How to Build an Empire of Freedom With Your Law Degree feat. Aman Costigan (September 2023)

Aman Costigan was once a partner at a Canadian law firm, teaching
yoga on the side and quietly craving more freedom and alignment
in her life. In this powerful conversation, she shares how she
found her voice, launched Beyond Yoga for Lawyers, and began to
merge wellness with law in a meaningful way. The episode captures
a moment in time when Aman was redefining what a legal career
could look like — and today, her journey continues beyond the
courtroom



Lawyer Side Hustles


Beyond Yoga for Lawyers began as a side project. Aman felt a pull
to share what she had learned through yoga and mindfulness,
especially with other lawyers who were struggling with burnout
and disconnection. She started teaching classes, offering
workshops, and building a community.



“I didn’t see anyone else doing it in the way I wanted to. So I
just did it,” expresses Aman Costigan in Episode 105 of You Are a
Lawyer.




Over time, that side hustle grew into a brand and a business.
Today, she offers coaching, yoga, and wellness content
specifically designed for lawyers who want more than just
billable hours and burnout. It’s a testament to what’s possible
when you start small, stay consistent, and let your vision
evolve.
