The life of a Kalma yoga teacher and Franchise owner!
To celebrate National teachers day, we asked some of our Kalma life franchise owners and yoga teachers why they decided to become part of our team!
Why did you join the Kalma Life Franchise?
More time with my family, teaching in a school was becoming increasingly difficult with the work load, wanting to work hard for me and my family and nobody else! Rachel Kalma Life East Durham and Hartlepool
Flexible working hours, self employment, doing something I thought I would enjoy and that was a little different and to make a difference to children and parents. Emma Bell Kalma Life North Durham and Gateshead West
I wanted to work flexibly so I would have time for my boys. Also, I wanted something for myself. I wanted to start my own business, work for myself and be in control of my own time, rather than work for someone else and everything be on someone else’s terms. Lucy Ellis Kalma Life Darlington
What surprised you about the process?
The difference it has made to my life. Vicky Thompson Kalma Life South Tyneside
How easy it was to set up from scratch and the help and support you get along the way Emma Overton Kalma Life Norton East Billingham and Middlesbrough
I have been surprised about how in-depth the training given by Kalma Life is, I think this is a really good thing as it definitely gives you the confidence you need to deliver good quality classes. It also sets your brand and Business apart from others in that your a trusted yoga teacher with safe knowledge. The training is also really fun, and it never feels like work at all! I really enjoyed our recent CPD day another thing which surprised me is we aren’t just left alone once the business is set up. Cass Custus Kalma Life Beverley and East Yorkshire
Whats been the highlight of being your own boss?
Flexible Hours, meeting new parents and yogis, making lifelong friends, receiving amazing feedback about classes-and being an award finalist as a brand and winning in what’s on for kids awards, including all my family in the business, watching my yogis grow hitting milestone along the way, and finally opening my children’s yoga studio in Durham! Lucy Ellis Kalma Life Darlington
Being able to do the school run every day. More time with my family. The harder I work the more money I earn. Choosing hours to suit me. The improvement in my health and wellbeing. Jessica Jolly Kalma Life Sunderland
Flexibility to set your own days and times of work which has ha a positive impact on the time spent with the family. However, you still have a sense of working hard, which I’ve applied from my previous job. This gives me greater satisfaction as it’s my own to work on and grow which has massive potential in the future. Jessica Jolly Kalma Life Stockton Yarm and Thornaby
