For small business owners
You can see the business. You just can't see the first step.
Whether you're turning an idea into a real business or trying to steady one that's already running, you don't need more inspiration. You need a clear plan, a real budget, and someone who's done it to show you the order.
Sound familiar?
You've been "almost ready" to launch for months, and you're not sure what's actually holding you back.
You have a dozen tabs open on LLCs, licenses and business plans, and none of them agree.
You don't know what it will really cost to open, or how long until it pays you back.
You're already in business, but you're running everything yourself and the business is running you.
You're not behind. You're missing a map. That's fixable.

Why work with me
I've built businesses at every size.
I was a Director at a Fortune 50 company, leading international growth and managing thousands of employees. Then I left to build my own: a therapy private practice and Tuladhara Yoga, now three studios in Tacoma, Lakewood and Gig Harbor.
I'm also a licensed therapist and SPHR-certified HR professional. So we'll work on the plan, and on the patterns and fears that keep you from following it.
Questions
I only have an idea. Is this too early for me?
No. The scorecard and Kit are made for this stage. They help you test the idea and plan before you spend real money.
I'm already in business. Is this still for me?
You are free to edit, rebrand and adapt every document for use in your own studios training. What you can't do is resell or redistribute the curriculum itself to other studios or teachers. The purchase agreement spells this out plainly.
Do I need a business plan to get a loan or open?
The curriculum is structured around RYS-200 competencies, with an hour breakdown mapping contact hours, practicum, homework, and class observations to the full 200. Registering your school with yoga alliance remains your studios choice and responsibility.
Will this tell me which business structure or licenses I need?
Yes, you need to provide the qualified teacher. The facilitator manual walks you through every module objectives, session flow, key concepts, activities, and the questions students most often ask.
What if I want help with something specific?
Digitally, in editable formats so you can customize and print your own materials. You'll have everything you need to open enrollment for your next cohort.
