Arundhati Baitmangalkar, host of the popular Let's Talk Yoga podcast, never planned to build any of this. She didn't set out to have a studio, a podcast, or an online yoga school. She just wanted to teach. And yet here she is, more than a decade later, with something recognizable and lasting. In this episode we talk about how you stay authentic to yoga while building a business online, in a world…
A membership isn't the easiest way to make money. I'll be the first to tell you that. So why have I bet my whole business on one? In this episode I take you fully behind the scenes of the Blissful Biz Hive to answer exactly that. The years of starting it, closing it, and starting it all over again. The three tiers I finally landed on, and the thinking behind each price that most people would never…
Is it still possible to grow an audience organically and build a real online business as a yoga teacher? Jo Hutton is living proof that it is. Jo spent over 16 years teaching yoga in Newcastle, ran her own studio, and trained more than 50 yoga teachers. Today she has one of the most engaged wellness communities in the UK, with over 46,000 subscribers on Substack. But the path there was anything…
Have you caught yourself thinking "nobody's buying anymore"? Maybe a launch landed with a quiet thud. Or maybe that fear is the exact reason you keep putting off creating a digital offer in the first place. Before you decide the moment for digital offers has passed, listen to this one. Inside the episode I share what actually changed in the online yoga world, and why the way most yoga teachers…
What would you actually do if your goal was to add $1,000 a month to your income, online, without teaching a single extra studio class or private? That's the exact question I'm answering in this episode. Because an extra thousand dollars a month is genuinely life changing for so many yoga teachers, and it's also the doorway to everything that comes after it. But how you go about it matters…
Do you have something you could sell right now? A course you created a while ago, a workshop recording, a small offer sitting quietly on your website. And every time you think about actually promoting it, something stops you. In this episode, I'm getting into what's really behind that silence. Because for so many yoga teachers, the online business doesn't fail, it just quietly goes to sleep while…
A few years ago I was living what most business coaches would call the dream. A six figure year, six months in a campervan, barely working, all of it carried by one premium program I sold for $5,000. I don't sell that program anymore. And in this episode, I'm telling you why. I'm taking you inside the rooms most coaches never talk about. The $20,000 mastermind where I learned to sell high ticket.…
I just got back from nearly three weeks in the Dolomites, travelling with my dog Luna in a campervan, and my freebie funnel kept running the entire time without me touching it. No big team, no weeks of preparation, just a handful of emails scheduled in advance and a system that was already built to work on its own. In this episode, I break down exactly how that funnel works. Why a freebie has to…
If you've been doing everything right — the freebie, the online course, the social media content — and it still feels like nothing is adding up, this episode is for you. Not because you're doing it wrong, but because the landscape has genuinely shifted, and most of the advice people are still following hasn't caught up yet. In this episode, I'm talking about why the old model (create a course, do…
If you've been hearing about Skool everywhere lately, you're not imagining it — it's one of the fastest-growing platforms in the online business world right now. But what I find most interesting about it isn't the hype. It's the flexibility. Because Skool isn't just one business model. There are actually several different ways yoga teachers can use it to build income, and they look quite different…
If you're building an online yoga business, legal protection is probably not the first thing on your mind. But as Chad Sonkin from Conscious Counsel explains, the question isn't whether you'll ever need it, it's whether you'll be prepared when you do. Chad has been working with yoga and wellness entrepreneurs for almost 10 years, and in this conversation he walks us through the legal essentials…
