50-Hour The Business of Yoga

The 50-Hour The Business of Yoga is a yoga teacher training for yoga teachers and wellness professionals who want to turn their ideas into a clear, authentic and sustainable business. It is led by Irene Alda at Suryalila Yoga Retreat Centre in Andalusia, Spain, and suits people just starting out as well as those ready for a fresh direction.

What to Expect

This is a practical, hands-on training. Rather than theory alone, the 50 hours are built around exercises and shared learning, so you work on your own offering alongside other teachers and practitioners.

The topics cover the main parts of building a teaching or wellness business in a way that stays true to your values and vision:

- personal branding
- business structure
- productivity
- leadership
- storytelling
- community building
- digital communication

The aim is that you leave with greater clarity, more confidence and practical tools to bring your ideas to life. Because the course welcomes both beginners and those changing direction, the work is shaped around where you are now and where you want your teaching to go.
