Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Sally Miller, an international yin yoga teacher & trainer, somatic meditation coach, holistic anxiety specialist, and silent retreat leader based in Doylestown, PA, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

I work with women who want to learn how to slow down and prioritize their self-care.

Tell us about yourself

I struggled to find work/life balance in my early 20's when I was a chemical engineer. Yoga saved me! Twenty years later, I continue to be fascinated with how and why we give so much energy to the outer world but struggle to make time for inner practices like yoga and meditation. I'm motivated by the results I've seen in my own life and my student's lives. It blows my mind that just 20 minutes a day of yin yoga or meditation can make a noticeable difference in our physical and mental health.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Sharing this quieter, slower style of yoga (yin yoga) with the world is my greatest accomplishment. Not everyone needs fast-paced vinyasa yoga or hot yoga. I'm honored that I can introduce something completely different.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

I don't always want to be my own boss! Hiring a business coach has been a game-changer.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Practice what you preach, so you embody whatever you teach.
  2. Know your strengths, and then be brave enough to surround yourself with people who are good at the things you're NOT good at.
  3. Be humble and trust that it's ok when things don't work out. It doesn't mean you're a failure.
