On this episode of the podcast, I am joined by Arianne Traverso from Bizzy Yogi and the Yoga Expo in Miami. Arianne came to yoga from the graphic design and marketing world, and has been teaching yoga for over 15 years. On this episode, Arianne and I chat about her experience as a yoga teacher, a yoga studio owner, a mentor for yoga teachers, and the founder of Bizzy Yogi.
Arianne and I chat about the importance of sales funnels and how you can set up an effective sales funnel, the importance of digital marketing and how you can create an online presence, as well as why it's important to have multiple revenue streams and how to create a side hustle that makes you money doing something that you love.
One of the big lessons that Arianne shares in this episode is to bring harmony into your business. Take what you learn on the mat and bring it into your life off the mat and into your business.

On this episode of the podcast, I am joined by Or Shahar, who is joining me all the way from Germany. Or shares how she came to yoga from a place of depression and found that yoga was very healing for her. She decided to take her first teacher training in India, and then proceeded to take another training in Germany.
Or shares how her teaching journey led her to teaching and living in Berlin, Germany and what the yoga landscape is like in Germany. She also shares how she has taught yoga to individuals with special needs and how she has expanded her business online through trainings and videos. We discuss the importance of being patient with yourself and your business, stepping outside of the traditional idea of what a yogi and a yoga class should look like, saying "yes" to as many opportunities as you can when you're a new yoga teacher, and so much more!
