Abundant Yoga Teacher Podcast

A common mistake I see Yoga teachers making is trying to be all things to all people. This can happen as a result of being worried about money. If you become too specific in what you offer, will you can able to attract enough clients? If you have a wellbeing service that you offer online, it is critical that you are VERY specific with your audience. In fact, you’ll go broke it you’re not. Want my help? Reach out!
