His approach is really accessible for everyone. There are even some insider tips on how to market yourself etc. A great read!

How to promote a business using social media

Darren provides a road map in how to build & promote a viable business using social media. I like that it includes guidance on developing relationships that can lead to long-term success. This is a great guide for many different types entrepreneurs, tips transferable to health, healing, arts & services industries.

fast read, honest, methodical, overall excellent

This book is very exciting - for the seasoned yogi/entrepreneur but also for the amateur like me. Darren starts from the ground up, making the read easy to go through, understandable and honest. I really appreciate this style. It's as if he's having more of a personal conversation (with me) than writing a book, which I appreciate so much. Would highly recommend it to anyone!!!

A must read!

Darren is authentic and insightful in his approach. A good read, guide for those taking the next step into the yoga industry!

Thoughtful and Resourceful Ideas

Wonderful examples and straight forward advice. As with many of Darren's books, this one will help lead you to a different perspective. Well Done!

Excellent resource for all yoga teachers

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the ethics and business of yoga. It is an excellent resource for yoga teachers at every stage in their career.

As a yogi currently in a basic teacher training program, I appreciated that Darren encouraged readers to reflect upon their own practice, passion, and vision as a foundation to build their business.

In a "world is hungry for self-awareness," The Yogi Entrepreneur guides aspiring teachers to share their practice with their communities.

wonderfully helpful and comprehensive

I enjoyed its structure and pace. This book gave me a great overview of what it takes to mindfully create my own path. Darren, through this book, has helped me get a sense of the practical decisions that should be made when balancing the need to develop a sustainable way of sharing this sacred knowledge and honoring its values as a way of life.

Great for all phases of the yoga teacher journey

I would highly recommend this book for anyone exploring the possibility of yoga teacher training or looking to supplement the teaching materials they currently utilize as a yoga teacher. This guidebook has a plethora of practical resources for anyone on any portion of their endless path of yogic teacher training. Darren includes personal anecdotes and intimate experiences to share lessons learned as well as thoughtful provocations for the reader to consider in making yoga teaching and entrepreneurship their own. #yogientrepreneur @darrenjmain

Everything I needed to hear 🙏

Enjoyed the wonderful narration, and loved the sincerity and brutal honesty of the book as a whole.

Yogi wannabe read this - you need to pay rent!

Very user friendly instruction on how to create your own little space in very crowded world of yoga and fitness. After reading over 20 Entrepreneur- like books i was very familiar on every concept mentioned in the book. Author gather and recycle Ideas from other most read titles and put them together creating sort of blueprint for yoga business. Loved the chapters about how to build relationships with students and how to work with other yogis. If you never read any book related to Business, Online marketing or entrepreneurship and you are spiritual yogi you mind find this title a bit overwhelming . This title is about YOGA BUSINESS not about Yoga philosophy . I can say 9/10 - have to take 1 for talking about talking about google search optimization as toward the end got too technical.
