This week on the podcast I am joined by John &amp; Chris Yax from Yax Yoga Concepts. John &amp; Chris are brothers, business partners, and yoga teachers from Virginia Beach, VA. They came to yoga from a mixed martial arts background, but quickly fell in love with the practice and decided to become teachers. They soon opened up a yoga studio in their house, and have watched their studio grow and flourish into two locations, teacher training programs, and thousands of students coming through the door.  On this episode, John &amp; Chris share what it has taken for them to be successful yoga teachers, successful studio owners, and to be able to create their own teacher training programs. They share the business tips they've learned through their careers, and much more.  Enjoy! This episode is brought to you in part by OfferingTree. When you’re a yoga teacher and you’re trying to build your digital presence it can be daunting.  First, you might need a website. There are a lot of great tools for building websites like Wordpress, Wix, and Squarespace.  Then you need a way to email your students.  Again there are tools for that like mail chimp and constant contact.  But that’s another account to pay for and a password to remember.  Then you need a way to schedule and register your students.  Again there are tools for that, but it’s another account to create and pay for and another password to remember.  Oh wait, how do I integrate my scheduling tool with my website… Arghhhh! Instead of putting all of this stuff off for another day because it’s too daunting, let me tell you about a better way.  OfferingTree set out to make creating your digital presence fun, easy and affordable.
