Yoga, Entrepreneurship, & The Power of Community with Open’s Ally Maz
146: We’re kicking off 2022 content with Ally Maz, co-founding teacher of the app OPEN, which Chelsea has been obsessed with since summer. Ally is a yoga instructor & teacher, entrepreneur and founder of Girlvana, a “space for self identified teen girls and young women to find home within themselves so they can go into the world and change it”; Girlvana is now a published book as well!
In this episode, they discuss:
- Ally’s dancer past before she found yoga
- The emotional healing and spiritual awakening that yoga brings
- Transitioning to yoga as a business
- Struggling with an eating disorder
- Founding Girlvana - going back to who we were before the world told us who to be
- The process of writing her book for young people
- The financial side of entrepreneurship
- Becoming a founding teacher with OPEN
