Hi....I just found you tonight and you're awesome! I would love to talk with you about your little Keychains. Our YTT is over in Dec.... and I'd like to get everyone a gift. I'm moving on to the 1000 hr Integrative Yoga Therapist program, but most of them aren't... and I would love to gift them this.

[@AshleyHagen]

@@tammycoin Are you wondering how to make them yourself or you are looking to buy them from someone?

[@tammycoin]

@Ashleyhagen - replied to one of your emails. To buy them

[@destinationawaken]

WOW the 1-day VIP retreat experience sounds AMAZING

[@destinationawaken]

Absolutely love your ingenuity with the yoga mat keychains!!! YOU HAVE UNLEASHED THE CREATIVITY WITHIN ME!!!!

[@destinationawaken]

Okay out of these WOW - you have helped me get so much clarity and totally transform my business model! I am now going to do the following - Membership Online Studio, Full Day Retreats for Corporations and companies, digital courses and product packages and affiliate marketing!!!! I already have been approved for a number of affiliate programs. I am moving to NYC next month so its perfect for acquiring corporations as clients! I am sooo excited to grow this online business, thank YOU!

[@debraleong5519]

Hi Ashley, Thank you so much. I used to teach in studios, Corp and private classes. Then went to a day job. Now getting back in the saddle at least part time in the evening. Thank you for all your help and generous offers. Very much appreciated. You've been super helpful.

[@radiateyoga]

Wow 🤩 I cannot get enough of your videos! This particular one was HUGE for me. It’s simple, not rocket science and yet I needed you to put it all in this fantastically executed video in order for me to see all the ways in which I can make money as a yoga teacher. I’ve added it all to a plan that will lead me to $5k months and I am so excited to start implementing. Thank you, Ashley!

you are brilliant thank you Ash - you are so generous with your thoughts and ideas - and you have so got this content thing zipped up! congrats - such an inclusive channel thank you x

[@AshleyHagen]

Thanks for your super nice comment. One or two video a week... that's what it takes. After a couple years, a wonderful library of resources has been created. I'll keep sharing. I have many more content ideas coming up!

[@startyogawithdebrajaee]

Such awesome info! Thx ☺️

[@michalina3474]

Thank you for this video! I haven't thought about a 1-day retreat, it's a great idea it's even better than workshops bc my students do not always want to hear about philosophy or other stuff, they simply want to relax and spend timer together.

[@AshleyHagen]

Yes, mini retreats are so much fun. I wish I could do more of it, but it's just not in my current business plan. Perhaps in the future. I honestly love event planning. It's fun to get 3-4 topics or events and smush them into one day. Makes it a great experience for locals, or semi-local up to a couple hours away.

[@malaenalynch2451]

Helpful tips... Thank you 😊

Really helpful video. I run group classes, an online membership group, hold quarterly day retreats and make essential oil candles as well as eye pillows with Liberty fabric. Just need a few more hours in the day though ;-)

Really enjoyed this video - keep up the great work! Definitely going to steal a few things that you mentioned for some of my future content ;)

[@AshleyHagen]

Go for it!

[@destinationawaken]

Thank you SO much for this video, makes it so simple. I am most interested in teaching private. I have taught group and private and LOVE both because group is more like a wellness party, private is like hone in transformations. thank YOU for sharing these structures.

[@renatarodrigues2507]

Thank you 🙏

[@destinationawaken]

OMG thank you for talking about corporate yoga!!!!!

[@AshleyHagen]

And yet I know very little about corporate yoga, but I see conversations about it frequently in my Facebook groups. So I know second hand. It is really a great option, though, for those that have the option in larger cities.

[@destinationawaken]

$1,000 COURSE SOUNDS INCREDIBLE and I do EFT Tapping also so this would be HUGE

[@lotusladyogini]

Ashley! Thank you so much. I’m teaching 14 group classes a week & getting paid $15 per class. I’m starting to think from all I’ve been reading, learning and just experiencing that I may need to ask for more.. I’m a new yoga teacher with a lot of experience, my classes are really well received and I get great feedback. But I also live in a small area and working at an unpopular yoga studio. I’ve formed great relationships with my students which keeps me here rather than going to more well known yoga studios… maybe I should start offering private classes as well. Thanks for your insight. Puts a lot into perspective for me!

[@AshleyHagen]

Definitely see what more you can offer, or ask for a little more. $15 a class is really super low. I was teaching 10 classes a week at $30 per class base when I started in 2013. I also taught 4 or 5 at other gyms that paid $20-25 per class. And even that was just enough to make it by in my super cheap apartment as a single person supporting only myself in a really low cost of living area (Fargo, ND). I would also "donate" plasma twice a week for $70/week and pick up odd jobs and projects when possible. Workshops and series are also a great option. Now that I'm in the Seattle area, there's no way I could even make it by with $30/class. Adding online courses and memberships have been life saving.

[@anniesweeney5562]

Girl that is SO low.. yoga teachers are professionals! You should hopefully make at least double whatever minimum wage is in your area

[@PauseBoden]

Hi Ash! Thanks for all the tips! I’ve just started my channel and wanted to know how many videos/subscribers you had before you approached Amazon about repping their products.

