Podcasts about yoga studios

A few years ago, someone told me I needed to stop looking for the next big marketing strategy and go back to the basics and hustle.And you guys...I was offended.

If you're posting on Instagram because you know your studio should be there—but you're not quite sure whether all that posting is actually helping you get seen, build trust, or increase enrollment, this episode is for you.I'm joined by Katelyn Rhoades, Forbes-featured entrepreneur, founder and CEO of Enfluence Marketing Studio, and host of the top-ranked podcast Call Her Creator. Katelyn has grown a community of more than 350,000, built a seven-figure business from scratch, and partnered with brands including Adobe and Meta.But this conversation isn't about becoming an influencer.It's about using Instagram to grow a local studio business.We talk about what studio owners should actually be posting, how to create content that reaches the right people in your community, and why you don't have to become a full-time content creator—or even love talking to the camera—to make Instagram work for your business.And then I put Katelyn on the spot.I gave her a real-world scenario: You're a dance studio owner heading into enrollment season. What would you do on Instagram to get more students through the door?What followed was basically a mini masterclass.In this episode, we talk about:How local businesses should think differently about InstagramWhat to post when enrollment is your goalHow to create content for the people who are actually likely to buyTalking-head videos vs. Reels vs. graphics, and where each fitsWhy you don't need a massive following to make Instagram valuableHow to turn visibility into trust and, ultimately, enrollmentPractical content ideas you can start using immediatelyIf your studio is doing great work but not enough people know about it yet, this conversation will give you some incredibly practical ways to change that.Grab ⁠⁠The Visibility Vault™⁠⁠⁠ : 150+ Canva templates + done-for-you captions to help you stay consistent and get seen online.

What if one of the greatest signs of success is realizing your business doesn't need you for everything anymore?At our recent Dancing House Open House, I looked around and realized something: my team had it covered.They were answering questions, connecting with families, talking confidently about what makes our studio different—and genuinely proud of the business they represent.Nobody needed me.And instead of feeling unnecessary, I felt free.In this episode of The Visibility Podcast, we're talking about what it really takes to move from being the person who does everything to building a business that can thrive without depending on you for every decision, problem, and task.We also dig into the dangerous "get" mindset:I'll hire when I get more clients. I'll delegate when I get more time. I'll step back when I get more revenue.Sometimes the thing you're waiting to "get" requires you to make the decision first.And maybe success isn't more students, more locations, more employees or more revenue.Maybe success is building a profitable business that serves people beautifully and gives you a life.If you're feeling stuck inside the business you created, take my free Sweet Spot Assessment. In about five minutes, you'll get a bird's-eye view of what's working, where you're getting stuck, and your greatest opportunity for growth.And if you want help unpacking what you discover, book a complimentary Clarity Call with me.One question to take with you from this episode:Where are you still acting like an employee inside the business you built?Your GO-TO LINK for all things Visibility-: Google Business Profile Optimization, Your Visibility Audit, Your Rebel Woman Life Map™  and Your Sweet Spot Assessment. Love today's podcast?

What if the clarity you're waiting for doesn't come before the decision...What if it comes because of it?In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing some of the biggest decisions of my life. From leaving for New York at 18, to walking away from a marriage, rebuilding my business after hitting rock bottom, saying yes to a dream property I had no idea how I could afford, and ultimately finding the love I had been praying for.None of those moments came with certainty.None came with a roadmap.They all began the same way:I decided.If you've been waiting for more confidence, more proof, or more certainty before taking your next step, this episode is for you. We'll talk about why indecision keeps us stuck, how to recognize the difference between fear and true knowing, and why the evidence almost always comes after the decision.In this episode, you'll discover:Why waiting for clarity might be keeping you stuck.The difference between wanting something and deciding something.How to recognize the quiet voice of "knowing" over the loud voice of fear.Why every meaningful change in your life starts with one decision.How to identify your own next right step.A Question to Reflect OnWhat decision have you already made... but you keep pretending you haven't?Sit with that question.Notice what keeps coming back.Sometimes the answer isn't louder.It's quieter.And it brings peace.Ready for Your Next Right Step?If you're standing at a crossroads, in your business, your relationships, your leadership, or simply wondering what's next—I would love to help.I offer complimentary 45-minute Clarity Calls designed to help you cut through the noise, uncover what's really keeping you stuck, and leave with your next right step.

