Have you struggled with the balance between spirituality and business? Do you wonder how you can be a yogi, yet still be a successful business owner? Sometimes finding the balance between humility and business can be difficult, and Reno Muenz has found that balance.

Reno is the founder of The Dharma Temple in Vancouver. He is a successful business owner, and teacher of kundalini and meditation. During the episode, Reno says “The world doesn’t need more people who can do the splits. The world needs more people who love and forgive themselves”, and this sums up what this episode is all about.

We discuss the concept of learning + teaching yoga, setting up a daily self-practice, the importance of going deeper than the physical practice, and finding balance between your spirituality and your business.

Enjoy! Business Lessons:

• Find a teacher that you want to study with and study until you are ready to teach
• A student has to initiate themselves
• You should love yoga so much that you want to share the experience with others
• Personal practice is key to being a better overall person (yogi, teacher, business owner, etc.)
• Strength and flexibility are surface level – we must dig deeper
• 4 components to a yoga practice that will allow you to be successful
  • It’s important to have a strong nervous system – most people have a shot nervous system
  • Balance the glandular system
  • Activate the 3rd eye (neutral mind)
  • Devotion – state of devotion and the ability to surrender to something greater
• Happiness must come from inside
• The world needs more people who love and forgive themselves, not more people who can do the splits
• Kundalini is a practice that will allow you to go deeper
