In this episode, Giana and Bradshaw explore what it looks like to teach beyond the group class setting. They discuss taking the leap into workshops, day retreats, and series, and stepping confidently into the role of yoga entrepreneur (even if they never use that word).

They share their own journeys: Bradshaw opens up about his annual Mariah Carey Christmas tradition that sparks joy year after year, while Giana reflects on the resourcefulness that has shaped her career- from working in a chiropractor’s office to hosting day retreats on her brother’s farm. Most recently, she led a Bay Area day retreat complete with sauna and cold plunge, building community in a brand-new space.

The two also dive into practical strategies for getting students to sign up and marketing your offerings. Plus, Giana announces her new mentorship beginning October 1, designed to help teachers branch out and start creating their own events.

This episode is packed with stories, strategies, and inspiration to fuel your entrepreneurial spirit.
