“My Goal Was Freedom”: How Charlie Follows Built a 1 Million Strong Yoga Community

Today on the podcast, I speak with Charlie Follows, a YouTube yogi who has built a community of over one million people. She began her career teaching in studios, but quickly realized that creating a balanced, sustainable life wasn’t possible by simply adding more in-person classes. At one point, she was teaching up to 20 classes a week, driving between studios, and trying to make ends meet, it wasn’t sustainable. So, Charlie began the transition to YouTube.Today, she’s created over 1,000 free yoga videos, built a thriving online business, and recently launched her first teaching program to help other yoga instructors turn their virtual content into a career. In this episode, we explore Charlie’s childhood, growing up as an only child, navigating a rebellious phase in high school, and how she ultimately found her way back to herself through yoga. This is a conversation about building a life on your own terms, and a reminder to never judge a book by its cover.Don’t forget to follow, subscribe, and join the Seasoned Professional community, a space for stories worth sharing.🔗 Links from the episodeCharlie Follows on InstagramYoga Teacher SchoolCharlie Follows on YouTubeCharlie Follows Yoga ProgramsNicole Addison's EpisodeJudah Armani's Episode❤️ Subscribe to my channel for moreYouTube📲 Find Hannah Octavia & Seasoned Professional on social media!Seasoned Professional on Instagram Hannah Octavia on InstagramTikTokSubstackSee you next Tuesday!xx Hannah Octavia(Theme music curtesy of Fran Lusty's song, "Functioning Adult") Hosted on Acast.
