Hi Loves,
Our acro & yoga retreat was AMAZING!!! From the bottom of our hearts, James and I are so so grateful to have shared this experience with you. Thank you for saying YES to the adventure, (even though some of you got WAY more adventure than you bargained for…) You inspired us so much with your willingness, positive attitudes and just overall amazing vibes. We can NOT wait for the next one!!!
At our 200hr yoga teacher training we do our best to prepare our students for teaching yoga in the real world after they leave us. Part of this is learning how to effectively use social media to help promote yoga classes, retreats, workshops and events. Like it or not, instagram is a HUGE part of growing your yoga brand and helping you succeed. In fact, 85% of our students have found us on instagram. The HUGE majority of our students decide to book a teacher training and join us for a month in Nicaragua just based off of what they’ve seen on instagram.
Social media is an amazing way to connect with your audience and future students and clients. Using social media effectively will help you build rapport, trust and confidence with people from all around the world.
We’ve put together a digital version of our social media training for you to have. It includes tutorials on how to take great photos on your phone, no photo equipment needed. Lauren also created 1-click mobile presets so that you can have a gorgeous looking feed and grow your social media following quickly.
Now you have all the tools you need to excel on Instagram. If you’ve already taken training with us, we hope this was a great and up to date refresher for you.
We can’t wait to see what you come up with! Please tag us in your photos and tag @laurenrudick when you use the presets so we can see what you’re up to! We love following your journeys.
Thanks for being here.

We recently moved to a new YTT space in Nicaragua. Why? We wanted more space. We wanted a safer place. We wanted more private beaches, more epic sunsets and most of all, we wanted to make a bigger impact on the local community.
At our new retreat center, we are able to do just that! Nicaragua is a stunning and peaceful country in the heart of Central America. The people are warm and friendly and the beaches are pristine. The moment we arrived at Playa Maderas we knew we had found it.
Our YTTs continue to fill up quickly! Our team is stronger than ever and the education continues to lead the way in the yoga world. Put simply, Yoga Academy International is rising to a new standard of education in yoga and we could not be prouder.
Check out these video highlights from our latest training. Then scroll down for photos of our new yoga teacher training spot, the food our amazing chef’s prepare and some of what we get up to at our amazing yoga teacher trainings!
Hey Yogis!
WHAT IS YOUR YOGI MONEY STORY?
In this video I’m talking about the majorly taboo subject that no one in yoga wants to talk about: MONEY.
Why aren’t yoga teachers allowed to talk about what they earn? How come we aren’t given permission to want to earn a good living for our good work? Why do yoga teachers take a vow of poverty? WHY do we devalue and undersell ourselves so much!?
This conversation was a hard one to have. I was afraid that people would find me greedy or arrogant if I spoke about making money in yoga. I talk about our money stories as yogis. I also talk about changing our mindset about earning for our great work in yoga. Let me know if this video has an impact on you!
Did you get a reaction out of it?
Has this started you thinking about the way you think about and use money in your life?
