Josh & Jenna’s yoga journey started with practicing Bikram Yoga, and their passion for the practice led them to own a studio in Red Deer, AB. After owning the studio for a number of years, they decided to take their life, their kids and their business on the road. They sold their yoga studio and began building an online business where they teach yoga teachers and yoga studio owners how to run successful businesses.

On this episode of the podcast, we talk about tips for owning a successful yoga studio, how to get yoga teacher jobs while traveling, the importance of getting paid for what you do, and how to sell your products and services as a studio or teacher. Josh and Jenna have a lot of experience with the business of yoga and we dive deep into the business of both owning a successful yoga studio and being a successful + sustainable yoga teacher.

Enjoy!
