Business of Yoga: 3 pillars of Warrior One Yoga plus 8 key learnings in 8 years

In today’s episode, Nova shares the three key pillars that have contributed to the growth of Warrior One Yoga. This episode is going to be so helpful for you if you’re a yoga teacher in training and you’re looking to soon be teaching in studios, corporates or online or you plan to open up your own studio in the future.

The first pillar is our warm and inviting studios themselves. We have intentionally designed each of our three studios to be aesthetically pleasing with a huge focus on creating a beautiful experience for our clients. Nova shares how we do this through tangible elements such as textures in the fitouts, lighting, music and incense. 

The second pillar is the carefully curated teaching team that is given complete creative freedom to develop their own classes. Nova talks about the process we go through to create a team that is so cohesive and how we focus on continuing to develop and support our teachers. 

The third pillar is community, which is built through events, workshops, retreats, and trainings. Building community takes time and Nova shares how often it’s the little things that build connection, which is why we place a big emphasis on checking in and out at reception to help each person feel seen and genuinely cared for. 

Nova also shares eight lessons that she follows to this day. These include starting lean, finding your strengths and hiring your weaknesses, setting achievable goals, not taking things personally in business, and being persistent. We believe that taking feedback from customers is essential for the growth of the business and we encourage every teacher to do the same. Nova also stresses the importance of being persistent in pursuing goals, reflecting on her experience in getting Aro Ha, a retreat in New Zealand, on board after months of persistence.

Through these three pillars and eight lessons, Warrior One Yoga has grown to include three studios that are distinct but share similarities in their focus on creating a calming and grounding atmosphere for yoga practice. We know you’re going to get so much out of this episode today.
