FOR YOGA STUDIO OWNERS…Post Covid Survival

Fellow studio owners, Today I worked on projections for Elemental OM for the SBA with much care.  The result is what I believe to be a great worksheet for you to use which you can drop your own numbers into to see what investment you will be making back in your studio with social distancing […]

Disaster Relief for Yogis in Ohio

Small business owners in Ohio.  My heart is with you as we too were forced to close.  I know it is such a tough time. Most small businesses have cash flow for about 6 weeks out if they are lucky and that is it.  I wanted to share with you all the forms you can […]

Email Marketing, The Yoga of Business, the Busyness of Yoga

Face it.  You are a start-up.  You are a one man show.  You are in a cut-throat competitive spiritual environment that is under priced and over served.  That means that you don’t have any cash flow to waste on marketing and you have a ton of competition.  The key word here is “waste”  not “marketing.”  […]

How to Stand Out in a Sea of Healers, The Yoga of Business, the Busyness of Yoga

I got a great question yesterday from a woman who is a massage therapist and is having a tough time building her business in a very competitive market.  It seems that there is a massage therapist on every corner now, not to mention discounted chains like Massage Envy are wreaking havoc on the individual massage […]

Partnering “UP”, Yoga of Business, Busyness of Yoga

The only partnering worth doing when you are a start up is partnering “up.”  Here is another blog of “do as I say, not as I do.”  When you partner “down”, you tend to lose unless you are partnered with someone who understands partnering “up” and most folks just don’t get it..  So what’s the […]

Transitioning To a New City and New Focus, The Yoga of Business, the Busyness of Yoga

I received a question yesterday from a wonderful healer, Charmain Redwood, who recently moved to Cincinnati from another state.  She specializes in hypnotherapy and has a passion for singing bowls.  Charmain’s story is fascinating.  She crossed over to the other side and brought back certain gifts that she employs to connect you deeply and intimately […]

When to Work/When to Rest and Salary Expectations, The Yoga of Business

Let it first be known that I work an insane amount of hours each week.  I work so much that at one point I went to a psychic friend for counseling.  I wanted to know the timing of when this insane drive of mine would finally slow down.  He  laughed and explained my insane drive […]

Are You Human or Are You Leader?…The Business of Yoga

This is from the Siri Guru Granth reflecting on the qualities of a leader: “You are beautiful when you don’t speak. When you do speak, speak wisely. Your job is to elevate others. It is not their job to elevate you.” I found this message written down in one of my many journals.  It’s a […]

Pricing Your Yoga Classes…yoga studio strategy

“Itarashtam tithar kashtam” Empty handed you come, empty handed you go.  It is a law which should never be broke. So yesterday I posted about Groupon in response to a blog on YogaDork.  It put me in the thread of comments and I was really surprised to not only see the lack of Ahimsa (non-violence) […]
