Is it possible to make a living as a full-time yoga teacher?

Question:
Is it possible to make a living as a full-time yoga teacher?

Answer:

The answers and the problems vary.

Yoga is now offered in nearly every gym and health club.The demand for Yoga is growing, but the number of Yoga teachers is growing at the same or faster rate.

Most yoga teachers do not make a lot of money. Those teachers that do make their living solely by teaching yoga work incredibly hard at it in a profession where there are no health benefits, no 401k, no job security. On the other hand, lots of great teachers juggle a few classes a week while keeping their regular jobs.
