In this episode of Yoga Biz Champ, I sit down with Marianne Buchilo, the heart and hustle behind Peaceful Yoga in Malverne, NY. This is a grounded, inspiring conversation about what it really looks like to grow a yoga studio—especially when you're not a franchise, not a chain, but a local community-based space.
Marianne and I have been working together for two years, and in that time, her studio has seen over 60% growth. We talk through the wins, the mindset shifts, and the behind-the-scenes systems that helped make it happen.
We get into:
• How Marianne took over her teacher’s studio and made it her own
• What it took to clean up legacy systems (goodbye 3-day payroll!)
• Finding confidence as a leader, a marketer, and a studio owner
•Using automation + daily detective work to keep students engaged
• Getting scrappy with local partnerships (coffee shops, cinemas, community events)
• Why studio owners need support—and how coaching filled the gap
• Whether you’re thinking about hiring a coach or wondering if growth is even possible in a small town, Marianne’s story will meet you where you’re at.
