We talk about everything from managing a yoga studio, running retreats, to social media, and how to do it all while being your authentic self.

Business Lessons

• Try, try again – you can always try a pose in a different way
• Teach for free – you never know who will pick up what you’re putting down!
• Teach private classes as much as you can so that you can watch people’s bodies
• Show up for each individual person that is in your class
• Teach as much as you can, but stay humble in it – admit what you don’t know
• Take time to do things that aren’t yoga
• Always be a “yay” for teaching yoga!
• There is a difference between loving the practice of yoga and teaching yoga
• Allow your career to grow organically
• If you want to own a yoga studio, you need to have a business mind OR you need to find someone to do that for you
• Taxes are a real thing when you are a studio owner and a yoga teacher
• Allow retreats to come organically and find a place that you truly love
• You can never make everyone happy!
• Be yourself on social media
• Everything in moderation
• And much more… Here’s the episode!
