    What I'd Do Differently If I Were Building a Yoga Business in 2026

    One of the questions I get asked most often by yoga teachers, in different forms, is: what would you do if you were me? Where would you start, what would you focus on, what would you skip? In this episode I share what I would do if I were building a yoga business today — what I'd prioritize, what I'd skip, and what I'd build much sooner than feels comfortable. If you're in the early stages of building your yoga business, or you've been at it for a while and something still isn't clicking, this episode will give you a clearer picture of what to focus on and why. 🔗 Links mentioned:  The Profitable Yoga Business Intensive is happening March 23–25.

    Scaling to $10K Months (Part 3 of 3): The Leadership Shift

    This is the final episode in my three-part series on scaling your online yoga business to $10K months. In part 1, we covered brand positioning and your offer suite for yoga teachers. In part 2, we talked about messaging and sales process. In this episode, we're covering the shift that ties everything else together: leadership. You can have all the strategy in place, clear positioning, a solid offer, great messaging, a sales system, but if this final piece is missing, you'll stay stuck.  This episode is about showing up consistently, charging what you're worth, and embodying the version of yourself who already has the business you're building toward. In this episode: ✨ Why consistency matters more than you think (and how showing up every week since 2016 built my business) ✨ My struggle with playing small on pricing and what changed when I got in the right rooms ✨ How to embody your next-level self before the results show up ✨ Why full commitment (no plan B) changes how you show up 🔗 Links mentioned: Apply for the Blissful Biz Mastermind: https://susannerieker.com/mastermind  Low Ticket Mojo — turn your yoga wisdom into a small digital offer that brings in daily sales: https://susannerieker.com/lowticketmojo   💖 If you liked this episode, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts – your feedback really makes a difference. 📆 Never miss a new episode and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. ✨ Share your biggest takeaway on Instagram stories - just be sure to tag @susannerieker so I can see them. 🎓 To learn more about how to work with me or to get instant access to freebies, trainings and more go to www.susannerieker.com. 🙏❤️

    Scaling to $10K Months (Part 2/3): Making Your Business Actually Sell

    You've gotten clear on your positioning. You've built a solid offer. You know what you're selling and who it's for. And then... nothing happens. Or at least, not consistently. In part 1 of this little series on how to scale to $10k months, we covered brand positioning and your offer suite. In this episode, I'm breaking down the two shifts that actually get people to buy: your messaging and your sales process. In this episode: 🔥 Why messaging needs to focus on transformation, not features 🔥 The problem with traditional funnel advice (fake timers and manipulation) 🔥 How I built an aligned evergreen system using simple, free tools 🔥 Using marketing psychology without lying or creating fake urgency Next week in Part 3: The leadership shift—the internal work that has to happen alongside all the strategy. 🔗 Links mentioned: Apply for the Blissful Biz Mastermind (6 spots, we start March 2nd): https://susannerieker.com/mastermind Low Ticket Mojo — turn your yoga wisdom into a small digital offer that brings in daily sales: https://susannerieker.com/lowticketmojo 💖 If you liked this episode, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts – your feedback really makes a difference. 📆 Never miss a new episode and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. ✨ Share your biggest takeaway on Instagram stories - just be sure to tag @susannerieker so I can see them. 🎓 To learn more about how to work with me or to get instant access to freebies, trainings and more go to www.susannerieker.com. 🙏❤️

    Scaling to €10K Months (Part 1/3): Why You're Stuck at €3K

    If you're a yoga teacher running an online business and making €2,000 to €4,000 a month, you've probably been told that the solution is more content, more followers, better marketing tactics. But the gap between where you are now and consistent €10K months is almost never tactical. It's strategic. In this first episode of a three-part series, I'm walking through the first two things that have to shift when you're ready to scale your online yoga business to that next level: your brand positioning and your offer suite. I'm also sharing my own experience with niching down to yoga teachers, why I tried to broaden my positioning and what happened when I did, and how I had a six-figure year selling just one offer while traveling Europe in my campervan. In this episode: Why working harder isn't what gets you to €10K monthsWhat brand positioning actually means and why most yoga teachers get stuck hereThe real reason niching down makes you stronger, not smallerWhy a low-priced membership or online course alone won't get you to six figuresWhat a simple, strategic offer suite actually looks likePart 2: Messaging and sales process — what has to shift for people to actually buy. 🔗 Links mentioned: Apply for the Blissful Biz Mastermind (6 spots, we start March 2nd): https://susannerieker.com/mastermind Low Ticket Mojo — turn your yoga wisdom into a small digital offer that brings in daily sales: https://susannerieker.com/lowticketmojo 💖 If you liked this episode, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts – your feedback really makes a difference. 📆 Never miss a new episode and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. ✨ Share your biggest takeaway on Instagram stories - just be sure to tag @susannerieker so I can see them. 🎓 To learn more about how to work with me or to get instant access to freebies, trainings and more go to www.susannerieker.com. 🙏❤️

