it.
• Myth: "Coaching is therapy-lite." It is not, and marketing it that way is a scope problem. Coaching works with people who are functioning and want to move forward; therapy treats.
• Mistake: wellness word soup. "Align your energy and step into your power" tells nobody what they will get. Name the person, the problem and the result.
• Mistake: no agreement. A short written coaching agreement, signed before the first call, prevents most of the awkward conversations about refunds, missed sessions and scope. See coaching contracts.
• Mistake: running everything through DMs. Booking in Instagram messages, payments by bank transfer and notes in your phone works for two clients. At six, things slip.
• Myth: "If I'm good, I'll earn six figures in a year." Nobody can promise that, and the FTC treats unsupported earnings claims seriously. Judge your progress against your own goals.

Is the move from yoga teacher to life coach right for you right now?

Use this self-check honestly. It is not a scoring system, just a way to see where you stand.

Mostly left column: start a pilot this month. A mix: start training and run free practice conversations while you sharpen your niche. Mostly right column: that is a "not yet," not a "never." Keep teaching, practise asking questions after class, and revisit in six months.

What does the first year look like, month by month?

This is an illustrative path, not a schedule you have to follow. Some teachers move faster; many take longer, and that is fine.

At the twelve-month mark, sit down with your numbers and your energy levels. Do you want more coaching and fewer classes, the same balance, or to return to teaching full time with better skills? All three are legitimate outcomes.

What does starting look like in Coachful?

When you are ready to take paying clients, this is what setting up the practice looks like in Coachful. Coachful is a coaching platform: one subscription covers booking, payments, coaching agreements, multi-week programs with habits and check-ins, courses, a community, a website with funnels and email, and an AI assistant, with one login for you and one branded app for your clients. It is built for coaches who deliver programs, not just sessions, which suits yoga teachers who think in terms of series and sequences.

Your offer. Start with one package, such as an eight-week 1:1 program, and perhaps a single paid session as an entry point. Each offer has its own page describing who it is for and what it promises.

Booking and payments. Booking pages follow your availability rules, with buffers and minimum notice so a coaching call never lands straight after a hot class. Calendars sync both ways with Google, Apple/iCloud and Outlook, and calls use built-in video or an auto-created Zoom, Meet or Teams link. Payments go through your own Stripe or Razorpay account: one-time, subscriptions or payment plans, with Coachful taking a 0% platform fee, so only the processor's fees apply. The coaching agreement is signed electronically before the first call and stored on the client's record.

Programs. A program is a multi-week container with weekly goals, daily tasks, habits and morning and evening check-ins. For a yoga teacher, that might be a six-week post-retreat integration with a daily ten-minute practice, a nightly reflection and a weekly group call. You can add your own practice videos as content for clients; Coachful does not supply stock yoga or exercise videos.

The client app. Clients use the Coachful app with your branding: their program, habits, check-ins, messages and community in one place. It ships under the Coachful listing with your branding inside, not as your own App Store app.

This short walkthrough shows how programs are built:

Why Coachful stands out: a free white-glove service. From Create, choose "We'll build it for you" and describe what you want: a website, an offer page, a program, a funnel, an email sequence. Attach reference links and files such as your logo and photos. The Coachful team builds it inside your own account, usually within about 24 hours. Nothing is invented: no fake credentials, testimonials or prices, and gaps are left for you to fill. It does not include recording videos, logo design or ongoing marketing. Read more about the free white-glove service.

What Coachful is not. It is not HIPAA-certified and not meant for clinical records. It does not take PayPal, and there is no permanent free plan, though there is a free trial. It is not a class-booking system for a studio front desk. Current plans: Lite: $29/month for up to 5 clients; Solo: $49/month for up to 20 clients; Pro: $99/month with unlimited clients; Studio: $199/month with unlimited clients. Lower plans cap the number of clients; Pro is unlimited; monthly plans cancel in one click.

How to start. Begin a free trial, request the free white-glove build for your first offer and program, and send your first discovery-call link to your list. If you want structured support while you build the business itself, the Coachful Collective adds weekly group coaching calls and the CLIMB curriculum.

Frequently asked questions

Can a yoga teacher legally call themselves a life coach?

In the US, the UK and Canada, life coaching is not a licensed profession, so no law requires a credential to use the title. What you cannot do is present coaching as therapy, medical care or financial advice. Check local rules if you work elsewhere, and see our guide to life coach qualifications.

Does my 200-hour yoga training count toward an ICF credential?

No. ICF credentials require coach-specific training; for the ACC that is 60 hours, plus 100 hours of coaching experience with at least eight clients, mentor coaching, a performance evaluation and an exam. Your yoga training is valuable background, but it is not coach education.

Should I offer yoga and coaching in the same session?

Sometimes, but keep the parts distinct. A short practice at the start of a coaching call can help a client settle, and that is fine if it serves the goal. A session that is mostly a private class with some chat at the end is a private class, and should be priced and described that way.

Is it unethical to coach my own yoga students?

Not inherently, but it needs care. Respect any non-solicitation clause in your studio agreement, never make coaching feel like a condition of being welcome in class, and agree with the client that class and coaching stay separate. If the dual relationship starts to feel uncomfortable for either of you, refer them to another coach.

How long before coaching can replace my teaching income?

There is no reliable answer, and anyone who gives you one is guessing. Steady coaching income often takes longer to build than people expect. Plan for coaching to be a second income for at least the first twelve months and review with real numbers.

What if a coaching client tells me about a mental health crisis?

Stop coaching and help them get appropriate support: their doctor, a licensed therapist, or emergency services if they are at risk. Your coaching agreement should already say you will refer on in these situations. Coaching can continue later alongside treatment if their clinician agrees it is helpful.

Do I need a business entity to start?

Not usually. Many coaches start as sole proprietors, which the SBA describes as a way to test a business idea, and move to an LLC later. Self-employment tax applies once net earnings reach $400 in the US. Check with an accountant for your situation.

What is Coachful's free white-glove build?

It is a service on every plan where the Coachful team builds something for you inside your own account: a website, offer page, program, funnel, email sequence and more. You describe it, attach references, and it is usually ready within about 24 hours. It does not include recording videos, logo design or ongoing marketing.

Can I run retreats through Coachful?

Coachful handles the coaching around a retreat: intake forms, payments and payment plans, a follow-up program with habits and check-ins, a community space and group calls. It does not manage venue bookings, rooms or travel, so those stay with whatever you use today.

I'm a teacher outside yoga. Is this guide relevant?

Much of it is, but the details differ. Our guide to going from teacher to life coach covers classroom teachers, and how to start a coaching business as a teacher walks through the business setup.
