Help - Yoga for a living?

Hello,

I am a student of yoga, having practiced for around 6 years and its something i love.

Last year, I was made redundant from my previous officed based role. Despite 25 years of experience in my field, I havent been able to secure the same role over the last 12 months.

I am therefore giving very serious consideration towards qualifying as a yoga teacher and making this my career. If it matters, I am now 50 years old, male and based in the UK.

I wanted to reach out to this community to ask:

  1. Is it viable to make a living from yoga? How much do you think its realistic to make per year. I know money isn't everything but this is more about being able to pay the mortgage and bills.

  2. In terms of a course, id like to gauge opinions of online only.courses vs in person or hybrid courses?

  3. Thoughts re intensive shorter time frame courses vs longer (i.e. 9 months).

  4. Finally, I was considering trying to teach in person as well as starting a youtube channel. Has anyone else done this here and how viable is it to achieve?

I am really thankful for anyone willing to provide thoughts and advice.
