Business of Yoga (part 5): Rest to Reset

January 29, 2016 By Melody

As a small business owner (aka full-time traveling yoga teacher), I’m often asked “How are you able to take vacation?”  Or sometimes it sounds like “Won’t your office yoga /corporate yoga clients find another instructor?” and “Aren’t you worried your private yoga clients will be upset?”  A huge part of the Business of Yoga is taking care of you!  Honestly, I’m always baffled by these types of question  Part of a yoga teacher’s job is to help people feel better.  Better is a simple term for … [Read more...]

Office Yoga – It’s My Thing!

March 18, 2015 By Melody

Last week I was grateful to teach a series of office yoga sessions for a huge global real estate company with several DC locations as part of their employee health & wellness program.  After spending three days in a row in Bethesda, MD (Tues), Washington, DC (Wed) and McLean, VA (Thurs) teaching the benefits of yogic breathing and movement (yoga asana) in conference rooms, I realized a few things: Yoga is accessible to everyone, anywhere, anytime.  In these office yoga sessions I … [Read more...]

Office Yoga – It Works at Work

January 20, 2015 By Melody

It doesn't matter where in the world your office is located ---the U.S.A, UK or Japan --- it's exciting to see how more and more companies are reaping the benefits of office yoga by simply offering yoga in their workplace once or twice per week to their employees.  Even more exciting is reading stats like this... A study led by Professor Jim McKenna, from Leeds Beckett University, surveyed 210 office workers to find that lunchtime exercise increased staff productivity, and even helped them … [Read more...]

From Yoga Mat to Corner Office

December 31, 2014 By Melody

Teaching office yoga in and around Washington, DC and Arlington, VA since 2006, I have acquired a stat that often boggles my mind.  Usually only about 5-10% of the onsite employees participate in office yoga classes.  Regardless of whether the company fully sponsors the office yoga classes or the individual employees partially or fully pay, the participation isn't as great as many think.  The former (where the company pays 100% for office yoga) is the biggest mind blower for me...free yoga in … [Read more...]

The Business of Yoga (part 4)

April 14, 2014 By Melody

The Business of Yoga (part 4) is all about the importance of networking.  As I explained to the Flow Yoga Center yoga teacher trainees yesterday in Washington, DC, word-of-mouth continues to be an essential key to locking in private and corporate yoga clients since starting abellaYoga nearly eight years ago. Face-to-face connections in today’s social media/texting world seem to often get pushed to the side. It’s far easier to hide behind a computer screen and promote yourself vs. physically … [Read more...]

Taking a Break

March 27, 2014 By Melody

As a small business owner (i.e. full-time traveling yoga teacher), I'm often asked "How are you able to take vacation?"  Or sometimes it sounds like "Won't your office yoga /corporate clients find another instructor?" and "Aren't you worried your private yoga clients will be upset?" Honestly, I'm always baffled by this type of question  Part of a yoga teacher's job is to help people feel better.  Better is a simple term for a world of sensations such as healthy, grounded, energized, … [Read more...]
