## About Mentorship for Yoga Teachers

I get what it's like to finish your teacher training and think, "Ab kya? (Now what?)" The struggle to move from certification to a real yoga teaching career is real - it's not all about making Insta-perfect poses or chasing viral reels.

### My Journey, Your Shortcut

I’ve taught over 5,000 online classes in the past five years. Honestly, I’ve had my fair share of awkward silences, tricky students, and those moments you just want to quit. My own naseeb (fate) led me here, so I want to help you skip some of the trial and error.

### Who This Masterclass Is For

- If you're fresh out of Teacher Training and feeling lost, this is for you.
- If the online yoga world seems confusing, I’ll break it down.
- You’ll get practical advice for yoga instructors, not just generic tips.
- No magic tricks, just the stuff nobody talks about.

### What We’ll Actually Do

- Figure out the yoga teacher business mentorship basics: pricing, setting up socials, handling inquiries.
- Dive into online yoga class strategies - teaching, engaging, giving attention without burning out.
- Manage students and boundaries: tough questions, onboarding, whether to go private or group.

### Real Talk Space

- Two hours on Zoom, live and interactive.
- Ask whatever’s on your mind, no judgement.
- I’ve been there, so nothing’s too silly or basic.

### [Real Talk for Teachers](https://mytribe.in/charusyogaclass/mentorship-for-yoga-teachers/real-talk-for-teachers)

- [Video: I've noticed a lot of fear among yoga teachers when it comes to talking about money. I want to know why we are so hesitant to share our fee structures or guide a fellow teacher on financial matters. Let's break down this insecurity together.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/a4968f39-a9b1-48ce-be3a-ad03fd60550f)

- [Video: This is some tough love, but it needs to be said. You can't expect results if you aren't willing to do the work, and that includes taking care of your own health. Your students look to you as an example.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/12286d95-cd47-4af9-b623-c4b4a3cec2cc)
- ![I'm a yoga teacher, and I'll be the first to say it.

- ![As a teacher, you have to ask yourself why you are posting on social media. Are you doing it because you genuinely enjoy it, or are you just feeling the pressure to keep up with the hype? Being honest with yourself is the first step.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/c4d92f64-19b9-4e3c-984a-788740df4871)
- ![The one day hype of Yoga Day might bring one or two new students, but after that, it's a "shit show." Real, sustainable teaching is built on consistency and authenticity, not on a single day's trend.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/145980ef-c340-4268-bb2d-c4e190719e1b)
- ![Instead of chasing hype, strive to be an example. Practice what the philosophy preaches by living mindfully, being kind, and taking care of your own mental and physical health. That is what truly inspires students.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/647f6edf-0901-424b-9b2d-af0ae1e876c2)
- ![Let's be honest, most of us teachers have not explored the full depth of yogic philosophy.

## Meet your expert

[Charu](https://mytribe.in/charusyogaclass)

### My story

I’m Charu. My dad raised me tough – discipline, self-respect, and a flat belly was his motto. Life threw me a curveball with back pain, disc bulges, and endless nights of sciatica. I cried, I doubted, but yoga taught me to face the raw truth. From lifting tiny weights in physio to squatting with 15kg now – I’m proud. Mumbai’s chaos, family rice and aamti in the baarish (rain), travel, all of it keeps me grateful. It’s taken a village, and I’m never forgetting that.

### My work

- **Yoga & Movement Classes**: I teach online Hatha yoga classes, Vinyasa, strength training, and movement sessions.
- **Workshops & Retreats**: Host special asana workshops like Headstands and wellness retreats in Mulshi.
- **My Teaching Style**: Tough love, slow counting, and ‘spy eyes’ – I’ll cheer you on and call you out.
- **Yoga for Real Life**: Forget Insta-perfect poses. We do blindfolded Surya Namaskar and focus on stability, breath, and self-awareness.
- **Who Can Join?**: Mostly women, working pros, beginners – just show up and breathe, I’ll handle the rest.
