In this episode of the Full-Time Yoga Teacher Podcast, Reika sits down with Karol De Souza, a yoga teacher, entrepreneur, and mother whose journey has taken her from a childhood shaped by meditation and mindfulness to building a thriving six-figure hybrid yoga business.

Karol shares how her bold decision to leave the corporate world and embrace a nomadic lifestyle. From traveling and teaching yoga across the globe to eventually settling in Portugal, Karol opens up about the challenges of financial stress, redefining her purpose, and the resilience it took to transition from low-paid studio classes to leading international retreats and creating online offerings.

We also dive into how Karol grew her business during the pandemic, harnessed social media authentically, and built a global community that allows her to work from anywhere in the world. She reflects on the balance between motherhood and entrepreneurship, the power of retreats in transforming lives, and why success is about more than numbers; it’s about finding fulfillment and alignment.

Whether you’re a yoga teacher seeking inspiration to break free from burnout, an entrepreneur navigating the online space, or someone curious about balancing passion, family, and business, this conversation offers practical insights and soulful encouragement from Karol’s journey.
