This week on the podcast I am joined by Maryam Sharifzadeh, who is the CEO of Office Yoga!
Maryam joined me on the podcast back in the summer of 2019 and we talked all about how to create a successful corporate yoga business. Now that the world has pivoted online, we have to wonder “what is office yoga without an office?”.
Maryam is back on the show to tell you how she pivoted her business and how she now has more demand than ever! We also discuss how to be a conscious business owner in 2021 and how to use our businesses as a force for good in the world.
