More Than a Yoga Studio - Barefoot Studio

Team Subkit -

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Brianna Arndt, owner of Barefoot Studio, located in Tucson, AZ, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

Barefoot Studio is a yoga studio for those who have bodies that have some years of life experience. We talk to the body and adjust classes, at the moment, to take care of our student's specific needs. Our highly supportive community makes it easy to make Barefoot Studio your yoga home.

Tell us about yourself

I have been in the wellness industry for over 20 years. My background began in bodywork as a medical massage therapist. I founded the studio in 2011 and have since created both a 200 and 300 hours yoga program. Decades of experience with body ailments seamlessly blend with the thoughtful yoga classes created.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Attracting like-minded individuals to make and keep this community thriving has been a blessing I am forever grateful for.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Time management and getting through COVID has been the greatest challenge.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Dream big, but let it be fluid. Letting go of rigidity in our plan allows for needed shifts to occur with ease.
  2. Create your perfect environment. The business works better when you are happy to be there.
  3. Know that there is no such thang as perfect. Get out there and just go for it. Changes are inevitable. You will forever be adjusting your business, so just go for it.

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

There is magic in being a part of and positivity adding to the community you live in. I am overjoyed that Barefoot Studio has been able to do just that in Tucson for so long.
