Episode Synopsis

Jess Dohnt tried yoga for the first time over 10 years ago and didn't love it. If you had told her 10 years ago that she would be a yoga studio manager, owner + teacher, she wouldn't have believed you! After a bad injury, Jess discovered her love of yoga and hasn't looked back since. On this episode, Jess shares her experience as a yoga teacher + yoga studio manager and what she learned through her years managing a successful studio, including hiring yoga teachers, scheduling classes, and creating a community. Six months ago, Jess took the leap into studio ownership with 2 other teachers, and she shares the ups and downs of owning a yoga studio and what she's learned over the last 6 months. We chat about burnout, wearing multiple hats, what it's like to own a small business, the lesson of asking for help, and so much more. Enjoy!
