Manage episode 488107868 series 3555445
Kelli Gabat, owner of Wildfire Yoga, shares her eight-year journey from corporate worker struggling with anxiety to successful studio owner, teacher trainer, and wellness entrepreneur who recently expanded her business.
• Started yoga to help with anxiety and depression while working corporate jobs for over a decade
• Beginning with an 800 square foot subleased space before expanding multiple times
• Navigated COVID by immediately shifting to virtual without closing, while also processing personal grief
• Recently opened Wildfire Wellness with infrared saunas, cold plunges, and red light therapy
• Created a true community space where members feel comfortable making it their own
• Emphasizes starting small and being specific about what you offer rather than diversifying too quickly
• Believes in the power of mindfulness to create mental space for better business decisions
• Suggests beginning each day with gratitude as a "game changer" for overall mindset
• Recommends focusing on breath awareness when feeling stressed or overwhelmed
