Business Lessons

  • Have a mentor – someone who can guide you and help you through your yoga journey
  • Get exposure to all sorts of different studios, audiences, and people
  • Be careful who you get into business with – owning a yoga studio is a business!
  • If you’re buying someone else’s business, know what you’re getting yourself into
  • Know the city and market that you’re opening a yoga studio in
  • Be realistic about whether or not your studio can survive in your market & set yourself up for success
  • Have a good lawyer who can read all of your paper work (all of it!)
  • Use people you know to help you – builder, contractor, decorator, etc.
  • Have a solid team of people to help you – accountant, studio manager, web developer, graphic designer, business coach, core group of teachers that you trust
  • It’s not good enough to just be a good yoga teacher to run a good studio
  • Don’t send an email if you want to teach – show your face!
  • And much more… Here’s the episode!
