Why This Work Matters

Let’s be honest: neither teachers nor studios can thrive without each other and they can certainly not thrive without clarity on a few fundamental points. I learned this the expensive way—aside from investments in over 1500 hours of yoga trainings, I spent tens of thousands of dollars in paying business and marketing coaches, web designers, copy writers, expensive digital business platforms, tech stacks that I didn’t need —and still stuck in the same cycle because no one told me the truth: I wasn’t ready. I didn’t know who I was, who I served, or what I was actually building.

This is the first step.

For teachers, it’s the difference between barely covering bills and building a business that scales. For studios, it’s the unlock: when teachers grow intentionally, your retention, revenue, and community loyalty grow with them.

For YTT Directors: This is a non‑negotiable module. Graduate teachers with business clarity baked in—or graduate burnout.

Let’s be clear: yoga and fitness teachers cannot create long-term financial stability—or true growth—by piecing together an income from class pay alone. And studios cannot simply raise rates or salaries without risking their own sustainability. The path forward is partnership: teachers building scalable businesses, and studios supporting them in that growth—which is exactly why the YOU | WHO | WHAT Business Workshop is the solution.
