102: Slow Down To See The Blueprint Inside You | Business On Your Terms – TARA STILES

Tara Stiles (@tarastiles) has had a huge impact on my life and career ever since the day I walked into Strala, her yoga studio in Soho, in 2012. Tara is who I got my yoga teacher training certification with, and I was lucky to make her a heart bowl breakfast and even share a recipe in "Make your own rules cookbook."  Tara Stiles is one of the first people to start sharing yoga videos on YouTube, a bestselling author, and founder of a global yoga training business that's radically different. There is presence, ease and quiet wisdom about Tara, and I'm excited to share this business-focused conversation to you. In this episode, we cover:  Why it's important to carve your own path in business instead of a cookie cutter approach How working at a Pizza Hut and doing ballet led Tara to yoga Tara's business trajectory and current business model of Strala Yoga How she became one of the first yoga teachers on YouTube in 2007 How to overcome criticism and stand for what you believe in How to make burnout impossible  Path of you over path of yoga  Trusting the unknown  Why to "find your thing" as a conscious entrepreneur, it's important to release the need to "have a thing"  Why Tara said no to venture capital  The trap of social media and how to stay true to yourself  Social media as an open channel to being of service  See all show notes on wokeandwired.com Connect with Tara Stiles:  @tarastiles @stralayoga Stralayoga.com Mentioned in intro:  The Cacao Portal Experience #101: Cacao Ceremony and Frequency Healing with Erin Eber  #14: Cacao Ceremony and Maya Cosmovision with Florencia Fridman Resources: The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success: A Pocketbook Guide to Fulfilling Your Dreams by Deepak Chopra Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda The Business Of Fashion Connect with Woke & Wired:  If you enjoyed the podcast, share it with a friend and on your Instagram stories (tag @wokeandwired so I can see it).