What if the next breakthrough in your business isn't another marketing strategy... but another conversation?As entrepreneurs, it's easy to believe that growth comes from doing more, posting more, emailing more, tweaking our website, or spending another afternoon behind the computer.But what if the very thing your business needs most isn't another hour at your desk?In this episode, Melissa shares a powerful lesson inspired by Brian Buffini's phrase, "Take the self out of self-employed," and explores why the most successful businesses aren't built in isolation, they're built through genuine relationships.Drawing from two recent experiences: hosting the inaugural Above the Barre dance educator conference and performing in a community dance production—Melissa reflects on where the real magic happens. Spoiler alert: it's rarely on the stage. It's in the conversations between the sessions, backstage, over coffee, and around the table.You'll also hear the story of a coaching client who came looking for more leads but left with something much more valuable: a fresh vision for growing her business by creating meaningful experiences instead of chasing more marketing tactics.In this episode, you'll discover:Why relationships are still your greatest business strategyHow meaningful conversations create opportunities algorithms never canWhy getting out from behind your computer may be the best marketing move you make this yearHow hosting a small event can attract your ideal clientsThe mindset shift from "I need more leads" to "I need more connection"If you've been feeling stuck, isolated, or like you're doing all the things without seeing the results you want, this episode is your reminder that business has always been, and always will be, about people.Resources Mentioned:✨ Take the Sweet Spot Assessment for a bird's-eye view of your business.✨ Book a complimentary Clarity Call to uncover your next best step and create a strategy that fits your business and your life.Because before your business grows...Your relationships do.Your GO-TO LINK for all things Visibility-: Google Business Profile Optimization, Your Visibility Audit, Your Rebel Woman Life Map™  and Your Sweet Spot Assessment. Love today's podcast?

Die haben mittlerweile Millionen Mitglieder, auch weil viele Firmen das ihren Mitarbeitern spendieren. Urban Sports Club, Wellpass, Hansefit und Wellhub verändern damit den Fitnessmarkt.

Is your brand sending one clear message... or five different ones?If you've ever felt like your marketing isn't working, your website isn't converting, or Google and AI don't seem to understand what you do, this episode is for you.In this episode of The Visibility Podcast, Melissa introduces the first pillar of her Consistency Framework: Brand Consistency.Most business owners think they have a visibility problem, when in reality, they have a consistency problem.Your business name, logo, colors, tagline, website, and primary offer all work together to tell Google, AI, and your ideal clients exactly who you are and why they should choose you. When those pieces aren't aligned, your message becomes confusing, and confused businesses don't get found.Melissa also shares the four areas of consistency every business owner should evaluate:Brand Consistency – Is your name, visual identity, tagline, and core offer consistent everywhere?Business Logistics – Are your address, phone number, email, website, and business information accurate and matching across every platform?Messaging Consistency – Does your messaging clearly communicate who you serve, what you do, and why you're different?Marketing Consistency – Are you showing up regularly with valuable content?The truth? Most entrepreneurs spend all their energy trying to post more content while overlooking the first three areas that make their marketing effective in the first place.If you're ready to become the go-to option in your community, start by making sure your brand tells one clear, consistent story.In this episode, you'll learn:Why brand consistency matters more than you thinkThe four pillars of a consistent marketing strategyCommon branding mistakes entrepreneurs makeHow inconsistency hurts your visibility with Google and AIA simple audit you can do today to strengthen your online presenceReady to take the next step?Book a complimentary Discovery Call to discuss your visibility strategy, or explore Melissa's Google Business Profile Optimization service to create a clear, consistent online presence that helps you get found by the right people.Because before people can choose you...They have to understand you.Your GO-TO LINK for all things Visibility-: Google Business Profile Optimization, The Website + Social Media Audit, The Visibility Blueprint, Newsletter, & Referral Partners.Love today's podcast?

