I reached out to Janessa to talk about yoga teachers, business and conscious capitalism. For many of us, the idea of business almost feels like a dirty word. (Y’all know I don’t feel that way, but if you do - I totally get it). I hear from yoga teachers on a regular basis that they struggle to charge for their work, find it difficult to market themselves and sell their services. My mission is to help yoga teachers make a sustainable living from their work - because if you can make a great living doing what you love, you can keep doing it - and we all know, that the world needs yoga now more than ever.

Enter, Janessa Mondestin.

Janessa holds Wellness Brands, Yoga Therapists, & Yoga Teachers accountable to creating, upholding and sustaining conscious capitalism. Janessa believes that you can be profitable, inclusive and culturally aware at the same time. She is also an experienced yoga therapist with over 1500 hours of education specializing in practical Ayurveda, Vital Aging and treating Lower Back Pain. Janessa is the Founder of Soulthentic Yoga, a Movement Educator, a Teacher’s Teacher, formerly the adjunct professor of Yoga and Wellness for Stevens Institute of Technology and currently a Producer for Yoga International.