    Why I'm Done Selling Memberships (And What I'm Building Instead)

    For a long time, I believed memberships were one of the most sustainable models you could build. I had run them before, I had seen them work, and that’s why I relaunched the Blissful Biz Hive last November. What I didn’t expect was how much harder it felt to grow this time. Not because people didn’t see the value, but because joining something ongoing seemed to come with more hesitation than it used to. In this episode, I talk about what I’ve been noticing beneath the surface, why the decision to join a membership often feels heavier than the price suggests, and why “maybe later” so rarely turns into a yes. I also share the shift I’m making in my own business, what I’m building instead of leading with a membership, and how small, focused, one-time offers are creating more trust and momentum right now. If you’ve been struggling with a membership, or wondering whether it should be the starting point at all, this episode will give you a clearer way to think about it. ➡️ FREE MASTERCLASS If you want to see how this actually comes together in practice, sign up for my free masterclass where I’ll walk you through the full system. You’ll learn: 🔥 what makes an offer truly irresistible (so you’re not just creating another course) 🔥 how premium offers, free trainings, and low-ticket offers work together as one system 🔥 how to set up a simple evergreen funnel that supports consistent sales without burnout Save your spot here: https://susannerieker.com/masterclass 💖 If you liked this episode, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts – your feedback really makes a difference. 📆 Never miss a new episode and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. ✨ Share your biggest takeaway on Instagram stories - just be sure to tag @susannerieker so I can see them. 🎓 To learn more about how to work with me or to get instant access to freebies, trainings and more go to www.susannerieker.com. 🙏❤️

    Online Courses Are Dead (Here’s What to Offer Instead as a Yoga Teacher)

    For years, yoga teachers were told that creating a self-study online course was the path to freedom and scalability. Create the content once, sell it at a mid-range price, and let funnels do the rest. But over the last few years, that model has quietly stopped working for many people. In this episode, I explain why online courses aren’t selling the way they used to, what has actually changed in the market, and what I see working far better right now for yoga teachers and wellness professionals. This isn’t about trends or tactics. It’s about understanding how people buy, learn, and commit today — and designing your offers accordingly. ➡️ FREE MASTERCLASS If you want to see how this actually comes together in practice, sign up for my free masterclass where I’ll walk you through the full system.

    What Actually Creates Consistent Income in a Yoga Online Business

    If you’re a yoga teacher who’s showing up, creating content, offering workshops, challenges, memberships, or courses, but your income still feels unpredictable, this episode is for you. In this video, I’m sharing what actually creates consistent income in a yoga online business in 2026 — based on what I see working right now and what I’ve built my own business on. I talk about why constantly creating new offers leads to fragmentation and burnout, why simplicity creates stability, and why building one strong signature offer supported by a clear sales system matters far more than doing more. This isn’t about being louder, posting more, or chasing visibility. It’s about focus, clarity, and building trust with the right people. ➡️ DOORS ARE OPEN FOR THE BLISSFUL BIZ HIVE 🐝 A membership for yoga teachers who want to grow their audience, clarify their message, and make consistent sales — with weekly coaching, a proven pathway, and a supportive global community. 👉 https://susannerieker.com/blissfulbizhive 💖 If you liked this episode, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts – your feedback really makes a difference. 📆 Never miss a new episode and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. ✨ Share your biggest takeaway on Instagram stories - just be sure to tag @susannerieker so I can see them. 🎓 To learn more about how to work with me or to get instant access to freebies, trainings and more go to www.susannerieker.com. 🙏❤️