Are you treating your yoga practice as a checklist item, or as a splendid return to your essence?In this episode, I'm talking to you straight about what it means to bridge the gap between modern postural yoga and the ancient spiritual depths. Hello, yogasana sadhana. We dive into the reality of spiritual burnout, escaping the rigid "box" of mainstream studio culture, and how to treat your physical practice as a doorway to the divine rather than the final destination.Here's what I share:The Seed vs. The Branch: Recognizing that while modern postural yoga is a beautiful physical doorway, it is just a single branch of a deeply rooted, magical treeOvercoming Burnout: My journey of "hitting the wall" while teaching within profit-driven spaces, and how returning to sadhana saved my mental health and my yogaFinding the Middle Ground: Exploring vivek (discernment) and vairagya (dispassion) to find the non-judgmental middle path in a highly commercialized yoga worldAncient Wisdom for Modern Seekers: Words from Chapter 6 of the Bhagavad Gita to anchor ourselves in THE STATE of YogaDitching the Spiritual High Horse: Maturing into spiritual study means expanding our compassion, not looking down on those who are on the mat just for mobilityLinks Mentioned:The Curious Yogi Online Practice Community: Join My Momence Community Here (Migrating soon from Patreon—download the Momence app to track your practice, book 90-minute classes, and join our monthly Satsangs!)Listen to Stewart's Latest Episode (There's two!): On What Yoga is NOT Listen to Nikki's Episode from Season 1: On Finding The MiddleYoga is not a mechanical checklist; it is an act of remembering the light, clarity, and love that is already sitting quietly with you.How do you maintain and relate to your sadhana?

Before someone reads your website, watches your videos, or walks through your front door, they've already made a decision about your business.That decision is based on what they see.In this episode of The Visibility Podcast, Melissa Rose sits down with branding photographer Kristina Lynn to talk about the powerful role visual perception plays in building trust, attracting ideal clients, and positioning yourself as the obvious choice in your industry.With over 17 years of experience and a background in both marketing and portrait photography, Kristina shares why branding photography is about so much more than beautiful images. It's about creating visuals that tell the right story, communicate your value, and help your audience instantly understand who you are and why they should work with you.Whether you own a brick-and-mortar business or you're building a personal brand, this conversation will change the way you think about showing up online.In This Episode We Discuss:Why people make buying decisions before they ever read a word of your marketing.The difference between posting random content and using intentional brand imagery.How your photos influence trust, authority, and perceived value.Why consistency across your website, social media, and marketing matters.How branding photography helps attract the right clients—not just more clients.Common mistakes business owners make with their online images.The connection between professional photography, confidence, and charging what you're worth.Why "I'm not photogenic" is one of the biggest myths holding entrepreneurs back.Memorable TakeawayVisibility isn't just about being seen. It's about being perceived the way you want to be remembered.Your photos are one of the fastest ways to communicate who you are, what you stand for, and the experience clients can expect from working with you.Connect with Kristina LynnWebsite: https://www.kristinalynnphoto.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinalynnphotographyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/KristinaLynnPhotography/Ready to Increase Your Visibility?If you're wondering whether your online presence is communicating the right message, start with Melissa's Visibility Audit.Together, you'll review your website, Google Business Profile, and social media to ensure your messaging, visuals, and positioning are working together to attract your ideal clients—not confusing them.Your GO-TO LINK for all things Visibility-: Google Business Profile Optimization, The Visibility Audit, The Visibility Blueprint, Newsletter, & Referral Partners.Love today's podcast?

