Welcome to Yoga Business Bootcamp – a 12 series podcast all about how to build a successful yoga business!
This podcast will take you through how to create your dream job, build an amazing resume, get a teaching job at a yoga studio, and how to expand your offerings to make more money and become more sustainable as a yoga teacher.
On this episode, we’re talking about selling yourself! This is a SUPER important topic to cover, because so many yoga teachers are terrified of selling themselves. In reality, we are constantly selling our teaching and our services, without really even realizing it.
On this episode, we’ll break down why selling isn’t really icky (or at least, how it doesn’t have to be icky!), as well as talk about ways to sell yourself and your services authentically and organically.

Justin Cooper is a personal trainer, yoga teacher, the host of the Kula Wellness podcast, and the co-founder of Kula Wellness. Justin came to yoga while working in the restaurant industry and his passion for health and wellness took him in the direction of doing a masters of holistic counselling and psychology. He dove into the program, and started doing personal training. His personal training business picked up to the point where we was able to quit his restaurant job.
Along the way, Justin realized that the masters program wasn’t what he wanted to do, so he quit that to travel SE Asia, where he took his yoga teacher training. When Justin came back from SE Asia, he dove into entrepreneurship and co-founded Kula Wellness with his partner.
On this episode of the podcast, Justin and I talk about building a successful business in your community, as well as online.
