We had the good fortune of connecting with Beth Beary Moses and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Beth, what’s something about your industry that outsiders are probably unaware of?
I’m in the yoga business. Most people think that working for a yoga studio would be relaxed, laid back, no pressure, easy etc. We definitely have aspects of that, however, a business is a business. We are in business to serve our community, in order to serve our community, we need to sell our product, just like any other business out there. Nothing happens until a sale is made. This pays our staff, our rent and allows us to continually improve our product, whether it is enhancing the customer experience or investing in additional trainings.
Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
floo-id YOGA is an incredible space where you can be yourself. There is no special handshake or requirement to wear a certain brand of clothing, you don’t even need to have any experience, we just want you to show up for yourself.
Once you walk through the doors, you can let your worries go and expect a full 60 minutes to just focus on you and your breath. You will walk out in a better mood, more relaxed, calmer and rejuvenated!
I love the community that has been created at floo-id YOGA. Students feel a sense of ownership and want to see us succeed.
For me, the challenge was understanding the business side which, in the past, has been difficult for me. I finally reached out for help and began to understand the numbers, the benefits of advertising, setting goals and reaching them. This has been a long journey for me. Luckily, I have found the right people to help me learn and grow, which has helped my business grow too.
Lessons learned: It is ok to reach out and ask for help. I don’t have to do everything myself. Learn from other peoples mistakes. Surround yourself with people that inspire you. Ask questions.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I really enjoy heading out into the desert, like Four Peaks and Saguaro Lake. It’s such a beautiful place to get away from it all. You can rent a boat, go for a hike, head out on your bicycle, motorcycle or ATV and just be one with nature.
I enjoy eating out, however, it’s more fun to have a BBQ at the house and enjoy the beautiful weather and sunsets that Arizona has to offer.
Of course, we would head to floo-id YOGA to get our sweat on with a Hot Pilates session or get our zen on with some Hot Yoga. Afterwards, we would grab a bite to eat at Protein House and enjoy watching everyone walk by.
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My family is my biggest support system. My parents have helped out, my husband and my kids. When I am feeling low, they are there to pick me up and encourage me to continue on. I have also been very blessed to have a dedicated group of instructors that share my vision and do their best to help our community grow. I also have a dedicated group at the front desk, who are the face of the studio. Each time you arrive you are greeted with a smile and hello. We love to connect with our community and strive to know everyones name.
