How to Position Your Skool Community to Make $5K+ a Month (+ 5 Ideas)
2026/10/20
Are you a yoga teacher or wellness entrepreneur thinking about starting a community on Skool, or do you already have one that isn’t growing the way you hoped?
Then the most important question is whether your community is built around something people already want, or something you’d first have to convince them they need. That one difference decides whether it becomes a nice little extra in your business or a real source of recurring income every month.
In this episode, I’m sharing:
➡️ What two of the most successful health communities on Skool are doing differently, and how much they bring in every month
➡️ How to position your community so the right people immediately know it’s for them
➡️ Where your yoga, breathwork, Ayurveda or other modality fits in, and why it shouldn’t be the whole story
➡️ 5 Skool community ideas you could build around your own teaching, a few of which I’d personally pay for right now
➡️ What the numbers could look like for a much smaller community, because you don’t need thousands of members for this to change your business

What I'm Focusing on Now to Grow My Business to Multiple 6 Figures in 2027
2026/10/12
Have you ever looked at other online business owners with all their funnels and automations and wondered if that’s the piece you’re missing to finally grow?
I wondered the same thing this year, so I joined a business program to learn how to do it all. It took me very little time to realise something I didn’t expect, and it changed the direction of my business and what I want to teach you.
In this episode I’m pulling back the curtain on what I’m focusing on to grow Blissful Biz to multiple six figures in 2027. I’ll tell you how many members the Hive has right now and how much it actually brings in each month, which might surprise you, and why that number made me completely rethink how I create recurring revenue. I’ll also share how one premium program made more than $250,000 while I spent half the year travelling in my camper van, and why I’m bringing that kind of offer back in a very different way.
If you’re a yoga teacher who wants to grow without taking on more tech and more complexity, I think this episode will feel like a big exhale.
FREE MASTERCLASS: How to Build a $5K/Month Yoga or Wellness Business on Skool
Join me live on Thursday, October 15th. I’ll walk you through the Skool Profit Path, show you how a paid community and a premium membership fit together, and share more about the Blissful Biz Accelerator, where I’ll be working closely with a small founding group of experienced yoga teachers and wellness entrepreneurs.

What It Really Takes to Build a Yoga Business Between Sweden and India With Bobbi Paidel
2026/10/05
What does it really take to build a yoga business when you don't want a nine to five, you live between countries, and the money doesn't always come in when you need it?
In this episode I'm talking to my sweet former student Bobbi Paidel, a yoga teacher from Canada with more than 20 years of study in yoga, meditation and non-dual philosophy, who now splits her year between Sweden and India. Bobbi shares what it has looked like behind the scenes to build a business from classes, retreats, an online membership and her podcast A Curious Yogi, and why she has learned to be okay with the slow burn while it all grows.
She's also really open about the parts that didn't go to plan, from the yoga collective in Sweden that left her hitting the wall to the moment she had only five people registered for a retreat in Norway two weeks before it started. We talk about how she went from believing yoga is for everybody to knowing exactly who she's speaking to, and what it looks like to build a life and business across three countries when there's no plan B.

Stop Selling Yoga. Solve a Problem People Actually Have.
2026/09/21
If you’re trying to build an online yoga or wellness business, it can feel nearly impossible to stand out.
Because if you’re offering generic online yoga classes, you’re competing with thousands of free videos on YouTube, yoga apps, and established teachers with huge personal brands. If someone doesn’t know you yet, why would they choose you?
In this episode, I’m sharing a different way to think about your offer: start with a real-life problem your people actually want help solving, and then use yoga, breathwork, meditation, Ayurveda, or whatever your tools are to help them get there.
I’ll share a few things I would personally pay for right now, from help getting back to sleep at 3am to short strength workouts for women over 50, plus examples of entrepreneurs on Skool who are building successful communities around specific problems and desires.
We’ll also talk about how to identify a problem you could become known for solving, how to get beyond vague promises like “feel more balanced” or “reduce stress,” and why you don’t need to have your perfect niche figured out before you start.

