This week on the podcast, I am joined by Tiffany Cruikshank. Tiffany is a world-renowned yogi and the founder of Yoga Medicine. Yoga Medicine is a teaching platform to educate yoga teachers in a blend of both eastern and western models of medicine to ultimately help clients/students treat and manage things like chronic pain and depression through yoga and meditation practices. Tiffany has a pre-med bachelor’s degree in medicinal plant biology and nutrition, a master’s degree in acupuncture and oriental medicine, and a specialty in sports medicine and orthopedics.
On this episode of the podcast, Tiffany and I talk about how she has worked to combine the eastern and western models of medicine to help serve her clients, how she has expanded her business from just in-person work to online courses and programs, as well as training programs around the world. We also talk about the Seva Foundation that she has founded, and all of the business lessons she’s learned throughout her career!

This week on the podcast I am joined by Theresa Berenato. Theresa is a corporate yoga teacher and the founder of Workspace Yogi, an online membership site. On this episode, Theresa and I talk about how her path as a yoga teacher has been unconventional in that she hasn’t taught in yoga studios. Instead, she jumped right into teaching corporate yoga classes. She built her clientele up to a point where they requested that she started offering more classes, and instead of filling her schedule more full of corporate classes, she started building her business online. Now, she offers online classes and has a private membership site for her clients.
Theresa breaks down how she was able to build a corporate yoga business and an online yoga business, tips for anyone who is looking to build an online business or membership site, and much more!
