Whether it’s yoga, writing, or products; when it comes to what you’re posting every day regarding your blog, or on your business’s social media platforms; it’s crucial to keep the quantity and consistency up to a high level.

Welcome back for another episode of Yoga Business Bootcamp! This week on the podcast, we are talking about the power of investing in yourself.
As yoga teachers, we all made the big investment to take our yoga teacher training, but what have you done to invest in yourself and your business since then? I am a big proponent in investing in ourselves regularly in order to propel ourselves forward with our businesses.
Often, we get so caught up in teaching and making money, that we forget that investing in a course, continuing ed program, or business coach could actually increase our productivity and revenue tenfold. So, what have you invested in lately?
This will be the last episode of Yoga Business Bootcamp for now so that I can focus in on improving the full course and make sure that I am really offering as much value as possible. Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon!

This week on the podcast I am talking with Chris Cannon. Chris is the founder of Studio Prosperity and the host of The Studio Prosperity podcast. Chris and I had the pleasure of meeting in Mexico City and recording this in person!
On this episode, we talk about all things yoga studios and yoga business, including why it’s okay to make money and still be spiritual, why software and systems are important in your yoga studio, the relationship between the studio owner and the teacher, and why being competitive can actually harm your business instead of make it thrive.
Enjoy!