"Yoga Shouldn't Be a Business" and Other Myths with George Kao
2026/09/14
Almost every time I launch something, at least one person tells me that yoga shouldn't be a business. If you've ever felt that quiet discomfort around selling your work, this conversation with George Kao is going to feel like a relief.
George Kao has been coaching heart-led entrepreneurs since 2009, and he's spent all of that time working out one question: how do you market and sell without manipulating anyone or losing yourself in the process. His answer is that authentic marketing is really just telling the truth in service of the people you want to help, or as he puts it, making friends at scale. In this episode we get into what that looks like in practice, and why it tends to work better over time than the pressure tactics so many of us have been sold.
We also talk about the tension that comes up for so many yoga teachers around money, including where the belief that spiritual work shouldn't be paid even comes from, and why George thinks it no longer serves us. And we spend a good while on AI, because George has automated most of his admin as a solopreneur and has a refreshing view on it: that using AI well frees you up to be more human in your business, not less. If you've been feeling the trust recession, or the quiet worry that being authentic means staying small, this one will leave you with a calmer, clearer way forward.

How Yoga Teachers Can Use AI in Their Business (Beyond ChatGPT)
2026/09/07
You’ve probably used ChatGPT to help with captions, emails, or class ideas, but have you ever thought about using AI to actually build something for your yoga business?
I’ve been experimenting with Claude lately, and I’ve created interactive tools that I honestly wouldn’t have known how to build myself. In this episode, I’m sharing how I’ve been turning existing resources into more interactive freebies, and some of the ways I’m using AI behind the scenes to make running my business easier.
And if you’ve been wondering what AI could actually help you do beyond writing content, I hope this gives you a few ideas to experiment with.
Create your first AI freebie with me
If you’d like to see how this works, I’m hosting a free live workshop on September 15th, where I’ll show you how to create your first interactive AI freebie.
We’ll build a manifestation card together using Claude, and you’ll see how you can turn your own ideas into something you can share with your audience, without needing to know how to code.

Behind the Scenes of My $1K Honey Flow Challenge: What Worked, What Didn't & What I Learned
2026/08/31
What really happens when you spend thousands on ads, bring hundreds of people into a free challenge... and the results aren't quite what you hoped for?
A few weeks ago, I hosted the $1K Honey Flow Challenge, a four-day live event designed to introduce a cold audience to my Honey Flow Method and ultimately bring new members into the Blissful Biz Hive.
In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes and sharing the real numbers, what worked better than I initially thought, what I would absolutely change next time, and some of the bigger business lessons this experiment brought up for me.

Building an Authentic Online Yoga Business with Arundhati Baitmangalkar
2026/08/25
Arundhati Baitmangalkar, host of the popular Let's Talk Yoga podcast, never planned to build any of this. She didn't set out to have a studio, a podcast, or an online yoga school. She just wanted to teach. And yet here she is, more than a decade later, with something recognizable and lasting.
In this episode we talk about how you stay authentic to yoga while building a business online, in a world that constantly pushes you toward the opposite.
Because that's the real tension, isn't it? You want to reach more people and build something sustainable, but so much of the online advice asks you to perform, to post constantly, to make it all about you. Arundhati has found another way, and it's rooted in something she keeps coming back to: you're not the point, the yoga is.
We get into the reframe she uses when showing up online feels like too much, why she spends less than ten minutes a day on Instagram, and how she thinks about success in a way that has nothing to do with follower counts or full classes. She also shares the question she asks every teacher who feels behind, and why building slowly might be the most authentic thing you can do.
If you've ever wondered whether you can grow a real online business without losing yourself in the process, this conversation is for you.

Why I Bet My Business on Community: Behind the Scenes of My Membership for Yoga Teachers
2026/08/17
A membership isn't the easiest way to make money. I'll be the first to tell you that. So why have I bet my whole business on one? In this episode I take you fully behind the scenes of the Blissful Biz Hive to answer exactly that.
The years of starting it, closing it, and starting it all over again. The three tiers I finally landed on, and the thinking behind each price that most people would never guess. And the platform I'm still completely obsessed with for building community, and why I think there's nothing better out there for it.
And if you've ever been unsure whether you should build a membership, a low-ticket offer, or something else entirely, stay with me to the end. Because I lay out exactly what I'd build if I were starting from wherever you are right now.

Is Substack Worth It for Yoga Teachers with Jo Hutton from Yoga for Tired People
2026/08/10
Is it still possible to grow an audience organically and build a real online business as a yoga teacher? Jo Hutton is living proof that it is.
Jo spent over 16 years teaching yoga in Newcastle, ran her own studio, and trained more than 50 yoga teachers. Today she has one of the most engaged wellness communities in the UK, with over 46,000 subscribers on Substack.
But the path there was anything but a straight line. In this conversation Jo shares the burnout that completely stopped her in her tracks, the quiet shift that slowly brought her back to life, and the video that got seen 8.6 million times and changed her business almost overnight.
We talk about how she actually builds engagement, why she stopped treating Instagram like a shop front, the surprising thing that made creating content feel so much easier for her, and how she turns casual followers into a warm email list that genuinely buys. If you've ever felt stuck on what to post, or quietly wondered whether you missed your window to grow online, this episode is going to give you a lot to think about.

