I’ve worked with Vani for over three and a half years, and I’ve watched her go from navigating the chaos of buying a legacy studio after COVID… to becoming a confident, grounded studio leader with a brand, schedule, team, and community that finally aligns with who she really is. If you’re a teacher dreaming of owning a Yoga Studio — or you’ve taken over an existing one and you’re still figuring out how to make it yours — Vani’s journey is going to feel honest, relatable, and incredibly inspiring. I’m so excited to share her story with you. We cover: – Yoga as part of daily life growing up in India – Four years of formal yoga + yoga therapy study before she ever taught – Moving to Australia and the “meant to be” moment she found Yoga Spirit – What it’s really like to buy an existing Yoga Studio post-COVID – Team dynamics, member expectations, and making bold decisions – Rebranding slowly and intentionally once the foundations were strong – Balancing traditional lineage with a modern Western yoga market – How mentoring helped Vani gain clarity, confidence, and direction Links Mentioned: Yoga Spirit Studios – Adelaide and 2026 India Yoga & Ayurveda Retreats <a href='https://www.yogaspirit.com.au'>https://www.yogaspirit.com.au</a> Yoga Spirit on Instagram <a href='https://www.instagram.com/yogaspiritadelaide'>https://www.instagram.com/yogaspiritadelaide</a> Vani’s personal Instagram <a href='https://www.instagram.com/yogasadhanawithvani'>https://www.instagram.com/yogasadhanawithvani</a> Connect with Michael / Yoga Biz Champ Free strategy call for Yoga Studio Owners 👉 <a href='https://www.yogabizchamp.com/book'>https://www.yogabizchamp.com/book</a>Book a complimentary 45 minute strategy session with the sales arms with my link <a href="https://www.thesalesarms.com/yogabizchamp">https://www.thesalesarms.com/yogabizchamp</a> Book a demo with Offering Tree with my <a href="https://www.offeringtree.com/studio-operations//?utm_source=yoga-biz-champ&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=book-a-demo ">Yoga Biz Champ link</a> Book a call with Mitch McGinley from the Boutique Fitness Brokers with my link. <a href="https://yogabizchamp.link/bfb">BOOK WITH MITCH HERE</a> FREE RESOURCES AND BOOK A CHAT LINK <a href='https://yogabizchamp.link/podlink'>https://yogabizchamp.link/podlink</a>
