Namaslay® Winter Business and Marketing Retreat in Scottsdale, Arizona
Learn how to market yourself and your business.
In recent years, our inbox has been flooded with questions from yoga instructors and budding entrepreneurs seeking business advice. They have ideas but aren't sure how to bring them to fruition. They want to lead retreats and workshops but aren't quite sure where to start. They are sick of working themselves to the bone and still struggling to make ends meet. While we could put together an online program (and we may at some point), if our Namaslay® Yoga Teacher Training has taught us anything, it's that there is power in being physically present with one another to have brainstorming sessions, dialogue and collaboration to make some real progress.
That's why we decided to put together a long weekend entrepreneurship centered retreat aimed to help. This isn't a vacation style retreat. Instead, this is a business retreat with a packed schedule of marketing, media, pitching, and business courses to help you leverage your expertise, develop and execute exciting workshops and retreats, and help you creatively earn passive income so you always have a steady monetary stream. Led by Candace Moore, best-selling author of Namaslay®, an international yoga instructor, YouTube partner, and founder of Mantra Box®, this retreat will help guide you on your way to living the best version of your life. You can expect to leave the retreat armed with marketing tools and business strategies to make your dreams a reality.
The Business and Marketing Program:
This long weekend yoga retreat includes five carefully designed business and marketing workshops to provide instruction, guidance and information surrounding the business of marketing yourself as a yoga instructor or business owner. You will also learn to pose for engaging and dynamic photos and will take part in guided phototshoot, leaving with a portfolio of photos to help market yourself and your company. Our goal is to instill the tools, resources, and proficiency for you to become a successful self-marketing, business-savvy and in-demand entrepreneur. We want you to leave this workshop feeling empowered and inspired in marketing yourself and your business to produce income and create a solid clientele base. The workshops include (for the full weekend itinerary, see The Schedule portion below):
