In this episode, I reconnect with Sarah Taylor, a fellow yoga teacher I worked with while leading 200-hour Yoga Teacher Trainings in the Peruvian jungle. Now she is based in Lima, Sarah shares what it’s like to teach yoga full time in Peru’s bustling capital.
We talk about her transition from the serene jungle to a growing urban yoga scene, how she’s taught 10 teacher trainings since moving to Peru, and why diversifying income streams is essential for long-term success as a yoga teacher. Sarah opens up about the evolving yoga culture in Lima, and the role continuing education plays in both her career and the wider community.
If you’ve ever dreamed of teaching yoga abroad, running retreats, or building a sustainable yoga career, Sarah’s story is full of practical advice and inspiration, plus a reminder that sometimes the best opportunities come when you’re brave enough to ask.
