This week on the podcast we’re doing something a little bit different! I am joined by DJ Taz Rashid who works in the yoga and wellness space creating music and playlists for yoga classes and yoga events.
Not only does DJ Taz share how he has successfully created his business, and some of his top business lessons, he also shares how using music can elevate your yoga business. Of course, not everyone likes to play music in their yoga classes and that is fine, but if you do, you can do it in a way that makes the experience for the student even better. DJ Taz shares how to create an intention and experience for the class using music, as well as how to allow music to be a solid part of your yoga brand. Taz also shares tips for creating a great playlist, how to choose great music, and more.
Enjoy!

Have you ever opened the doors to your yoga class only to see very few people walk through the door? Have you ever seen a drop off in numbers, with once regular customers now nowhere to be seen? The problem may be within how you are marketing your business. You see, if you want to attract new members to your yoga class, you do need to make an effort with your marketing, and once you have members, you need to continue marketing your class to them, especially when they have been absent a couple of times.

No matter how grounded, present and mindful you are… time can often feel like it’s slipping away at a rapid pace; indeed time can often feel in short supply, particularly if you are juggling running or setting up a business with looking after a family.
As a culture, people seem to be more time starved than ever before, and we all feel the need to be doing much more than we used to – and perhaps, today, we have more to do, for example just a decade ago, you would not have been glued to social media posting in order to promote your yoga business.

A couple weeks ago, I had someone email in asking about how to build great relationships with studio owners, and how to leave situations that are negative or are not serving us anymore. This person continued to tell me that they are at a studio where they don’t feel that they are being treated kindly, and personally, I am tired of hearing this. It is not okay for yoga teachers to just sit back and allow ourselves to be treated badly!
On this episode of the podcast, I talk about:
- What to look for in a studio
- How to build great relationships with studio owners
- Why we need to respect ourselves as yoga teachers
- How to find a great mentor
- The importance of finding a space to teach that is a good fit for us and the studio owner
- How to leave situations that are difficult
- How to deal with negative feedback
- The importance of being a great yoga teacher and respecting the studio owner
- And much more… Here’s the episode!
