Which cities have the most yoga teaching opportunities?

In the studios we researched, fragmented independent metros (Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto, Montreal) have the most separate employers and the most doors to knock on. Consolidated metros like Denver and Austin have fewer employers, but landing one multi-location brand can mean classes across several studios.

What yoga style is most in demand at studios?

Vinyasa is the baseline almost everywhere (about 80% of studios). After that it varies by region: North America also rewards hot/heated, while the destination circuit in Asia-Pacific and Latin America over-indexes on Hatha, Yin, meditation, breathwork, and sound.

For teachers: what the studio landscape actually looks like

Based on a curated, researched sample of 301 independent studios across 32 cities and 9 countries. This is a strong sample of the independent scene, not a census of every studio.

Where the studios are

North America is 56% of the sample and behaves like a job market (salaried and per-class roles, ClassPass, software-run schedules). Asia-Pacific (26%) and Latin America (16%) are the seasonal, relationship-based destination circuit.

Who is hiring

Independent-dense metros (Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto, Montreal) have many small employers. Consolidated metros (Denver, Austin) have a few multi-location brands where one hire can mean classes across several studios.

Styles by region

Vinyasa is the baseline everywhere. North America also rewards hot/heated; the destination circuit rewards Hatha, Yin, Ashtanga, meditation, breathwork, and sound.
