If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the endless "to-do" list of Instagram algorithms, SEO keywords, and content funnels—stop. The game is about to change entirely. In this deep-dive "thinking" episode, we explore the massive shift happening in 2026: the move from Screens to Ambient Computing. With Apple and Google partnering on a new AI-powered Siri, and rumors of camera-equipped AirPods and Jony Ive’s new "iPhone of AI," the way students find your studio is shifting from "Search and Click" to "Look and Ask." We break down exactly what this "Star Trek Moment" means for your business, why "Perfection" is now a red flag on social media, and give you a specific 2026 Playbook to future-proof your studio today. In This Episode, You Will Learn: • The "Star Trek" Shift: Why we are moving from a "Library" economy (searching for answers) to a "Concierge" economy (asking for answers). • The Apple + Google Signal: What the historic partnership between these two giants means for your local SEO (and why Siri is about to get a PhD). • Hardware Rumors: The inside scoop on "Project B798" (AirPods with cameras) and the Ray-Ban Meta glasses—and how they will "read" your physical studio signage. • The "Ghost Town" Penalty: Why Google’s new AI hates static websites and how to prove to the algorithm that your business is alive. • The Anti-Aesthetic: Why Adam Mosseri (Head of Instagram) says "Shares" are the new "Likes," and why low-fidelity, messy video is crushing polished ads. • The "Audio Audit": A simple test to see if your website is ready for the Voice AI era.

Text me Your email for my Booking Link In this Season 6 kickoff episode, Michael sits down with Aurielle Vendemmia, founder of True Moon Yoga & Fitness, for a powerful conversation about what it really takes to build a sustainable, thriving Yoga Studio community. Aurielle shares her 20-year journey from opening studios out of survival, to running five locations, to intentionally scaling back to one boutique Yoga Studio built around nervous system regulation, clear leadership, and deep community connection. This episode is for Yoga Studio owners who want to create a business that supports both their students and their own life — while building a loyal, committed community that actually sticks around. In This Episode, You’ll Learn • How Aurielle opened her first Yoga Studio without a business plan • Why running multiple studios led to burnout — and how she rebuilt with intention • How a serious accident reshaped her approach to movement and leadership • Why nervous system regulation matters for long-term community trust • How consistent class structure creates safety for students and teachers • What sustainable staffing and delegation really look like • How to use data instead of emotion to design a Yoga Studio schedule • Marketing strategies that attract the right students into your community • Why not being “for everyone” builds a stronger Yoga Studio Quote from the Episode “Burnout is not a badge of honor. If your business only works when you’re exhausted, it’s not actually working — it’s extracting from you.” About Aurielle Vendemmia Aurielle Vendemmia is the founder of True Moon Yoga & Fitness, a boutique heated Yoga Studio that blends yoga, strength training, Pilates-inspired movement, and nervous-system-aware teaching. After opening her first studio in 2007 and eventually running five locations, she intentionally returned to one Yoga Studio so she could create a space rooted in consistency, boundaries, and long-term community sustainability for both students and teachers.

Text me Your email for my Booking Link “You can have multiple income streams and run a thriving Yoga Studio — as long as you have a plan and a team aligned with your values.” – Aly, Summit Sol Yoga & Wellness I sit down with Aly from Summit Sol Yoga & Wellness in Dillon, Colorado — a studio owner who brings a rare blend of executive leadership, yoga philosophy, and grounded business strategy into everything she does. Aly didn’t walk away from her career in healthcare technology. She expanded her life. She found yoga during a period of anxiety, traveled to India to study it, and eventually stepped into studio ownership with intention, clarity, and a real business plan. Within three months of buying her studio, she rebranded it, aligned her team around new values, elevated the customer experience, and built a studio that became profitable in year one. Inside this conversation, we get into: • What it’s really like to take over an existing Yoga Studio • Rebranding fast — without losing the community • Leading a team you didn’t hire and setting new expectations • Building systems, KPIs, and processes that keep the business stable • How technology supports growth • Creating seasonal programming that feels aligned and sustainable • How to balance multiple income streams without burning out Aly brings a powerful reminder that yoga and leadership can coexist beautifully — and that a Yoga Studio becomes profitable when there’s a vision, a structure, and a willingness to step fully into ownership. Her story is honest, refreshing, and full of insight for any Yoga Studio owner who wants to grow with confidence instead of chaos. summitsolwellness.com 📅 Want support in your Yoga Studio?

