The Creative Metrics of a Yoga Pro: Planning, People & Paying Attention. A Chat with Carol Rossi
This episode explores practical and compassionate business strategy for yoga professionals. From setting bold 2026 goals to understanding systemic challenges, making meaningful connections, gathering simple data, identifying your ideal students, and trying new ideas without pressure—we break down what it really takes to grow your yoga business with intention and curiosity.
1. Make a 2026 Plan (Big + Simple!) 📅🌟
Set business goals for next year—one easy, a few medium, and one bold “stretch” goal. Dream bigger than you think you can.
2. Systems + Personal Change Coexist 🧩🌍
Capitalism impacts our lives AND personal choices shape our future. Real transformation happens where systemic struggle and accountability meet.
3. Outreach Matters: Go Make Work Friends 🤝💛
Build genuine relationships—not transactional ones. Human-first networking is the heart of yoga business growth.
4. Please Collect Simple Data 📊🧘♀️
Feedback helps you understand what your clients need. Keep it easy—short check-ins, occasional surveys—and use it to improve your teaching or therapy work.
5. Envision Your Ideal Teaching Day 🌅🪷
Instead of “find your niche,” imagine your perfect teaching environment. Inside or outside? Who’s in the room? Build your business for those people.
6. Try Stuff. Seriously. Try Stuff. 🎥🧪
Once you gather insights, experiment—networking, marketing, teaching ideas. Don’t overthink it. Just test, refine, repeat. (I’m trying regular video posts—even if I feel weird!)
