Hey, I’m Eli!

Business Coach for yoga teachers who want to turn their passion into a Business

I found yoga when I was 32, and started teaching at 35.

At 38, I left my business managing job to follow my passion for teaching yoga. I learned how to turn in is a sustainable business and since then I’ve sold retreats, workshops, courses, plans, memberships, packages, privates.

Today, I’ve worked with many yoga teachers and studio owners, and I help them learn the skill of making money, how to focus on service above all else, and how to truly enjoy their work while achieving their goals.

You probably became a yoga teacher because of the impact yoga had on your life, and a desire to bring that impact to as many people as possible, but you don’t know where to start?

I can help you!

Do you want to start your yoga business? Do you want to open a yoga studio but are worried about it?

Do you just want some direction for your business ideas? Are you organising your first retreat and you are totally lost in understanding the financials?

Transitioning from yoga student to yoga business owner can be challenging.

How do you convert passion into financial success?

Whether you’re a newly certified teacher wondering how to get your business off the ground or discover the path to a future that transforms your passion for yoga into a career I can help you in the direction you want to go through my business coaching and consulting services. I feel such joy in helping others make their dreams come true and I am always open and honest about how I opened my yoga studio, my retreat business and my coaching platform; the ups and downs, the challenges and the successes!

Little bit about me now.

I have a degree in business and two masters, one of which is in Business Administration (MBA) focussing on Strategic Management. I have a publication on strategic business and did work to develop business skills for my teams during my management years. In addition to these education, during my corporate life, I did invest in learning more about international business and business development. During my years as a manager I worked in close contact with universities and organisations as a mentor to empower young professionals to facilitate and help them in vital aspects of their career. I worked for over 15 years in commercial roles and I spent my whole career in various positions of sales in different industries, owning a yoga studio and selling yoga classes, workshops and retreats.

This is for you if ...

  • You’ve done teacher training already (or are currently in it)

  • You know yoga changed your life and you want to bring that to others

  • You feel passionate about teaching yoga, but sometimes worry that’s not a possibility or a “valid” career choice

  • The only way to earn what you want to seems to be waking up at 4am and teaching until 9pm, and you feel tired just thinking about it

  • Marketing feels overwhelming and you are often not sure what to post

  • The thought of selling gives you the ick

  • You want to fill up your classes and have students coming back again and again

  • You want to make money teaching yoga and need help figuring out how

  • "Eli has helped me to discover issues, which were previously in my blind spot. I could sense that my energy was not flowing optimally, but could not put a finger at the issue itself. Regarding the issues I was aware of, the coaching left me with a feeling of empowerment to tackle these areas and sometimes even tackle them with a renewed, refreshed perspective. At times our thoughts tend to go down a certain road and then it's good to be reminded of all the other possible roads and to zoom-out to see the broader map."

  • “I would recommend Eli to all my fellow yoga teachers that don’t just want to teach regular classes twice per day or more, and to those who want to give to their clients more debt and what yoga can offer. Eli gave me the right path to follow in order to succeed in my business.”
