Yoga Teachers, Prepare for the New Year’s Rush - Part 3




This is the last article of this series, and by now, you should be getting some fresh ideas that will help you design a couple of new Yoga classes in your studio.

Pet Yoga: This is a nice idea, but this is for friendly and house trained pets, only, unless you teach the class outside. Dog Yoga has been referred to as Doga. This is a great workshop concept, as long as there are no hostile pets present.


Chair Yoga: Most of these classes are held at senior centers, assisted living complexes, nursing homes, and physical rehabilitation facilities. It will be hard to establish a following at most Yoga studios, as this group is less mobile and transportation is a big
