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!
Enjoy!

This week on the podcast I am joined once again by Sytera Field. When Sytera joined me on the podcast back in 2016, she was only teaching private yoga. In 2018, she opened her studio, SyteraYoga, and hasn’t looked by since then.
On this episode, we talk about what has shifted for Sytera’s business over the last 1.5 years, what she has learned as a yoga studio owner and more. We also talk about her latest endeavor, which is developing the Nadi Ball and the Nadi & Nice method of body rolling. After many years of teaching yoga with massage balls, Sytera decided to develop her own, and she also shares the long and challenging process of developing your own product, including the business lessons she’s learned along the way.
Enjoy!
