This week on the podcast I am joined by Hope Zvara. Hope is a yoga teacher, a motivational speaker, a best selling author, a yoga studio owner, the CEO of Mother Trucker Yoga, and so much more. On this episode of the podcast, Hope and I talk about how yoga pulled her out of a dark place personally, how she started teaching yoga, and what inspired her to open a yoga studio. We also dive into knowing your value as a yoga teacher, and why the money side of yoga is important. Of course, Hope and I dive into the business lessons she's learned through owning a yoga studio, as well as how she's been able to take her yoga business online and tips for people who want to do the same.
This episode was super fun to record and is jam-packed with valuable information!
Enjoy!

This episode is brought to you in part by OfferingTree. When you’re a yoga teacher and you’re trying to build your digital presence it can be daunting. First, you might need a website. There are a lot of great tools for building websites like Wordpress, Wix, and Squarespace. Then you need a way to email your students. Again there are tools for that like mail chimp and constant contact. But that’s another account to pay for and a password to remember. Then you need a way to schedule and register your students. Again there are tools for that, but it’s another account to create and pay for and another password to remember. Oh wait, how do I integrate my scheduling tool with my website… Arghhhh!
