Studios Don’t Pay for Experience.  They Pay for Value

A free online negotiation masterclass for yoga teachers and wellness professionals who want to understand how pay, positioning, and perceived value actually work.

You’ve been teaching longer — but your pay hasn’t changed.

If you’re a yoga teacher or wellness professional who feels underpaid or undervalued, you’re not alone. Many experienced teachers are paid the same rate they earned years ago, despite deeper skill, reliability, and leadership.

This free masterclass explores why experience alone doesn’t increase pay — and what studios actually consider when setting compensation.

What you’ll learn in this free masterclass

In this 75-minute training, we’ll cover:

  • Why yoga studios don’t pay more for experience alone

  • What studios do pay for when determining teacher compensation

  • The difference between being skilled and being perceived as valuable

  • Why some newer yoga teachers earn higher rates than veterans

  • Common negotiation mistakes yoga teachers make — and why they backfire

  • How visibility, clarity, and leadership affect pay and opportunity

  • Why teaching longer rarely raises your earning ceiling on its own

This masterclass offers clear, grounded insight into yoga teacher pay and negotiation, without hype or false promises.

Who this is not for
