This week on the show we are talking email!
Why is an email essential for your business? Because it is one of very few ways left to talk directly to your students.
Think about your own experience of scrolling on Instagram or Facebook. When was the last time you stopped and read a long post?
When we log onto social media we are inundated with shiny distractions. When trying to share our message, we are competing against notifications, photos, stories, and messages. More than that, our ability to speak to our students is at the whim of social media companies algorithms. With email, you have a direct method to share a message with the people who need to hear it.
So in this episode I am doing a deep dive into building an email list. From what software to use to how to build and grow your list, we’ll cover the basics so you feel confident and conformable starting or growing your email list!
Enjoy!

Punchpass is one of my favorite software programs for yoga businesses and over the last few weeks, I’ve been chatting with the team about how things have been going for the studios that they work with. Well, things have been going great!
On this episode, Victoria shares some of the success stories from yoga studios that they work with and shares how these studios have been successful taking their businesses online. As you know, I work with a few yoga studios doing management and digital marketing and I share a bit of insight into the success that these studios have experienced as well.

One of the few silver linings to come out of the current lockdown is the way it’s encouraging us all to be inventive when it comes to our exercise. We’re learning and trying new home workouts. We’re learning just how much we can get done without expensive equipment. And we’re taking it upon ourselves to explore new possibilities. If you’ve always loved the idea of trying yoga but feel a little shy about joining a class, now is the perfect time to develop a grounding in yoga.
