A neighborhood wants to hire me to teach two Yoga classes at their community center 1x a month. They have said it will be about a 3 hour time commitment broken down as follows:
-30 min set up
-Two 50 minute classes (1 family, 1 adult only)
-30 min clean up

They asked what I want to be paid.

I am a newer yoga teacher… RYT-200 with 7 months experience. I currently teach at my YMCA and make $25 a class. I’m unsure of how much to charge out on my own.

For reference, I live in Texas.

Any advice on price is much appreciated!

I teach yoga and Pilates at a gym and have access to lots of props and we have sliders.

Last week I used sliders in my Pilates class and we did a move that was essentially dolphin pose. From forearm plank with sliders under each foot we piked our hips up, moved our head between our upper arms, and then reset in forearm plank. While doing that, I thought this would be a cool way to teach the core engagement aspect of dolphin pose. It sent awareness to the core and legs and I felt like people weren’t dumping into their shoulders as much as I see when we take dolphin pose in yoga.

So, would it be ok to pull out the sliders and find dolphin pose. I wouldn’t make my yoga students slide in and out repeatedly like I did my Pilates students,

What do y’all think? Good idea or bad? Sliders are NOT a traditional prop, I know!

Namaste! 🙏🏼
