Course structure
Teaching privately is a good way to challenge yourself and develop as a teacher. However, teaching individual lessons in the same way you would teach a group class may do both you and your student a disservice. Irina provides you with tools and tips to enable you to build a private teaching business, which is respectful to your boundaries and beneficial for your students.
What you will learn:
- Identify the main differences between group and private classes.
- Explore the demographics and practices that align most with your teaching to identify your ‘perfect’ student match.
- Find the most effective marketing tools and techniques to reach your ideal students.
- Gather tips on practical matters, such as your teaching schedule, price packages, teaching location, and Terms and Conditions.
- Learn the key principles of meaningful and efficient communication with your students before and during the class.
- Learn to use Ayurveda to build classes that resonate with your students.
- Explore breath work as a means to assess what your students need and learn to adapt your classes accordingly.
- Do’s and Don’ts for a targeted and enjoyable one-to-one lesson.
- Acquire self-care tips for use before, during and after a class.
Starting each class with a short meditation, Irina encourages you to tune in and identify what resonates with you as a teacher. Finishing each class with a restorative pose encourages you to absorb what you’ve learned.
To illustrate Irina’s teachings and round off this course we have added three EkhartYoga classes based on the 3 Doshas - Pitta, Vata and Kapha.
