TAA 017: How to Get Private Clients (and how to keep them)

Imagine graduating from yoga teacher training and feeling ready to dive into your new career, but then hitting a wall when it comes to finding private clients. Brian Aganad, the host of The Asana Academy Podcast, knows this struggle all too well. In this episode, he offers practical advice for yoga teachers who want to make the leap from part-time to full-time by building a solid base of private clients.

Brian starts by explaining the key differences between teaching classes and working with individual clients. He emphasizes that while classes can be a great way to build your skills, private clients often require a more tailored approach. One of the first steps, according to Brian, is determining your rate. This can be tricky, but he provides some straightforward tips to help you set a fair price for your services.

He also stresses the importance of selecting clients who have clear goals and are committed to their practice. Not all clients are worth your time, and it's crucial to recognize this early on. Another critical aspect covered in this episode is protecting yourself as a yoga teacher. From legal considerations to setting boundaries, Brian shares his wisdom on how to safeguard your career. He also touches on the power of referrals and testimonials in growing your client base.

If you're a yoga teacher looking to transition into full-time work or simply want to enhance your private client roster, this episode is packed with valuable insights and actionable tips.
