Although YogaBellies gives you all of the benefits of a franchise, we don’t take a percentage of your earnings, all we ask is for a minimal monthly fee to cover your extensive marketing and admin support, depending which path you choose.

Can I just do stand-alone training, I don't want to purchase a complete business?

We only offer YogaBellies Teacher Training as part of our franchise packages.

We keep in constant contact with all of our teachers, offering advice, guidance and development on all their teaching practice and on their business growth.

I have been teaching yoga for five years already and have my own regular classes, can I add YogaBellies classes on to that?

Yes absolutely, and many of our teachers do. So for example, if you have Jane’s Yoga set up as your trading name, then you can purchase a YogaBellies business to supplement your existing classes. You can market them as YogaBellies for Pregnancy@ Jane’s Yoga for example. Joining YogaBellies will benefit all of your classes, as you will gain credibility, exposure and ethical business acumen to apply to your other businesses.

Alternatively, if you wish to offer soley own brand classes with no franchise or tie in, request information on our stand alone yoga for women teacher training.

What Qualified Yoga Teachers have said about Joining YogaBellies…

Upon joining Yogabellies, you will never look back…. Built on good values… You are taken on a journey of self discovery…. as well as being part of a wonderful family of amazingly strong & supportive woman!

“I definitely think that Yogabellies is great value for money… Everything about Yogabellies is unique….. From the lovely founder
Cheryl (beautiful, honest & extremely down to earth).. The brand, the support given & the amazing level of care to all teachers
(& our mummies, babies & kidz)

“I think joining YogaBellies was a very good decision for me as a yoga teacher. I like having YogaBellies as part of my business and to be honest I love the name and can always talk about it when I speak to people about what I do. The thing I love the most is the community, the access to yoga and business information, and access to the opportunities and clients it offers. I also enjoyed learning to teach pregnancy and mum& baby yoga, and am enjoying teaching both more than I realised I would. I really enjoyed the training, the studio is great venue, and I felt well looked after well by the enthusiastic and vibrant Cheryl, lots of info given during the training and good support afterwards. Cheryl and Mary frances are always available to answer queries and it’s great having a community of like-minded teachers to run any worries or concerns by via YogaBellies intranet or email. It has certainly helped me get the classes up and running and know it is now my marketing effort that will make it a success or otherwise!” – Dr. Pam Medhurst RYT CYT, Pam Medhurst Yoga

My yoga journey has taken me on many paths… from pre-school, primary & teen yoga & energy therapy classes to adult Hatha classes! Having had 7 pregnancies in the last 10 years (I have 6 little folk) … Yoga has been my strength…. It felt natural to me to gain a qualification to teach ladies at this precious time in their lives…. I asked the universe… & along came Yogabellies….:-) I had no idea just how much I would get out of it…. Every day I am learning & teaching, learning & teaching! (Yogabellies is truly awesome!) x” – Siobhan Hencher, RYT 200 CYT

“YogaBellies is actually brilliant value for money. There is so much more to YogaBellies than just a training package and there is something for everyone to expand on your current experience/background/training. As well as being value for money, I wanted the community. Ever since joining YogaBellies it has felt like I have joined an extended family not just a training programme. Whereas I trained for my 200hr certification and then was left to it, YogaBellies make sure teachers have someone to talk to, be it about class plans, something they feel they missed or didn’t quite understand in training or for a general chat to get something off your chest that only another Yoga teacher would really get! Sounds silly as nothing/no one can be 100% perfect, but YogaBellies is an expanding, evolving company and I feel I joined at a great time to see positive changes/improvements. I had bookings in place before I even completed the YogaBellies training course!!” – Rachael Montgomery RYT CYT, Anahata Yoga
