The Professional Yoga Teachers Podcast is hosted by Emily Hardeman and Zelinda Yañez. We created Professional Yoga Teachers to help bridge the gap from teacher training to professional-level yoga teaching. We offer training, support, and resources to increase professionalism in the yoga teaching community. In our combined 18 years of teaching, we have taught various styles of yoga in the classroom, in private sessions, in workshops, and also in teacher training programs. Our business experience spans yoga studio ownership, hiring and mentoring yoga teachers, and designing and running yoga teacher training programs.Our prior careers in engineering, marketing, and the legal field have given us a unique perspective on the yoga industry and have provided us with business acumen that we want to share with you. We want to help you enhance your professionalism and elevate your teaching so that you can grow a thriving and rewarding yoga teaching business.