Every business eventually hits a plateau.You know the feeling. You're working hard, showing up consistently, and doing all the things you've been told to do—but the growth you're looking for just isn't happening.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what's been happening inside my own brick-and-mortar business, The Dancing House.Over the past year, I've pulled every major growth lever available:✔️ Increased our prices and positioned ourselves as a premium offering.✔️ Reduced expenses and improved profitability.✔️ Tightened operations and systems.But none of those changes explain why we're experiencing our best summer enrollment in 17 years.The biggest shift came when I became certified in the Pumpkin Plan framework and used my own business as the test case. Instead of focusing solely on who we are, what we do, and who we serve, I went deeper. I started listening more closely to what our customers were actually saying.That insight changed everything.In this episode, I'm sharing:• The growth levers every business owner should understand• Why most marketing messages miss the mark• How customer language can transform your visibility• The messaging shift that helped drive our strongest summer enrollment ever• Why clarity beats complexity when it comes to marketingIf your business feels stuck, plateaued, or like you've tried everything, this conversation may help you identify the next lever to pull.And make sure you listen all the way to the end—I have a special offer exclusively for podcast listeners.Resources Mentioned:

Burnout happens because you care so much that somewhere along the way, you stop taking care of yourself.”If you've been feeling tired lately, you're not alone.On recent coaching calls, Michael Jay has been asking studio owners to rate their energy from 1 to 10. The answers have been surprisingly low. Lots of 3s. Lots of 4s. Even the 7s came with a laugh and a disclaimer.So why are so many community Yoga Studio owners running on empty?In this episode, Michael is joined by former studio owner and consultant Stephanie for an honest conversation about burnout, boundaries, self-care, and what it really takes to sustain yourself while leading a community Yoga Studio.Together they share stories from their own experiences as studio owners, discuss why summer can be an ideal time to reset, and explore the habits, systems, and mindset shifts that help owners protect their energy without losing momentum in their business.The conversation touches on everything from taking time off and finding your personal rhythm to delegating tasks, reconnecting with your own practice, and remembering that the health of a community Yoga Studio starts with the health of its owner.This episode is especially valuable for owners who love their community Yoga Studio deeply but have started to feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the reasons they opened their doors in the first place.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why so many community Yoga Studio owners are feeling burnt out right now• The warning signs that your energy tank is running low• Why summer can be the perfect season to rest, regroup, and prepare for fall• How dedicated time to work on your Yoga Studio—not just in it—can reduce stress and improve focus• Why delegation, systems, and asking for help are essential skills for community Yoga Studio owners• How finding your own rhythm can improve both your health and your business• Why attending classes as a student can reignite your passion and creativity• The importance of practicing what you preach as the leader of a community Yoga Studio• Simple self-care habits that can help prevent burnout before it starts• Why building a thriving community Yoga Studio begins with taking care of yourselfGrab a spot in Michael's calendar for the GROW-A-STUDIO coaching package.  New to OfferingTree?

If you've ever thought, “I should create a course…” but then immediately felt overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to even begin, this episode is for you.Today, I'm joined by Jasmine Jonte, founder and CEO of CRE8TION, and let me just say… she is the real deal.We dive into the difference between creating a course that simply shares information versus one that actually creates transformation, and why that difference is everything when it comes to results, reputation, and revenue.We also get into: When it's actually the right time to create a course (because yes, timing matters, and most people get it wrong)  How to think about a course as a business asset, not just another thing on your to-do list  And how to use AI the right way, without losing your voice, your value, or your credibility As a brick-and-mortar business owner myself, I'll be honest, I've dipped my toe into courses, and I have not done it well.

