Setting Boundaries in Your Yoga Business

This week on the podcast we are talking about boundaries! Setting boundaries and sticking to them can be so challenging as yoga teachers and yoga business owners, but it's also one of the most important things that we need to do to create sustainable yoga businesses. In this episode, we discuss what a boundary is, what types of boundaries show up in our businesses, how to go about setting boundaries and sticking to them, why they are important for us, and much more. 

Enjoy!

Magic Mind contains minimal caffeine, and the caffeine it does have comes from the matcha tea. It also has all natural ingredients, adaptogens to help decrease stress and nootropics to boost blood flow and cognition.