Text me Your email for my Booking Link “You can’t grow what you don’t measure — but once you measure it, you can design a studio that feels as good as it looks on paper.” In this episode, Michael Jay breaks down exactly how he helps yoga studios around the world plan for the new year — using real booking system data, not guesswork. You’ll learn: • Why your attendance and sales tell two completely different stories — and why both matter. • The high-energy windows every yoga studio should plan around: early November, Black Friday, early December, and early January. • The natural low periods you need to protect (hello, February 👋). • The five data checkpoints every owner should track — in normal human language, not “corporate KPI speak.” • How to use your booking data to build your 2026 rhythm, plan cash flow, and stop scrambling. • Michael also shares what he’s seeing across the studios he coaches worldwide — the real reasons some owners are thriving while others are still reacting to every dip and slow week. “You can’t grow what you don’t measure — but once you measure it, you can design a studio that feels as good as it looks on paper.” 🎯 Next Steps: • Pull your attendance + sales reports and look at your 2025 pattern. • Color-code your high-energy and low-risk months.

Text me Your email for my Booking Link "Studios that win aren’t the cheapest in town — they’re the ones where people feel seen, supported, and connected." In this episode, I’m joined by Chris Appiah and Stephanie Breaux Bradley of The Sales Arms for a deep dive into what’s really working for fitness and yoga studios moving towards 2026. We talk candidly about lead generation, why community beats discounts every time, and how studio owners can finally stop wasting money on ads that don’t convert. Stephanie sharesthe importance of yoga as a “third space” for mental health and connection. Together, we break down how studios can stop chasing low-price intro offers and instead lean into the emotional benefits and belonging that people are craving. We get real about: • Why price-based marketing is a trap and how to shift into experience-based messaging • The “three T’s” (tech, team, and training) that every studio needs to operate like a business • How to create multiple doorways for new students beyond the standard intro pass • What real lead follow-up looks like (hint: 10–20 touchpoints, not two emails) • How to prescribe class schedules so students succeed instead of floundering • Ways to use software properly — not just to collect leads, but to actually track, nurture, and convert them Chris and Steph are in the trenches with studios every day, helping owners stop bleeding leads and start creating predictable growth.

Text me Your email for my Booking Link "If you’re planning a Mother’s Day promo the week before, it’s already too late. Studios need to be at least 8 weeks ahead." In this episode, Stephanie Breaux Bradley and I talk about something every studio owner struggles with: planning your year before it runs away from you. We dig into how studio owners can finally stop winging their promotions and start using strategic calendar planning to drive revenue, build community, and keep their members consistent all year long. Stephanie shares examples from her own community events — from football-themed challenges to car shows to candlelight yoga for charity — and how these grassroots promotions worked because they were planned with intention and tied to the local community. We also talk through: • Why being at least 8 weeks ahead on your marketing calendar is the minimum standard for success • How to use local events, health days, and holidays to anchor your promotions • The importance of documenting events right after they happen so you can refine and repeat them next year • Balancing holiday promotions like Black Friday without overwhelming your members • Creative ways to appreciate your staff and members through events and celebrations • How planning provides control, structure, and routine for both you and your community I also share a sneak peek at Plan26 — my upcoming free resource with World Health Days, seasonal prompts, and planning tools to help studio owners map out their 2026 calendar with less stress and more strategy.

Text me Your email for my Booking Link What makes a yoga studio thrive? It’s not the logo, the schedule, or even the space — it’s the teachers and the point of view that your studio holds. In this special “podcast buddy” episode, I sit down with Francesca Cervero, host of The Mentor Sessions Podcast and long-time private yoga teacher and mentor. Francesca has been teaching yoga full-time for over 20 years, runs a teacher training called The Science of the Private Lesson, and mentors yoga teachers to develop a strong, authentic teaching voice. Together, we explore the evolving yoga industry, the role of studio owners in elevating their teachers, and why having a clear point of view is more powerful (and sustainable) than trying to be everything to everyone. What you’ll hear in this episode: • How yoga studios have shifted from community-led to franchise-driven — and back again • Why teachers fresh out of training aren’t always ready for studio life (and how to mentor them well) • The difference between “niching down” and developing a true teaching point of view • Why your yoga studio is only as strong as the teachers who represent it • How community studios today can compete with franchise-level tools • Real talk about industry changes, competition, and what makes studios sustainable in 2025 and beyond Links & Resources: Connect with Francesca → francescacervero.com Listen to The Mentor Sessions Podcast with Francesca Book a free strategy call with me → yogabizchamp.link/book Book a complimentary 45 minute strategy session with the sales arms with my link https://www.thesalesarms.com/yogabizchamp Yoga Biz Champ listeners get 50% off the first 3 months of Offering Tree with my exclusive link www.offeringtree.com/yogabizchamppodcast Book a call with Mitch McGinley from the Boutique Fitness Brokers with my link.

This is a grounded, inspiring conversation about what it really looks like to grow a yoga studio—especially when you're not a franchise, not a chain, but a local community-based space.
