Time management is crucial for yours and your students well-being.
Properly managing your time can improve your personal life and your student relationships. This guide provides tailored strategies and techniques to help yoga teachers master their schedules.
Teaching yoga, while fulfilling, can also be mentally and physically demanding. Poor time management can lead to burnout, stress, and a reduced quality of personal life. By effectively managing your time, you ensure you have moments for self-care, relaxation, and personal growth.
When you’re organised and not constantly rushing from one class to another, you can give your students the attention they deserve, enhancing their learning experience and strengthening your bond.
Not all tasks are created equal. List all your daily and weekly tasks, then prioritise them. Ensure your personal practice doesn’t get lost amid your teaching and admin. Remember, a teacher who practices regularly can teach from a place of experience and authenticity.
There are numerous apps and tools designed for scheduling and time management. Consider using software that makes the running of the business side easier.
Yoga Alliance Professionals have collaborated with HeyMarvelous, where you can access exclusive plans and start scheduling your offerings. From automatic student notification reminders to students making payments directly, this tool is a real time saver!
Many yoga teachers need to work on not overcommitting. It might be time to reassess if you constantly feel rushed, exhausted, or overwhelmed. Be realistic about how many classes you can teach and how much personal time you need.
You may feel like you can’t turn down work due to money, but you should create additional offerings (such as memberships) that don’t rely on your presence. HeyMarvelous can do this for you, too!
Continuous learning is vital for a yoga teacher. Schedule regular intervals for self-study, attending workshops, or taking classes yourself. This ensures that you’re continually growing personally and as an instructor.
Your time management needs may change as a yoga teacher as you grow and evolve. Be open to these shifts and adjust accordingly. Start to expand your offerings and run like a business. You can eventually start hiring help and other teachers.
