Fun fact: a *lot* of yoga teachers are on Medicaid due to the nature of their employment opportunities. Seriously: Some of your favorite teachers at your FAVORITE yoga studios.
So as not to publicly shame the studios with teachers on Medicare, Iâve redacted the studio names. But:
For a 1 hour class: a teacher with ~5 years experience receives between $35-$55 a classâ this entails an hour long commute, two hours of class prep minimum, and the class itself. $8.75-$13.75 an hour.
For a teacher with 20 years experience? $55-$85 â thatâs $13.75-21.25 an hour, with a maximum class cap per day of 4 (very, very high due to a maximum earning potential based on ability to commute and score gigs).
Are these livable wages? Discuss.
