On season 1 of the podcast, Tara Koenig shared her passion + involvement in the Africa Yoga Project. Now she's back for season 2 to talk about her experiences teaching in a saturated market. Tara is based out of Banff, Alberta, which is an extremely saturated market (hundreds of yoga teachers and only a few yoga studios). We talk about finding your niche in a saturated teaching market, how to make yourself stand out as a new yoga teacher, and strategies for getting a job in a saturated market.

Do you work as a yoga teacher entrepreneur and have control over your schedule outside of the classes you teach? Have you ever struggled with productivity, discipline, or managing your time?
I have too, and the habit that has a game changer for me was creating a morning routine that is non-negotiable for myself.
So, on this episode, we are talking about the importance of a morning routine - why you should create one for yourself, what to include in it, and how to make it a habit that you do everyday. It sounds like a simple, unimportant habit, but it isn't. Getting up every morning and clearing your head sets you up for success, and as entrepreneurs, we need this because no one else will do it for us!
Enjoy the episode + good luck creating your morning routine!
