On this episode of the podcast, I’m joined by Brytta Byers from Xanadu Yoga. Brytta is a traveling yoga teacher, who is currently based in Chicago.

Brytta came to yoga from an acting background, and fell in love with teaching in Greece. Since then, she has combined her love of yoga and travel and formed her company Xanadu Yoga, where she helps yoga teachers get jobs teaching around the world. She has taught and studied yoga around the world, traveling to Ireland, Greece, Aruba, and many other places. Brytta is passionate about helping refugees, and she also just helped a yoga studio open in Chicago, called Studios FUZE.

On this episode, Brytta shares about her love of travel and yoga, tips for getting an international teaching job, what it’s like to teach yoga to refugees, what she’s learned through helping open a yoga studio, and more.

Enjoy!

Business Lessons from this Episode: 

  • When you meet people, stay in contact because you never know how they can help you down the road or how you can work together
  • Work Away is a great resource for finding traveling teaching gigs
  • Talk yourself up and be passionate about what you offer
  • Just go for it – don’t be afraid!
  • Always say “yes” to opportunities because you never know where something might lead
  • You have to be able to market yourself as a yoga teacher
  • You also need to have other skills that you can offer people
  • We need to know how to build websites, do social media, etc. so that we can sell ourselves as a package
  • Having an online community allows you to find people that are really like-minded
  • Teaching yoga to refugees is a challenging, but rewarding thing to do
  • If you want to travel and teach, you need to just dive deep – it’s always going to be scary and you just need to go for it!
  • And much more… Here’s the episode!
