This week on the podcast I am joined by Kaya Mindlin. Kaya has been teaching yoga for 18 years, and on this episode she shares how she created a small, but mighty and successful, yoga business.
There is so much pressure these days to build your list, do ads on social media, teach anything and everything that you are given the opportunity to do, serve everyone, give away freebies and hope that some day someone will engage with you. And this has it's place... but it's not a fit for every yoga teacher.
In Kaya's business, she dug a well with a small but incredibly committed number of yoga teachers, and she's had a successful private practice of yoga therapy clients and students, yoga teachers who train with her, and a yoga studio in the Bay Area. She was the main breadwinner in her family for a chunk of those years, and on this episode she's sharing how she did and how you can too!
Kaya also shares why and how she transferred her business online, what that process has taught her, and some of the biggest business lessons she's learned through her career.
Enjoy!

Are you a studio owner that’s working 16-18 hour days but still struggling to grow? OR Are you a well established studio with healthy monthly revenue, but membership growth has plateaued?
If either of these sound like you, I've got the perfect solution... Most studio owners get marketing all WRONG!!
Tell me if this sounds familiar, you're writing blogs, posting daily on all the social media sites, sending out email newsletters, blah blah blah…
While these activities might get you a new member or two EVENTUALLY, it will take months or even years before they payoff.
You need new members today…
Starting in July, Ron Medlin owner of the Rebel of Growth, an agency that focuses specifically on helping yoga studios grow memberships, Is hosting the 30 Members In 30 Days Challenge where he'll show you How to Add 30 New members to your studio in the next 30 Days.
You’ll leave this challenge having everything you need to drive people through your doors and turn them into long-term members starting day one.
So if you're ready to STOP WORKING YOURSELF to death doing busy work that will not grow your studio and start bringing new students in your door starting today. Join the challenge at www.rebelofgrowth.com/challenge.
