Maintain Your Youth & Vitality - Monica D Yoga
Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and fitness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Monica Delius, Owner of Monica D Yoga, located in Burnsville, MN, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Monica D Yoga offers virtual one-on-one private customized yoga services for women 40+ who do not want to practice in a gym or yoga studio. Sessions are designed to improve overall strength, flexibility, and balance, help lower stress levels, and are accessible for all fitness levels and body shapes.
Tell us about yourself
I have been a certified yoga instructor for over a decade and have taught in a variety of settings. One thing that I noticed was that there was an entire demographic of women who never felt comfortable practicing in a studio or were unable to for a variety of reasons. When they would search online for yoga, more often than not, they would stumble onto videos of very athletic, slender, super flexible women.
They would get discouraged because they didn't think yoga was meant for them. I am passionate about showing women that a yoga practice can be tailored to any fitness level, age, body shape, injury, etc.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Overcoming my fear of going online with my business and doing it anyway.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
When you start a business, you often do everything on your own. Sometimes things work out, and sometimes they don't. The hardest part is sticking to it on the days that things do not work out.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Don't give up when you think something isn't working. Go back and re-evaluate without emotions and factually look at what can be refined.
- Find a mentor or hire a coach.
- Create a strategy to follow instead of winging things in your business.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
If someone is interested in my services, I always schedule a trial session with them. It is important that they feel comfortable working with me and get an idea of what to expect in a session.
