A Comprehensive Guide to Yoga Entrepreneurship

I loved this book! It not only was a detailed and comprehensive guide to building a successful yoga business, but it was filled with interesting stories throughout that fit each theme/chapter, making it a lively and educational read. I will certainly be referring back to this book as I continue on my yoga journey and would recommend this book, not only to the yogi entrepreneur, but anyone interested in building their business and brand in an ethical and sustainable way.

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.

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

Great information!

Loved the information presented in this book! It answered many questions I had about becoming a new yoga instructor. I was inspired and educated.

Valuable yogic advice all around

Whether being in the yogi business or not this book provides insightful and valuable info about being a nice person, weaving loving kindness and what is truly yoga into every aspect of modern life. Very inspiring.

Helped Me Become a Yoga *Professional*

I highly recommend the Yogi Entrepreneur for all yoga teachers serious about making yoga teaching their full-time gig. Reading this book helped me begin to take myself seriously as a yoga professional. I knew I was a good teacher, I knew I have a passion for yoga, but I didn't know that I was missing an entrepreneurial spirit for making yoga how I earn my living. A lot of teachers struggle with yoga as a business (it can even feel difficult charging money for a practice that is so close to your heart). This book is filled with stories, anecdotes, and practical tools and resources that inspire and then point you in the right direction with homework to get you going. I'll return to it again as I put together workshops and retreats, travel as a yoga instructor, and simply for inspiration when I need to remember that I can ethically and sustainably make a living teaching yoga.

Great listen for yoga teachers

A great read for those who want some direction on where to go in their post yoga training journey. Darren clearly and easily spells out what needs to happen in order to make it as a yoga teacher. His approach is really accessible for everyone. There are even some insider tips on how to market yourself etc. A great read!
