Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and fitness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Yo Clark, Owner of Any Body Yoga, located in Memphis, TN, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
We are a yoga studio located physically Memphis, Tennessee. We offer mostly hybrid classes meaning virtual and in-person classes take place at the same time.
Tell us about yourself
I opened Any Body Yoga on January 1, 2019, after the yoga studio I taught at for 15 years closed. I believe that yoga is for Any Body. I wanted to reflect that belief and hold space for all body types, gender identities, and anything else that this world tries to separate people by. I wanted folks to be all of who they are for the hour they are in class.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
We are still open. The pandemic hit after we had been open a little over a year, and we had to shut down until the State deemed it safe to open with restrictions.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
No matter what your heart feels like, try not to take things personally.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Believe in your mission wholeheartedly.
- Surround yourself with others who believe in that mission too.
- Try not to take things personally.
