Yoga Teachers & Studio Founders

Palm Springs Is a Place to Practice—And to Stay

A City Where Yoga Is Integrated Into Daily Life

Palm Springs is not a place where yoga needs to be explained, marketed, or trend-chased.

It’s already part of the culture.

For yoga teachers and studio founders who value consistency, integrity, and long-term relationships with students, Palm Springs offers something increasingly rare: a community where yoga is practiced as a discipline, not a performance.

Who This Is For

Palm Springs actively welcomes:

• Experienced yoga teachers seeking stable teaching schedules

• Teachers rooted in specific lineages or methodologies

• Instructors transitioning from burnout-heavy markets

• Studio founders interested in sustainable, boutique models

• Teachers who value community over constant growth

If your work prioritizes presence, precision, and care, Palm Springs aligns naturally.

Estimated Income & Teaching Potential

Yoga income varies widely, but Palm Springs supports consistent demand and strong retention, especially for teachers who commit to the community.

Typical ranges:

• Independent Teachers (multi-studio / private clients):
  ~$55,000 – $95,000+ annually
  
  

• Established Teachers with Private Clients or Specialty Classes:
  ~$80,000 – $140,000+ annually
  
  

• Studio Owners / Co-Founders:
  ~$100,000 – $250,000+ depending on scale, programming, and offerings

The advantage here is not volume—it’s repeat students and longevity.
