Episode Description
This week I’m talking to Emma Manning.
Emma is a yoga teacher based in Kingston-upon-Thames in Surrey. Immediately after she qualified 3 years ago Em went all out to establish herself as a yoga teacher in her local community. She very quickly found a venue, had started to advertise and set her own classes up, regularly selling out spots. This was quickly followed by securing regular teaching slots at a number of local yoga studios in her area…even teaching at a local Sweaty Betty store. Since then Emma has also trained in Barre and teaches that too.
Emma exudes a quiet confidence and she very quickly started to make a living combining yoga teaching with her other new business idea, pet services. In fact, she was so successful at marketing herself that yoga became her main focus and the dog walking had to take a back seat! Well, not quite…a conversation with Emma wouldn’t be complete without mentioning her companion, always at her side, her little dog Bertie.
Like many of us, Emma had a career before becoming a yoga teacher…she worked in banking complaints…for 14 years…yes! Can you imagine? Dealing with angry people for that long? Well you don’t have to as we’re going to discuss this during the podcast.
Emma and I did our TT together so for those 200 hours a few years ago I got to know Emma pretty well but I’d like to know more about what led her to yoga as well as what she’s been doing since, so I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation.
Please let Emma know what you thought of this episode - you can contact her through her insta -it’s @Zen_with_Em
She recommends Gavin Luke as her Savasana Sounds - beautiful piano tracks - so check the artist out and see what you think.

I'll chat with the women leading the wellness and sustainability movements from business owners to physicians to provide you with all the tools you need to live your most fulfilling, joyful life without leaving a footprint!
The Connected Yoga Teacher Podcast
Shannon Crow (she/her)
The Connected Yoga Teacher Podcast is a place where yoga teachers can tune in each week to learn, connect with community and gain inspiration. After a yoga teacher training it can feel like being left out in the wilderness for yoga teacher entrepreneurs. The business side of yoga is often not talked about as much as philosophy, anatomy and other topics covered in a yoga teacher training. This podcast addresses the questions and challenges that yoga teachers face. Hear interviews with yoga teachers and other professionals on a variety of topics.
