This week on the podcast I am joined by Nicholas Herd, more commonly known as Quazzy. Quazzy is a yoga and meditation teacher, the founder of Running River Collective and an advocate for the BIPOC community. On this episode, we talk about his journey as a yoga teacher, why he founded RRC and what they do, as well as how we can make our yoga classes more accessible to the BIPOC community. We discuss equity, diversity, and the importance of yoga being accessible for everyone. This is super informative and impactful episode! Enjoy! ----   This episode is sponsored by OfferingTree. Most yoga teachers struggle with two things: marketing and time management. It can feel overwhelming and scary to try and put yourself out there to get new clients. There's also never enough time to get everything done, like sending a newsletter, emailing your new clients, or updating your website.
