Hi there, I have been teaching for over one year now and practising for ten years. I love teaching yoga. But my classes just aren't filling up. People tell me they enjoy them, people tell me they will come...but they don't.
There is another teacher who's class is always filled, she is probably 15 years older then me, something she is doing clicks, and something I am doing just doesn't. I'm 31 and I feel that I have found something that I do well, and want to keep doing, always evolving and improving. I have a few regulars but my classes are never full. It's hard to not get discouraged. Advice, opinions, encouragement...anything is appreciated!!

There might be many reasons. Your class may be in not convenient days or hours. People might be coming to another teacher for many years, so they want to continue with the same instructor.
There is no need to please everybody, your style is your style. It can take time and marketing to fill up classes.
Don't get discouraged; if you continue doing your job with a zest and devotion, the success will come. And success is not always a full room but people whom you can help and inspire.
