Update

I now have 5 students signed up for my classes in Winnie. Classes start in 10 days, my original goal was to get 30 people signed up.

I will not be going to Houston to teach any classes. I got a job at Exygon, so I am going to teach classes there. Working for a gym is not really my ideal class setting. I am not thrilled about how their classes are set up, but I have to keep the bills paid.

A friend of mine from school, Laurie, and I are planning on doing weekend workshops. Hopefully after we get those going good I will be able to leave the gym. Then I will be doing something I truly love.

My Classes

I have yoga classes starting October 19th at the Texas Health and Fitness in Winnie. Starting tomorrow, and every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday until then I will be giving free introductory lectures about the yoga classes I will be teaching. My classes in Winnie will all be early morning and late evening classes.

I am also going to Houston tomorrow. I am going to go from gym to gym trying to get some classes during the middle of the day. I figure if I could get 3 classes a day, either 2 or 3 days a week it would be worth my drive to Houston.

My classes in Winnie I am in complete control of, I rent the space in the gym, I make my own lesson plans, I decide what I teach, when I will teach it, and how I will teach it. I will manage all of the student enrollment and finances. It is basically like having my own studio, only I just rent space in a gym.

The classes I am looking for in Houston will be at large gyms that have their yoga classes already set up. I will be looking to go in, teach my class and leave. If I get some of these classes I think I will be able to make this work without having to get a second job.