[@AshleyHagen]

I signed up for the Amazon associates program as soon as I heard that was an option to do so from one of my first business coaches. This was back in 2016. I never knew it was a thing prior to that. Do it as soon as you can. Anyone can sign up.

[@PauseBoden]

@@AshleyHagen Thank you! I'm also signing up for Offering Tree.

[@gizembozer8743]

Hey Ashley, thank you so much. Currently I am giving private lessons and also one online group yoga class. But I am really concerned that what if they stop taking classes. So, I am not a yoga teacher in any yoga studio for now. Should I really be, do you think it is more safe?

[@AshleyHagen]

Safe? I'm not so sure about that. It's a little more reliable to teach for a studio, but won't be as financially lucrative. Many studios are still struggling, too. It's great experience, though. Always god to have a back-up plan. Teaching on your own, work on marketing to attract new students, and doing what you can for retention of current students. It's inevitable that students will stop, or move, or change jobs, or any number of things. Have a plan set in place that you know how to replace the students that leave.

[@healthyhappyyoga]

My membership and in-person retreats return the most revenue for effort. Everything takes effort though! ;D

[@AshleyHagen]

So much effort, yes!

[@canaanbowling541]

Uhhhh where can I buy the keychain?? Hahaha I love them!

[@bumbumfitness]

I’d like to discuss the kinds of offerings that would go into $1000 high ticket online yoga or dance for program.

[@Summer20032]

Im impressed by the prices you’ve mentioned for yoga classes, in my area I know only one yoga teacher whom does yoga classes, there’s no one else, she changes £30 for 4 classes, it’s less then minimum wages per hour, she teaches in every local community centre, I have thought in start to teach but I think no one would go take my classes if I charge more then she does, and I think that £7.5 for a class is just not enough.

[@AshleyHagen]

If you have a lot of people attending, it might be enough. Maybe she does it for fun and doesn't necessarily need additional income. You can definitely charge more. Don't base your prices off of hers. Good luck!

[@Summer20032]

@@AshleyHagen She does it as a full time job and I’ve seen her schedule on her social media , she teach 8 classes per week, she has a lot of clients and she seem to be the only one who teach yoga in my area, I live in a small town. Thanks for replying.

[@Isabel.N.Holistic.Coach.]

In the UK for some reason is always low...

[@saucekia]

thank you for this video! I have just recently received my RYT200 certificate, so this was indeed very helpful 🥰

[@AshleyHagen]

Congrats on getting your 200 hr certificate! I'm glad this video was helpful for you.

[@aidahguiebre4811]

So helpful. So currently I am teaching one class weekly 30 mins for free on Mondays just to get myself use to teaching yoga. I have placed an order to sell my own yoga straps also working on journals also. Looking for how to actually sell my straps online without a website. I am volunteering with a non-profit to teach yoga classes which turn into a paid gig after I fullfill more hours. Where can I get info for yoga related affiliate info?

[@AshleyHagen]

When I'm talking about affiliates, I'm more talking about becoming an affiliate with companies and promoting their products. If you have your own products and want to add affiliates to sell them for you, there are some episodes on my favorite podcast I remember listening to with this exact info. Maybe look those up. My favorite business/marketing podcast is Build Your Tribe with Chalene Johnson. There is an episode or two on how to add affiliates to sell your products. Look up "Build Your Tribe Affiliate" in a podcast app and a lot of episodes will come up.

[@aidahguiebre4811]

@@AshleyHagen still growing and I don’t think I’m ready for affiliate to sell for me yet but I’m interested in becoming an affiliate. Thank you again for all the info

[@KimberlyLetsGo]

You can sell your straps on Facebook marketplace. Best to you!!!!

[@Gabriellekidd]

Do you have a video on how to start with teaching privates? It's such a different dynamic

[@AshleyHagen]

No. I do not teach privates, nor do I have much personal experience with it in the past. I could provide a few tips on the advice I’ve heard and read. But I’m definitely not the go-to private yoga teacher coach.

[@KimberlyLetsGo]

Do you still make/sell the yoga keychains? They are adorable!!

[@AshleyHagen]

I have a bunch made (maybe like 100), but I'm not sure I'd be able to keep up with the demand if I offered them again this year. My audience is at least 10x bigger now. So I'm questioning whether or not to sell them again. Or keep them as gifts for the people who invest in my courses.

[@CobraFlows]

How much have you made teaching private lessons?

[@AshleyHagen]

$0. I don't choose to teach private yoga lessons. I have seen and heard a lot of yoga teachers have great success with private lessons, though. And many who swear that it is the best way to earn a full-time income as a teacher. I choose instead to focus on group coaching and online courses and that works really well for me. And I really love teaching group classes.

[@aspire2begreat938]

Can I also make and sell the key chains?

[@AshleyHagen]

Yes 100%. Make sure to use your own photos of them.

[@ashockablack1670]

Can you be 100% virtual yoga instructor and make good income,or is this something you see more profit with in person?

[@AshleyHagen]

From my experience, online yoga teaching is a lot easier to make more money because you have most of the world as your potential audience. In person has a lot more limits, especially in a small town. It's hard either way, but it's possible. I see a lot of people succeeding both in person and online.

[@jenny-DD]

Definitely never buy a Yoga Studio 🎙

[@AshleyHagen]

Do you have a bad experience? Buying a studio might be right decision for a lot of people. Everyone's life and goals are different.
