Building a Path That Moves

When I began teaching, I started small—drop-in classes, then supporting retreats, eventually offering workshops. Over time, I accumulated over 1,000 hours of training and began writing my own yoga manuals. This marked the beginning of leading teacher trainings. I saw a pattern: many teachers, like myself, were deeply passionate about the practice but overwhelmed by the business side of it. So I stepped into a new role—mentoring other yoga teachers to find that elusive balance between personal practice, professional growth, and business sustainability.

Owning My Yoga Business

In my early 30s, I realized I needed something that was mine—something I could carry with me no matter where I lived. I created a simple website, not with much to offer at first, but with the intention of creating space I owned. As a frequent traveler, this felt like anchoring my work to something stable.

Growing with Intention

To scale, I began creating free content online to build visibility. My first online course only had two sign-ups, but I kept going. During COVID, online classes picked up. I then proposed a collaboration with the studio I worked at—they provided the space, and I brought the trainings. That partnership led me to create my own online programs and mentorships for yoga teachers. Today, I guide others on their path to building fulfilling, sustainable yoga careers.

Lessons I've Learned

I've learned to give myself permission to make mistakes. It's not just about what you know, but how you use it. I've come to understand that yoga and business are not separate—they can exist in harmony. Trusting what's in your heart, while building a business with intention, is the key to making it both sustainable and fulfilling.

My Message to Founders

Study business. Truly—my life would have been so much easier had I started earlier. Make peace with your vision. If your heart tells you it's the right path, and you feel at peace with the journey ahead, then go allin. Prepare, ground yourself, and take the leap.

To all yoga teachers: Own your mistakes, your doubts, your fears. They're not weaknesses—they are the most powerful tools you have to support others.

Business Takeaways from Anchor Yourself

Create something that's yours—whether it's a website, a brand, or a message you carry with you.

Start Small, Stay Real

Your first offering doesn't need to be perfect. Just begin and stay consistent.

Value of Partnership

Sometimes growth comes from aligned collaborations. Don't hesitate to propose win-win solutions.

Mentorship Matters

Support from someone further on the path can help you navigate the messy middle of yoga entrepreneurship.

Business Takeaways

  • How did you set up your yoga business In my early 30s, I decided I wanted to take ownership of my path in yoga. I didn’t want to find myself at 40 handing out resumes at yoga studios every time I moved to a new place which I tend to do often. So I created a simple website, with not much to offer at first, but with the intention of having a space that was mine and that I could carry with me wherever I went.
  • How did you scale your yoga business I started by creating a lot of free online content to make myself visible. I launched a course in English that only sold two spots, while still teaching at a studio. When COVID hit, more students started joining my online classes. I then proposed a partnership to the studio: I’d bring the trainings, and they’d provide the space. That led me to creating my own online trainings and mentorships to support yoga teachers on their professional journey.
  • What have you learned — as a person and a business owner I’ve learned to allow myself to make mistakes. That it’s not just about the content, but how you apply it. That yoga and business can coexist in a respectful, aligned way. And that only when you truly trust yourself and what’s in your heart, you can build a sustainable, abundant yoga business (because you will need a bussines mind to support your company).
