- Tim Dale of Yoga Tree is dropping some serious knowledge on running a yoga studio right now, dont go it alone. #yjep #
- promote your studio by promoting the community, get out and talk to everyone, offer free classes etc. per Tim Dale #yjep #
- Tim goes low key about promotion and just brings it up in conversation, always wheeling and dealing #yjep #

Yoga Journal Estes Park Random Videos – Michele Lopez @krishnapriya08 #yjep
Michele is here rocking out the Yoga and I caught her on Video:
Rocky Mountain High – Yoga Journal Conf in Estes Park Sept 23 to 27
So I am signed up and ready to rock and roll in Estes Park, Co for the 14th annual Yoga Journal Conference. I will make a nice road trip out of it seeing some homies in the V and trying to catch an Asthanga class with Richard Freeman at Yoga Workshop in Boulder. It will be a great time to road trip it out of the Phoenix heat and enjoy the end of Colorado’s summer.
The first two days of the conference will be focused on Business and Yoga Workshop and its going to be pretty awesome. It pretty much covers everything you will need to know to start up a successful Yoga studio. From the looks of it MindBody have positioned themselves nicely to get a lot of leads from this.
After those two days is the beginning of the main conference and it does not look like it will disapoint either. For me the highlight is going to be hearing T.K.V. Desikachar speak twice. Here is the rest of my Schedule:
Friday 8am Desikachar – The Yoga of Breath and Mind
10:30 am Seane Corn – Detox Flow
3:30pm Judith Hanson Lasater – Sacroiliac Joint: Twists and Forward Bends Without Pain
Sat 8am Desikachar – The Yoga Sutra: The Practical Applications of the Yoga Sutra for Daily Living
11am David Swenson – Flying, Floating, and Handstanding
3:30pm Shiva Rae – Move for Change: Yoga Trance Dance
Sun 10am Gary Kraftsow – Common Aches and Pains: The Upper Back, Neck, and Shoulders
Yoga Road Trip – Day 3 – Getting to Estes Park – #yjep
