This week on the podcast I am joined by Theresa Berenato. Theresa is a corporate yoga teacher and the founder of Workspace Yogi, an online membership site. On this episode, Theresa and I talk about how her path as a yoga teacher has been unconventional in that she hasn't taught in yoga studios. Instead, she jumped right into teaching corporate yoga classes. She built her clientele up to a point where they requested that she started offering more classes, and instead of filling her schedule more full of corporate classes, she started building her business online. Now, she offers online classes and has a private membership site for her clients.
Theresa breaks down how she was able to build a corporate yoga business and an online yoga business, tips for anyone who is looking to build an online business or membership site, and much more!
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!
