What if your yoga career attracted droves of engaged students, allowed you to make more positive impact in the world, and increased your bottom line?
Want to know a secret? It can.
The elusive goal of a thriving yoga career is attainable with the right strategies and techniques.
The average yoga teacher only makes $35,000 per year. That’s a lot of hustle for a little scratch. Many instructors spend oodles of hours per week driving all over town to teach umpteen classes…for which they are completely underpaid.
It’s time to change all that…
Imagine a new lifestyle where you can:
Develop and engage your community.
By thinking outside the box—and moving some of your business online with courses and classes—you are able to reach, curate and engage with a much bigger audience.
Step into the online space
before everyone else.
The landscape of yoga is changing swiftly. Be on the leading edge of that shift and reap the rewards of owning your own business, creating (and controlling) your own content, and leveraging your offerings for greater and greater success.
Make money while you nap, drink tea, or work on your backbend.Â
Create passive income streams so that your revenue goes up…and so does your free time. Whether it be taking that long-deserved vacation or having reserves for a rainy day, ensuring you have revenue streams is essential to your core stability.
Establish your loyal Social Media following.Â
How do you get new likes, new fans, more follows and more shares? Our tried and true techniques will radically boost your Social Media presence.
Maintain your yogic ideals while building a thriving business.Â
Your work is valuable. It’s time to overcome your potential “money blocks” and start earning at your FULL potential. Stop giving yourself away for free, and learn to offer valuable content while charging what you are worth. Finally.
“Before I put my entire business online and developed the world’s first 500-hour online yoga teacher certification, I struggled.
I drove all over creation, eating two meals a day in my car only to be underpaid as I taught umpteen yoga classes per week. I made less money than I needed to cover my essential bills, leaving me in greater and greater debt. With the guilt of yoga teachers, or perhaps not knowing my true value, I felt compelled to say “YES” to every teaching opportunity that came my way. I lived in constant, unending BURNOUT. 
Though I had invested thousands of dollars in my training as a yogi, I felt scared to charge what I was worth because of the stigma that spiritual teachings should be free.
Do you resonate with any of these statements? Most yoga teachers do. But there is a different way. 

I created The Upward Facing Business Academy™ to turn yogis into extraordinary yogi entrepreneurs.

Someone who calls the shots, charges what you’re worth (and adds tax!), owns your power as the expert in your niche, and utilizes the latest technology to reach the people who love you and make more impact with your gifts as a healer, spiritual leader, and teacher.”
XO,
WHERE ELSE YOU MAY HAVE SEEN ALANNA…
Here's Everything You Get
Clearly define your niche by discovering your true passion, and establish your expertise in the field so that you stand out amongst the crowd. Leverage your expertise by deciding on your core offering…the one thing that people come to know you for, and that students flock to take part in.
More than posting (and posing) fancy pictures, your favorite social media platforms (Facebook & Instagram) is the primary way to connect with your audience for exponential growth. You also learn the power of the email newsletter as a tool of connectivity; and the driving force behind your community: your email list.
On the internet, content is queen. But, where do you begin? How do you even create it? Learn how to bring your offerings online to give people what they want in a format that is accessible…and profitable! Create offerings strategically to leverage your work, grow your audience, create raving fans and repeat customers.
Your work needs a place to live; a home that showcases you, your talents, and your teachings. Discover the anatomy of a killer website, how to host your content, what makes a compelling sales page, and how to set up your online shop so that you open the doors and people find you.
Step into the spotlight of your growing community through video and live streams. Connecting with your audience authentically via video is a key element of translating yoga from the studio to the online space…but it’s not without its pitfalls. Start ahead of the game with tips and tricks for immediate (simple) success.
It’s time to put the work into action. Technology and marketing come together to manifest your online empire as you write compelling, uplifting copy for your audience, develop strategies for successful sales funnels, and learn tricks of the trade to keep your tribe engaged…and growing.
Talented yogis often want to do #allthethings. The secret to your success is to find your one thing and do it exceedingly well. This means carefully cutting out what is no longer necessary in your business model, saying goodbye to the right tasks, and outsourcing them to others who help you realize your vision.
The biggest obstacle to your success is how you view money. Many yoga teachers are trained that “spiritual teachings should be free.” This is not true, and locks you into a poverty mentality that sabotages you from the start. Learn to effectively release your money blocks and develop a new relationship to your inherent value that proudly allows you to never sell yourself short.
With a website, content, burgeoning tribe, and a cohesive message under your belt, your brand is 99% there. It’s time to step it up a notch and start reaching new audiences, testing your message with more comprehensive marketing…and advertising. Understanding ad strategy is essential for scaling your business!
It’s time for the bells and whistles. Using secret hacks, social media savvy, and little-known tech, turn your empire into a lead-generation and passive income machine. Tech tutorials walk you step-by-step so you get started on the right foot.
Success requires a successful mindset! Reclaim your daily practice, and leverage it for inspiration in your entrepreneurial endeavors. Discover successful time-management tools, inspirational scheduling tricks, and ways to integrate your yoga into your daily business routine.
Get a roadmap for continued success, a plan for scaling, what to add to your offerings next, and how to keep sales rolling in with evergreen techniques that allow you to focus on Doing. What. You. Love.
