The Business Of Teaching Yoga

People Who Pay, Pay Attention with Dr. Shante Cofield aka The Movement Maestro


Listen Later

Dr. Shante Cofield, aka The Movement Maestro is a physical therapist (PT) turned online business coach for movement professionals (i.e. like yoga teachers) and in today’s episode we have a BIG conversation about money, and business, with a side of social media thrown in for fun. It’s jam packed with ideas about how to overcome your “money issues” (hey, we all have ‘em), how to get strategic about starting a business, pricing, and how to stay accessible without using sliding scales! 

It’s a must-listen if you run your own business as a yoga teacher, or have a goal of working towards that!

*Ok, little disclaimer here. Shante and I share a lot of the same views on business and marketing and in this episode, you’ll hear both of us confirm each other A LOT. Which, I’ll admit, was super fun. However, I know there isn’t one right way to do anything, so if you all have suggestions for other folks who are out there doing business differently, let me know! I’d love to interview them too!
