 Industry

What UK studios are paying yoga teachers in 2026.

What members say about the weekly.

The MTD piece arrived two weeks before my accountant raised it. By the time we spoke I'd already opened a HMRC-compliant ledger. That single email saved me a panic in 2027.

I read it Thursday over coffee. It's the only industry email I don't archive. Most of the rest sounds like content marketing; this sounds like someone who actually runs a professional body.

The standards pieces are why I send my graduates straight to YogaPros. The line you hold on live-contact hours is the line our training holds. It matters that someone is saying it.

From the founder

The professional body's job is to see what's coming.

Most yoga teachers are too busy teaching. That's why we send the weekly. We watch the field (the regulatory shifts, the studio movements, the standards conversations) and surface what working teachers actually need to know. Edited by named writers. No filler. The longer view, in a Thursday-morning email.
