How to Make Money Online as a Yoga Teacher
Why now’s the time to go online
Traditionally, yoga teachers have relied on in-person classes, retreats, and workshops to make a living. But with the rise of digital platforms, there are more ways than ever to monetize your skills online. Whether you want to supplement your income or transition fully into the digital space, these strategies will help you build a sustainable online yoga business.
1. Offer Virtual Yoga Classes & Coaching
Live or on-demand sessions let you work with clients from anywhere while providing flexibility in pricing. You can offer one-time drop-in sessions, ongoing memberships, or exclusive content for paying subscribers.
2. Launch Your Own App
A custom app gives you complete control over your content, allowing you to sell courses, memberships, and programs—all in one seamless platform. It’s a powerful way to scale while keeping your audience engaged without relying on social media algorithms.
Hint, hint: Our platform makes it easy to launch, customize, and monetize your own branded yoga experience. Here are a few we’ve built for reference: Yoga+ by Mary, Yoga Happy with Hannah Barrett, and The Stretch App. View our partners here, and click here to apply for your own app app today!
3. Sell Digital Products
E-books, downloadable guides, and self-paced courses create passive income and help you reach a global audience. Whether it’s a 30-day challenge, nutrition plans, or training programs, digital products let you monetize your expertise without trading time for money.
These products provide passive income and can be sold on your website or via platforms like Kajabi, Teachable, or Thinkific.
4. Monetize Your Social Media
Platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram offer revenue opportunities through ad earnings, brand partnerships, and subscription-based content. The key is posting consistently and providing value-driven content that keeps your audience engaged.
5. Partner with Brands
Affiliate marketing, sponsorships, and brand collaborations can generate extra income by promoting products or services you already love. Just be sure to align with brands that reflect your values to maintain trust with your audience.
The journey to building an online yoga business is exciting and rewarding. Take the first step today, and watch your practice grow beyond the studio walls!
