Bonus: Done Is Better Than Perfect; Starting a Podcast with Alana Tukuniu #studentspotlight

The Business Of Teaching Yoga

Lana and I first met, many, many moons ago when she attended a 50 HR Yin YTT that I was leading, fast forward another year and Lana and I got to hang out for a month straight in 2019, when she attended the very last 200 HR YTT I ever led. But long before Lana became a yoga teacher, she was serving her community in Niue with a brick & mortar massage business.

I was so excited to have Lana join me on the podcast, because in the last year, she has started her own podcast, Love Letters From Lana. One of my favorite episodes is called “If you had permission to put yourself first, what would you do?” If you’re a recovering people pleaser like me, I highly recommend you go check it out - it’s a short, 5 minute example of what it looks like when a business owner puts themselves first.

Lana’s voice is super enjoyable to listen to, and she offers bite sized episodes that will invite you deeper into your inner life.
