This week on the podcast I am re-joined by Claudia Azula. Claudia is a yoga teacher, best-selling author, and YouTuber who is passionate about the ways in which yoga helps with a lot more than just the body. Claudia joined me on the podcast in 2022 and one of the things that we briefly touched on was self-publishing a book. I wanted to dive deeper into what it's like to self-publish a book so Claudia joined me for a second episode to talk about this more in depth. In this episode, Claudia shares the writing process and what it was like to actually get her ideas on paper, editing the book, finding people to format, design and help her upload the book to Amazon, the challenges and obstacles that she faced along the way, the price breakdown, marketing her book, and much more.
