This week on the podcast I am joined by Jessica Palmer!

Jessica is a yoga teacher and a studio owner based out of Philidelphia, PA. She is the owner of The Yogic Body, and on this episode (recorded before the pandemic), we are talking about what her first year of studio ownership has been like! Jessica shares why she decided to open a yoga studio, what the process was to actually open her yoga studio, as well the business lessons she’s learned as a studio owner!

Next week, we’ll catch up on how things have changed during this tumultuous 2020.

One note before the episode, I am thrilled to announce that I just launched a bonus podcast called M.B.Om: Behind the Scenes over on Patreon.
