Free Your Creativity and Nourish Your Soul, Opening a Yoga Studio with Heather Jolma-Fray
May 03, 2022As someone who grew up in an entrepreneurial family, starting a business seemed like a natural step for my guest, Heather Jolma-Fray. And in today’s episode, we unpack how she came to open her own yoga studio, and what that journey was like for her.
Heather says that part of what appealed to her about studying yoga and learning how to teach movement and mindfulness was this idea that she could play with how to schedule her own time and how to create classes that she really liked to teach. She also mentions that part of the appeal was that she could move around and teach where she wanted. As entrepreneurs, we all dream of and enjoy this “lifestyle freedom,” but it usually comes with some work as well.
Heather and I also talked about how entrepreneurship allowed her to be the creative person that she feels like she is and to live life with a certain amount of creativity, and fun, and joy that we get to play with to make our living.
And even with the responsibility, Heather feels like entrepreneurship was all encompassing in a good way. It required her creativity and her focus. She says she felt like she could give all of herself to her work and make it what she wanted, put things where she wanted them to be, figure out systems that worked well for her and her clients, rather than having to adapt to something that maybe didn't fit super well.
Listen to this episode, because there is so much more that we talk about, like bringing kids to work, and getting to fill your days with the relationships and things that nourish us.