Text me what your #1 studio problem is right now for my research. Add your email.If your Yoga Studio marketing always feels last-minute, you are not alone.In this solo Marketing Month episode, Michael Jay breaks down why so many Yoga Studio owners feel like they are constantly scrambling to promote programs, manage the schedule, answer emails, lead the team, and keep the business moving.The issue usually is not a lack of ideas. Most studio owners have plenty of good ideas. The real problem is that those ideas are often sitting in the owner's head, being launched too late, or getting buried under everything that feels urgent.This episode is a practical reset for Yoga Studio owners who want to feel more prepared, more organized, and more in control of their marketing.Michael shares simple steps to help you block real marketing time, delegate the tasks that are slowing you down, look at your energy as well as your schedule, create repeatable systems, and finally get your marketing projects out of your head and onto a project board.This is not about becoming a perfect marketing machine. It is about creating a better rhythm so your Yoga Studio can grow with more clarity, more consistency, and less owner overwhelm.In this episode:Michael talks about why last-minute marketing rarely works well, how to protect time for business-building work, why successful studio owners stop trying to do everything themselves, and how one simple checklist can make future launches feel so much easier.He also shares how success starts to look different when your systems, team, marketing, and community all start moving in the same direction.Grab a spot in Michael's calendar for the GROW-A-STUDIO coaching package.  Get 50% off your first three months of Offering Tree, OR 15% off an entire year with my Exclusive Discount Link Offeringtree.com/yogabizchamppodcast FREE RESOURCES AND BOOK A CHAT LINKhttps://yogabizchamp.link/podlink

Today's episode is one I personally needed.As I've stepped into offering higher-ticket services, I found myself bumping up against some mindset blocks—questions like: Am I worth this? Will people actually pay this? Do I need to give more to justify the price?So I brought on someone I trust deeply in this space—Nikki Rausch, also known as The Sales Maven—to walk us through it.Inside this conversation, Nikki breaks down one of the most powerful concepts around pricing and value:You will often be paid the most for what is easiest for you.We dig into her framework around the four levels of competency, and why your zone of genius—the thing that feels second nature to you—is actually where your highest value lies.We also talk about something so many business owners get wrong when they start charging more: Over-delivering.Nikki shares why giving more isn't always better—and how overwhelming your client can actually take away from their experience. Instead, we shift the focus to what really matters: a clear, confident, and supportive client experience.And finally, we dive into one of Nikki's superpowers:Asking better questions.Because the right questions don't just lead to better sales—they lead to better relationships, better results, and clients who feel truly seen and understood.Nikki also shares a free resource with you—her Easy Follow-Up Guide—to help you confidently stay connected with potential clients without feeling awkward or pushy. You'll find that linked in the show notes.If you've ever felt stuck around pricing, selling, or stepping into your next level of business—this episode will meet you right where you are and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.And if you're ready to be seen as the go-to in your industry, don't forget to grab my free Google Business Profile workshop at msmelissarose.com/deals.All things Nikki Rausch - The Sales Maven Website: https://yoursalesmaven.comIG https://www.instagram.com/your_sales_maven/LI www.linkedin.com/in/nikkirauschYouTube http://www.youtube.com/c/SalesMavenFB https://www.facebook.com/yoursalesmaven/Blog: https://yoursalesmaven.com/sales-maven-blog/Her Gift to Us!Your GO-TO LINK for all things Visibility-: Google Business Profile Optimization, The Website + Social Media Audit, The Visibility Blueprint, Newsletter, & Referral Partners.Love today's podcast?

