About this job
Are you teaching 3-5 classes per day, running from place to place, and earning $25 per class? Can anyone make a living if you're not yet a yoga rock star?
Oh, yes, and a very good living indeed!
For 9 years, I have built up Beach Yoga with Brad, on Santa Monica Beach, and teaching ONE class/day, 6 days a week, my annual income is > $54,000. That's over $1000/week, on average. How does that compare with what you are earning, and what your earning potential is for the next 10-20 years?
I'm the Brad of Beach Yoga with Brad, I am preparing for retirement, and I am ready to sell the business. For most of this time, I've been the only teacher, teaching one class/day. If you have business instincts and skills, you can hire up to 5 other teachers, dramatically increasing your income.
Beach Yoga with Brad has a great track record:

FAQ:
Q: Why can’t I just start my own beach yoga class?
A: You surely can, but consider this:
1. You have no clientele yet.
2. You’d have Beach Yoga with Brad and Friends as the competition.
3. You won’t start off with an average of $1000 of income per week. This business is running at its peak from the moment you own it.
4. You’d miss out on a 5* Yelp rating, and 5* on Facebook.
5. You’d miss out on 7400 “likes” on the Beach Yoga with Brad Facebook page who you can immediately communicate with.
6. You'd miss out on being the top hit on Google, Bing, Yahoo, Facebook, and Yelp searches.
Q: Why is this better than a traditional, brick and mortar yoga studio?
A : 1. You aren’t saddled with a lease.
2. You don’t have to invest in the physical studio: carpets, painting, rest rooms, heating, A/C, repairs, lights, supplies, utilities, phone lines, wifi, security, props.
3. You don’t need a retail business (yoga clothes, props, jewelry, books, videos, etc.) in addition to classes. No inventories, no stock, no theft, no sales, no retail managers, no staff needed.
4. You’d be the ONLY Beach Yoga in town. Totally different profile from the dozens of other yoga studios in the greater Los Angeles area. A brick and mortar yoga studio is essentially just another version of Yoga Works. You are the same as every other brick-and-mortar studio when it comes right down to it. And you won’t be getting contacted by potential clients from all over the world to come inside a brick and mortar yoga studio.
5. Advantages: no building upkeep, no maintenance costs; no utilities, no utility bills; totally unlimited space, multiple location possibilities, fresh air all the time, exquisite location. Different teachers can be on different parts of Santa Monica Beach at the same time, including the options for private sessions.
Salary: $54,000.00 /year
