Business Lessons:

  • Look at what’s happening right in front of you, and not always looking just from the textbook
  • Sometimes you need to look at a pose with a creative pose, instead of just looking at how it was traditionally done
  • Teach as much as you can as a new teacher
  • Explore with your sequences, and find new ways to get into poses
  • Encourage people to feel the places where they are tight and tense, and then help them to loosen them
  • Private yoga can be rewarding + financially fruitful
  • Owning a yoga studio can be one of those things that we romanticize – it’s actually a lot of work!
  • Sometimes the best yoga studios are run by people who have nothing to do with yoga
  • It’s important to be on the same page as the teachers + studio owners that you work with
  • You only have so much energy, and you need to choose where you are going to expend your energy
  • Working one on one with the body is a great experience as a teacher
  • Don’t give up your group classes – they are a great way to meet new private clients
  • Get off your mat + offer adjustments to students in your class to let them know that you want to teach them, and not simply lead them
  • Show your students that you are there for them!
  • Teach to real people – understand what’s happening in the average person’s body
  • Teach as much as you can in all types of venues to get as much experience as you can
  • And much more… Here’s the episode!
