If you've been struggling to find yoga teaching work, whether you just finished your 200-hour, moved to a new city, or feel like there are more teachers than there are jobs—this one's for you.

Brea Johnson, founder of Heart + Bones and a yoga teacher with over two decades of experience, shares the honest, practical strategies she wishes more teachers knew about. From her years owning a brick-and-mortar studio (and being the one doing the hiring), she knows exactly what gets a teacher noticed, and what doesn't.

Found a creative way to build your teaching career that we didn't cover? Drop it in the comments—we'd love to hear it!

What we cover:

Why the yoga studio isn't always the best place to start — and what to do instead
How to rent your own space and actually fill it (even when nobody knows you yet)
The power of finding a niche to grow your classes faster
Working with gyms, physiotherapists, chiropractors, and corporate offices
What Brea looked for as a studio owner — and the things that almost guaranteed someone wouldn't get hired
How to build relationships that open doors, even if you're introverted
Why subbing is one of the most underrated ways to get your foot in the door