"Help, Nobody's Buying Anymore." Here's Whats Really Going On
2026/08/03
Have you caught yourself thinking "nobody's buying anymore"? Maybe a launch landed with a quiet thud. Or maybe that fear is the exact reason you keep putting off creating a digital offer in the first place. Before you decide the moment for digital offers has passed, listen to this one.
Inside the episode I share what actually changed in the online yoga world, and why the way most yoga teachers learned to sell digital offers quietly stopped working. I also get honest about what happened in my own business when my signature program started getting harder to sell, and the two things that were really going on underneath it.
Then I walk through the one shift that makes a digital offer sell again, and the single question worth asking before you build anything at all. Plus why the demand for what you do is bigger than ever, even if it looks completely different from a few years ago, and why yoga teachers are actually early to this, not late.
If you have ever wondered whether it is simply too late to sell online, this episode is your answer.

Here's What I'd Do to Add $1,000 to My Monthly Income As A Yoga Teacher
2026/07/27
What would you actually do if your goal was to add $1,000 a month to your income, online, without teaching a single extra studio class or private?
That's the exact question I'm answering in this episode. Because an extra thousand dollars a month is genuinely life changing for so many yoga teachers, and it's also the doorway to everything that comes after it. But how you go about it matters enormously, and most teachers reach for the option that quietly keeps them stuck.
I'm walking through the different ways you could get there, including the two most people try first, and why they so often lead to lopsided months and a lot of stress. Then I'll show you the approach I'd actually choose if I were starting today, the numbers that make it feel doable instead of overwhelming, and the simple system running quietly in the background that turns it into steady, consistent income.
If you've been wondering where to even begin, this is the episode I'd want you to hear first.

Is the Fear of Selling Keeping Your Yoga Business Small?
2026/07/20
Do you have something you could sell right now? A course you created a while ago, a workshop recording, a small offer sitting quietly on your website. And every time you think about actually promoting it, something stops you.
In this episode, I'm getting into what's really behind that silence. Because for so many yoga teachers, the online business doesn't fail, it just quietly goes to sleep while the in-person schedule takes over. And the reason has nothing to do with your audience size, the algorithm, or your offer.
I'm walking you through the three mindset blocks that keep yoga teachers from selling, what avoiding the sale is actually costing you, and the reframe that changes how selling feels.
If your online business has been on pause for months or even years, this episode might be the nudge you've been waiting for.

Why I stopped selling what business coaches told me to (and what I'm doing instead)
2026/07/13
A few years ago I was living what most business coaches would call the dream. A six figure year, six months in a campervan, barely working, all of it carried by one premium program I sold for $5,000.
I don't sell that program anymore. And in this episode, I'm telling you why.
I'm taking you inside the rooms most coaches never talk about. The $20,000 mastermind where I learned to sell high ticket. The program I paid $1,200 a month for that gave me maybe five minutes of actual coaching per call, and what it taught me about who really carries the risk when you invest in a program.
If you've ever spent money on a program that disappointed you, if you've ever felt that icky feeling around selling and been told it's a mindset problem, or if you're building your own offers and wondering how to price them without becoming everything you can't stand about this industry, this episode is for you.

Why your freebie isn't bringing you students (and how I set up my new freebie funnel, step-by-step)
2026/07/06
I just got back from nearly three weeks in the Dolomites, travelling with my dog Luna in a campervan, and my freebie funnel kept running the entire time without me touching it. No big team, no weeks of preparation, just a handful of emails scheduled in advance and a system that was already built to work on its own.
In this episode, I break down exactly how that funnel works. Why a freebie has to solve one specific problem and lead naturally into your paid offer, what I put on the thank you page the second someone signs up, why I stopped waiting weeks before making an offer, and the email sequence I built that gives people two honest chances to say yes instead of one. I also talk about why so many yoga teachers give up on their freebie or their funnel too early, and why in almost every case, it's not the funnel that's broken. It's a traffic problem.
If your list is growing but the sales aren't following, this episode walks through what to check first.
