The Ultimate Guide to Marketing for Yoga & Pilates Teachers
You became a teacher to teach — not to spend hours battling with social media, websites, and figuring out how to fill your classes. If you’re winging it, posting to crickets, and wondering “Why is this so hard?” — you’re not alone.
This course breaks marketing down into simple, practical steps designed especially for yoga and Pilates teachers. No fluff. No jargon. Just clear guidance to help you build a business that works for you — without the stress.
Across five modules and 11 lessons, we’ll cover:
The essentials to get your business up and running
What makes you unique, and how to stand out
Websites and SEO, made simple and doable
Local marketing and making bookings easy
Email and social media, without the burnout
You’ll get what actually matters — no marketing degree required. This is everything I wish every teacher training programme included. This is what I do every single day, let me help you!
The course costs £225, or split into two instalments of £120.
What you’ll learn here will save you hours of guesswork — so you can focus on what you love: sharing yoga.
Imagine feeling the same confidence you have teaching a flow, when it comes to your marketing. Imagine knowing exactly what you’re doing and why… and not wasting money & time on tasks you hate!
Is this course for me?
This course is for yoga and Pilates teachers who want to feel better — and more confident — about marketing.
You didn’t learn this on your teacher training. It can feel overwhelming, uncomfortable, and lonely trying to figure it out on your own. Wouldn’t it feel good to have clarity, confidence, and a plan that actually makes sense? To finally build the business you dreamt of when you first started?
Whether you're just starting out or have been teaching for years, this course offers a step-by-step guide to help you feel confident and in control of your business.
You might be:
Recently qualified and not sure where to start
A few years in, but still not feeling confident or clear
Actively teaching, but unsure how everything fits together or where to focus your energy
Experienced, but ready to grow and want more structure, strategy, and support
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all blueprint — it’s a sensible, practical framework you can make your own. Think of it like learning how to draw a forest: we’ll guide you through the shape and structure, but the trees, colours, seasons, and details? That’s all you.

I found her a few weeks after opening my first yoga studio and she appeared like a shining star to guide my way.”