Yess Yoga is a yoga studio in Minneapolis one block from where Alex Pretti was murdered by Border Patrol agents in January of this year.  In this episode, I'm joined by Minneapolis-based yoga teacher and studio owner Lucia Yess. Our conversation is both heartbreaking and deeply inspiring as we explore what it means to truly live our yoga off the mat, especially in moments of crisis. Lucia shares her experience running Yess Yoga during a recent ICE surge in Minneapolis, where her neighborhood became a site of fear, violence, and profound uncertainty. As community members were being detained and families were afraid to leave their homes, Lucia and her team stepped into action, transforming their studio into a hub for mutual aid, care, and refuge. What stands out most to me in this conversation is Lucia's clarity: this wasn't a question of whether to help, but how. When our neighbors are suffering, yoga calls us to respond. In this episode, you'll hear: What it was like to be on the ground in a city under siege by the federal government Why yoga must extend beyond personal practice into collective care How staying grounded in our values helps us take meaningful action How to get looped into the communities that need support How Yess Yoga became a center for mutual aid—providing medical supplies, food, communication tools, and more How the studio remained open during crisis by offering free and sliding-scale classes, supported by community fundraising Practical ways yoga teachers and studio owners can prepare to support their own communities Learn More From Lucia: Visit Yes Yoga Studio's online home Follow Yes Yoga Studio on Instagram Mutual Aid Yes' GoFundMe Call your representatives Book recommendations: Emergent Strategy by Adrienne Maree Brown Service Berry by Robin Wall Kimmer (Growth Economy) Embrace Yoga's Roots by Susanna Barkataki  Skill in Action by Michelle Cassandra Johnson   This episode is brought to you by OfferingTree, an easy-to-use, all-in-one online platform for yoga teachers that provides a personal website, booking, payment, blogging, and many other great features.

What does it really mean to stay devoted to a practice for three decades — and let it keep changing you?   Harmony Slater and Russell Case sit down with Jodi Blumstein: long-time Ashtanga yoga practitioner, founder of one of Chicago's first Ashtanga shalas, and the teacher who led the Mysore program at YogaWorks in Los Angeles for over 15 years. Now teaching online to a global community, Jodi brings the rare perspective of someone who has lived through the full arc of Ashtanga yoga in the West — from the early days of counting in Sanskrit with a German accent at a single Chicago class, to practicing on Oak Street Beach with Tim Miller, to navigating the post-COVID world of online Mysore.   This conversation is honest, nostalgic, nuanced, and full of lived wisdom.   In this episode, you'll discover: What it was really like to study with Tim Miller, Dena Kingsbrough, and Nancy Gilgoff — and how each teacher gave something completely different Why the traditional yoga studio business model is unsustainable — and what might replace it How Ashtanga practice should evolve as you age (and why the 'marathon' model of practice is the key) What the rise of Instagram did to the Ashtanga community (for better and worse) How Jodi found her way into online teaching — and why she's never going back to in-person The practice philosophy she now teaches: rotating series, building core strength, and adapting intelligently for the long haul What Pattabhi Jois's presence was really like in those final Lakshmipuram classes   Connect with Jodi Blumstein: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jodi_blumstein/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jodibe4483 The Inner Rejuvenation Codes: https://harmonyslater.kit.com/inner-rejuvenation-codes-mc Join the Lightworker Mastermind:  https://harmonyslater.com/lightworker-mastermind FIND Harmony online: https://harmonyslater.com/ Harmony on IG: https://www.instagram.com/harmonyslaterofficial/ Finding Harmony Podcast on IG: https://www.instagram.com/findingharmonypodcast/ FREE Manifestation Activation: https://harmonyslater.kit.com/manifestation-activation

Jenn speaks to Taiwanese Canadian founder Krave Yoga a yoga studied nestled in the heart of Taipei city. Born and raised in Taipei, Angie moved to Canada at the age of 8. The experience of being at the top of your class to suddenly being the student who was illiterate in a new environment taught Angie about resilience from an early age. She shares with us how feeling illiterate in an adopted country is a hard transition, the challenges she experienced, and the role her late grandmother played in her life which shaped her to become who she is today from law to a yoga studio owner. (Recorded on March 25, 2026) About Angie Yang Angie is the founder of Krave Yoga, a boutique studio in Taipei built on a simple belief: helping each person become who they want to be—by keeping them moving, physically and mentally. Her journey into yoga started with a class that felt incredibly hard and intimidating, but by the end, something shifted—her bad mood disappeared, and she realized yoga could transform not just the body, but also the mind. After moving to Taipei and not finding a space that truly felt like “coming home,” she created Krave Yoga: a no-mirrors, no-judgment space where you are welcomed exactly as you are, and supported to keep showing up, growing, and feeling better in your everyday life.
