Starting with the basics

The Yamas

How you act, how you speak, how you treat people.

Not just on a mat, in life too

Ahimsa: non harming
Not just physical. Itā€™s how you speak, how you think, how you treat people (and yourself).

Satya: truthfulness
Being honest. Not just with others, but with yourself.

Asteya: non stealing
Not taking what isnā€™t yours. Time, energy, attentionā€¦ not just physical things.

Brahmacharya: moderation
This actually translates to celebacy, but let's be real... How are you using your energy? Where is it going? What are you giving your attention to that could be better used elsewhere?

Aparigraha: non attachment
Letting go. Not clinging to things, outcomes, or how you think things should be

Yoga is so much more than just postures

A few things weā€™ve learned over the years:

BIGGER DOES NOT ALWAYS MEAN BETTER
Growth looks exciting from the outside, but if the foundations arenā€™t solid, it can break everything. We were lucky, we managed to scale back just in time. It cost us a lot, but we survived. Many businesses never recover from this so donā€™t fall into the growth trap too soon.

WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN
Every business ebbs and flows. When things pick up, itā€™s tempting to spend more, new equipment, extra services, however that resonates for your business, but thatā€™s exactly when you need to be tighter. Keep a close eye daily on whatā€™s actually going out. You never know when things slow down again and youā€™re out of reserves.

AVOID THE VAT TRAP
We made decisions based on projections that didnā€™t play out. For a B2C business, this hit hard and affected pricing, margins and flexibility. VAT can be a wonderful tool for some businesses, and fatal for others. Do your research and trust your gut, which leads me on to our next point..

TRUST YOURSELF
Weā€™ve spent thousands on advice that didnā€™t fit our business. Accountants, marketing agencies etc. Useful, but they donā€™t live your day to day. No one understands your business like you do.
None of this is talked about enough. Delegating and outsourcing is great when done right, it frees you up for what you do best, and avoids burn out. But make sure you choose the right people and never underestimate your knowledge of your own craft.

Mistakes are unavoidable in business.

You figure most of it out as you go

learn from it.

Keep moving forward.

Thereā€™s a lot of pressure to feel ready before doing anything

To have the energy

The motivation

The right mindset

But most of the time, thatā€™s not how it works

The shift comes once youā€™re already doing the thing.

Being a business owner doesnā€™t always need to be all hustle, following trends and burning out

Weā€™ve learnt that the hard way.

Sometimes itā€™s about moving slower, staying consistent, and creating something that actually lasts.

In the west, yoga is often reduced to just movement.

But traditionally, asana was never the end goal, it was preparation

A way to ready the body to sit, to breathe, to observe

Practices like pranayama, dhyana and pratyahara are when the deeper work begins

Not in how something looks, but in how itā€™s experienced

This is the side of yoga we try to bring into everything we do

So many people feel like they have to earn time for themselves

Finish everything first.
Get everything done.
Then maybe take a break.

But it doesnā€™t really work like that.

Taking time for yourself is what allows everything else to work better.
