Hi Steve, I've definitely seen some interest from other RVers/campers. The biggest obstacles I see it getting the campground to go along with it (especially if you are there for a short period of time) and getting the word out so people show up. I've thought about the best route to go with campground yoga (should I actually get certified) and wonder if campgrounds would be more comfortable treating me as a "work camper" meaning my 'classes' would be free but my campsite cost would be free or reduced (I've seen CG that offer free water aerobics). Or if they wouldn't mind a camper "marketing" themselves. In our travels we've seen places with strict "no selling" rules (including services) as well as those that allow any and all kinds of profit making (from yard sales to RV repairs and firewood).

But, I kinda feel that offering yoga on a 'donation' payment would be best for most campgrounds. Of course, it will depend on the areas you go to and the types of CG you find yourself at. Currently, we are in Moab where everyone is fit and the CG is actually a pricey 'resort'. The "clients'" here might not flinch at a $5-8 fee (the local studio only charges $10 and it's less than three miles down the road) for some pre-mountain biking yoga or a restorative class after a day of bouldering. However, if and when you find yourself in the traditional CG filled with older people you might have to entice them with a one-time free class or donation based classes.

I'm looking to get certified this fall, mainly for my self but also to "legally" be able to help friends I meet on the road. I imagine with enough self promotion and pre-planning you might even be able to score some "guest" teaching spots if there are any studios nearby. I'd be interested in your ideas too.

Contact me when you have time, I am a teacher who is going on the road with my wife and hope to bring Yoga to RV parks when we are there during our 6 month full time trip. I would love to hear about your ideas and whether you see people in your travels who have expressed interest in learning about Yoga while they enjoy the great adventure of the RV life.

Thanks Robin! I have one or two photos of him "doing yoga" too. Look out for them in future posts.

So glad to hear you're going to start up again. something about yoga seems to hand in hand with RVing. I'm about to check out a studio here in the Panama City Beach area today. =)

We spent a little time in Bardstown this past fall and loved it! Thanks for the yoga post. You have helped to kick me in the butt and get my practice started once again.

Thanks Betsy. I didn't know your shoulder was giving you trouble. Hopefully it will heal up quickly. Yoga is my love and I enjoy hearing my friends giving it a try. Maybe in the fall we can go to a class together (I might be back in the area for a month or so).
