This week on the podcast I am joined by Zahra and Chrissy from Blooming Happy Yoga. At Blooming Happy Yoga Zahra and Chrissy offer by-donation yoga classes in the park. So far, they are offering classes in Berlin, Germany and Melbourne, Australia.

On this episode of the podcast, Zahra and Chrissy share their yoga stories, what inspired them to create Blooming Happy Yoga, how they change their language and sequencing to make their all levels classes in the park feel welcoming, how to ask for donations in a way that feels authentic, the business lessons they’ve learned through creating Blooming Happy Yoga and more!

Enjoy!

     Business Lessons from this Episode:

• If you’re going to go into business with someone, you need to be clear on what you’re trying to do
• Make yoga accessible through pricing options, welcoming them to class, sequencing and cueing
• Don’t create “levels” with an accessible class – just make it an opportunity to explore your body
• Donation classes are a lot about how you say it and ask for the donations – be clear on how to pay, where to pay and what the expectations is.
• Be confident when asking for donations for your service
• The first step with creating a new business can be as simple as starting a Facebook page
• When you’re teaching yoga in a new city or country, you need to figure out when people like to practice yoga to offer classes at times that will be successful
• Not everyone is going to like what you put out there and that’s okay
• Say yes and workout how after
• Don’t wait until you think you’re ready to teach to teach, just go out and do it!
• Create opportunities so that you can get experience
• Tell people that you’re a yoga teacher!
• And much more… Here’s the episode!
