Yoga Teachers: How to Write a Kickass Bio

Smart, authentic bios are essential for any yoga teacher. These are used on your personal postcards, flyers and website. The studios or gyms you teach at also may ask for your bio to include on their website. I understand for many of us that it’s not easy to write about oneself. And, do you write in first person or third person? What do you include, and how much is too much?

Remember that often all a student has in order to decide whether or not they want to take your class is your personal story, your biography. It is important that you feel empowered in how you tell that story.

Try taking these steps in writing your best biography. Most of all, honor yourself in what you write. And by doing so, you honor and elevate the profession of yoga!

Step 5: YOUR TEACHERS

The best teachers remain lifelong students. Honor your teachers in your bio, those that have taught you through ease or challenge the lessons for you to now be a teacher too. Model politeness and respect, and your students will do the same for you. Karma keeps us real. And remember, teaching yoga is not a game of solitaire. You are there only because your students show up as you showed up for your teachers. Give good, get good back.
