We are a society of vanity who puts a lot of weight (pun intended) into how much people weigh. As leaders in the fitness community, it is our role to change that conversation.

It was my 20th patent including the US and Worldwide and it represented a significant milestone for me.
Innovation is the heart our company and we are proud of the intellectual property we’ve been able to obtain.

As I’ve prepared to open my second yoga studio, I’ve spent an enormous amount of time in local business networking events. This blog post is not as much about the hard skills of business ownership, per se.

Generating leads is a vital part of growing your business. I’ve shared some of the techniques I use to generate leads in previous blog posts. However, generating leads alone will not bring you financial success – you must have a solid system in place to convert those leads into regular paying clients.
