Wellness and self-care are an ever increasing part of people’s personal goals and priorities, driving an ever increasing societal interest in yoga.
We understand how challenging it can be to stand out from the crowd as a yoga teacher, so we’re here to help you. In this article we will discuss how to elevate your practices, find balance and embrace the flow of both business and life.
Understand your customer’s schedule and commitment
Defining your ideal customer is so important to ensure that what you’re offering is exactly what your customers have been looking for. Taking the time to ask your customers what they want will help you to determine your schedule, class structure, whether you want to offer 1-2-1 or larger group classes and pricing. This practice of defining your ideal customer will also allow you to discover the average ability level of your customers and plan a class around this with appropriate modifications and adding in your own unique style to stand out from the crowd!
Design your business model accordingly
Once you’ve defined your ideal customer, you can then design your business model accordingly. Knowing whether you should offer a flexible PAYG option, courses that are in line with term time to help with attendance or even memberships for a longer term commitment and automated billing, will help you to not only offer payment options that best suit your customers but also streamline your business.
Free up time for yourself
As you get busier and busier as a business owner, time becomes an ever increasing commodity. No matter how busy you are, it is important to free up time for yourself to allow space for self-reflection, continued learning and committing to your own self-practice. Providing yourself with this free time is so valuable when it comes to developing and elevating your business.
Automate your business
Having a booking system that allows you to automate administrative tasks will free up more time to focus on your business model, continued learning and most importantly finding balance as a business owner.
