This week on the podcast, I am joined by Dagmar Spremberg. Dagmar is a 500 hr E-RYT and the founder of Montezuma Yoga in Costa Rica. In this episode, Dagmar shares what brought her to Costa Rica 20 years ago, what it was like starting Montezuma Yoga, how she pivoted her business and her studio during the pandemic, and ultimately what has lead to closing down the studio. Dagmar also shares some of the biggest business lessons that she's learned through her career as a yoga teacher and studio owner.  Enjoy!    This episode is brought to you by OfferingTree.

This episode is also brought to you by Magic Mind, the little magical elixir which makes your body humm. Magic Mind is the world’s first productivity drink that not only gives you the alertness that coffee and other energy drinks do, but also has ingredients to support memory, increase creativity and boost focus.  Magic Mind contains minimal caffeine, and the caffeine it does have comes from the matcha tea. It also has all natural ingredients, adaptogens to help decrease stress and nootropics to boost blood flow and cognition.  Magic Mind has all natural ingredients, including ceremonial grade Matcha and Lion’s Mane mushrooms to extend your morning energy. It also contains turmeric, ashwagandha, vitamin C, Echinacea and much more.  It helps me with procrastination and brain fog, but doesn’t give me the jitters and crashes the way that coffee does.  Since having a baby, my mind has been all over the place.
