The Long Version I started my yoga journey many years ago in India in my early twenties. I was definitely not the perfect yoga student and far from living the #yogaeverydamnday life. I loved the practice but I found it difficult to stay consistent. However, I always managed to find my way back to it, especially in hard times. This brings us to the Covid Pandemic (definitely a hard time). After being put on furlough at my company, watching half the catalogue of Netflix and loosing my mind in a mixture of boredom, anxiety and depression, I decided to take action and bring myself back. I joined a 200hrs YTT. The aim was not to teach but to do something for myself and learn more about this practice that I kept going back to in hardship. I felt so much better, almost immediately! By the end of the training, I was back to my old self and decided to teach a few classes “just to see”. And I found what was missing in my practice for all these years. The teaching part was a revolution for me. It kept me consistent, accountable, deepened my passion and brought me so much joy and fulfilment. I was hooked. Shortly after, I created my first business and less than a year later, I quit my full-time job. I couldn’t believe how quickly everything happened, especially when seeing so many other teachers struggling around me. I realized that being great at teaching yoga wasn’t enough to make a living, that teaching 15+ classes per week was taking the joy out the practice and that most teachers around me were on the verge of burn out and/or discouraged. I also realized that Yoga Teacher Trainings teach you everything you need to know to teach yoga but nothing when it comes to building a business and a career as a Yoga Teacher. And that is the main thing that set me apart. I have a MBA, I studied management, business strategies, marketing, finances and all the things that can make or break your business All the things that are not taught at a YTT. The Yoga CEOs was born to fill in the gap between the Yoga Teacher Trainings and the reality of being a business owner. I now get to help and to support many yoga teachers in turning their passion into a sustainable and fulfilling career and build the life they thought was only a dream.
