Shownotes Transcript

Are you still vying for a decent time slot to teach at your local studio? According to Office Yoga founder Maryam Sharifzadeh, your efforts would be far better spent finding a few corporate teaching gigs. Consider this statistic from Sharifzadeh: In the US there is one yoga studio for every 10,000 businesses. That's a lot more premium time slots, with better pay and, in all likelihood, shorter classes!

Sharifzadeh founded her business, Office Yoga, in 2014 and shares all the goods about how to go about teaching in the workplace, including:

  • How to adapt to the time and sequencing constraints in a corporate environment
  • What to wear -- and what not to wear -- to your interview
  • How to determine the learning objectives for each class and workplace
  • Important ways to gain feedback and understand the inner-workings of the organization
  • The most common way she finds corporate gigs
  • Three things to considering when pricing your offerings

Sharifzadeh's passion for office yoga is infectious -- as she puts it, people in offices need you, they want you, and they really appreciate the yoga. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy) for more information.
