The Prosperous Yogini

Today's episode is inspired by the wisdom of Stephen Braybrook, aka the Movement Man, who lost his battle to Pancreatic cancer way too young in 2023. I trained with Stephen a handful of times but he was one of those people who left a HUGE imprint on me and his relentless questioning of conventional wisdom when it came to how the human body actually worked backed up with sound scientific research lit me up! His advice that never left me - "break a norm". It ties into one of my favourite sayings 'definition of madness is doing the same thing expecting a different result'. Whatever you are stuck or frustrated with, whatever you want to change right now if you don't break a norm and do something different from what you are currently doing then stuck is where you will stay. Mentoring for Yoga Teachers If you're a yoga teacher I ask you to break a norm and instead of doing more training I invite you to invest in my mentoring programme, this will really make a difference to your skill as a teacher and a business owner. Not to mention it is a 100-hour accredited further training course. My flagship Prosperous Yogini Mentoring programme doors are open from 22nd to 30th April. I welcome cohorts 2 times a year to develop their skills as yoga teachers and business owners.

We all need support, especially when working with the human body and in therapeutic modalities, just like yoga teachers and other bodyworkers do. We all need to be guided in refining and developing teaching skills, and inspired with new ideas and approaches, We all need someone who will know the answers to those business questions that are not covered in foundation yoga teacher training courses. We all need someone who can help compassionately guide us through the wobbles of the mind to reach our full potential. We all need someone who we can bounce ideas off, who has been where we are now and can use all that experience to guide us. I think you all need me in your life! Mentorship should be the industry standard for yoga teachers, I truly believe it is madness that so many teachers choose to go it alone after investing hours of time and money in training to be a yoga teacher. I learnt to value of support and guidance from my years spent in secondary education. We can look to other therapeutic modalities and see that ongoing support is the norm. If you're a yoga teacher hold off from doing another training course, although my mentoring programme is also 100 hours of further training and say yes to the support you've been looking for.

Welcome to part 3 of my 3-part series where I am exploring 3 of the 7 energy centres, the Chakras, and how they relate to how we feel and the actions we take. The heart and root centres support us to open the throat centre, and here is where we do all our talking, aka marketing and selling! The throat centre, also known as the Vishuddhi Chakra, governs our vocal cords, it's where we communicate. Think of all the places where you use words and communicate in your business, from both the written to the spoken form. Feeling able to stand in our power and speak our truth from the throat centre will make talking to people, communicating, building connections and telling people about our offers, aka selling, flow with far more ease. The throat centre is so important to us entrepreneurs! Mentoring for Yoga Teachers Make sure your name is on the waitlist for my Prosperous Yogini Mentoring Programme.

Welcome to part 2 of my 3-part series where I am exploring 3 of the 7 energy centres, the Chakras, and how they relate to how we feel and the actions we take. This week it's the big one, the powerful one, my favourite one! The heart centre, also known as the Anahata Chakra. This is the seat of our unconditional love, the place where we create. Anahata means unstruck sound, the sound already exists, it is yet to be heard, yet to be created, but the energy of it is there ready and waiting. All sound is created by two objects striking together, the heart centre is where this sound manifests. Put simply it's where we create from, supported by the stability of our roots, when we truly tap into the hollering of the heart ain't nothing going to stop us! Before heading off into action, before deciding to say yes, pause and feel into your heart, and be guided by this energy, heart frequency is the most powerful energy we have. Magical Marketing Mastery Masterclass I am loving all this chakra energy work, the heart and root centres support us to open the throat centre, and here is where we do all our talking, aka marketing. Join me, for FREE, Thursday 18th April at 7.30pm, for 60 minutes of throat charka activation, and practical, actional ways you can market your business and sell with more ease.

Welcome to the first of my 3-part series where I am going to explore 3 of the 7 energy centres, the Chakras, and how they relate to how we feel and the actions we take. The more I practice yoga and run my business, the more I see the interconnectedness of it all. If energy is everything, how can we work with the energy and move in harmony with our unique energy systems to better inform the actions we take? Within the practice of Yoga, some traditions work with the 7 energy centres located on the central channel of the spine. The root chakra, Muladhara, is located at the base of the spine. This is the energy of stability, connecting us to our roots down to the earth beneath us. Through this connection, we can utilise the earth to support us and discharge any energy that is not ours or is no longer serving us. The root chakra is the seat of our Kundalini Shakti, the powerful serpent energy of creation, think about what may mean in terms of your creative endeavours in your business! Grounding ourselves, and giving time to connect to our roots, helps to support us in the actions we take and in the navigation of external forces that can interrupt our intended plans. Walking barefoot on the grass, rooting through the pelvis when seated and supine relaxation practices all help us to connect to this energy and work with it effectively. Below are all the ways we can hang, but eyes peeled for next week, along with part 2 of Charkas for your business I have some very exciting news about my new free masterclass!

I am in the process of starting something new after a deep knowing, and a whole host of signs from the universe! If you have an established business you'll know how hard it can be to break that norm and to do something new, when you've spent so long crafting your persona. Or perhaps you're employed but have this calling to do something else, and it has absolutely nothing to do with your current reality! All of it is hard. All of it throws our beautiful brain into panic mode, cue imposter syndrome, fear of rejection and worse the fear of ridicule. But it hits a point for us all where the pain of keeping it inside and to ourselves becomes greater than the pain of non-action. So today I am very excited to announce my new branch, the start of my new services supporting ALL female serviced-based entrepreneurs, and anyone else who likes my vibe, to share their gifts with the world and make money! I am bringing together all my years of experience as a yoga teacher, educator, mentor and business owner, to support you to work with the feminine and masculine energies. Energy is everything, but better put energy leads everything, and it's time to do things differently. It's time to work the energy, the unseen, to better navigate our mind so we can take aligned action. And I can help you with all of it, after all, it's all interconnected! This is a big invitation to join my new Substack community here – https://energymindsetmoneyandmore.substack.com/ Join for free, or be part of the energy exchange and buy me a coffee and cake for £4.40 a month. I am still very much Amy-Yoga, offering outstanding training courses and my flagship mentoring programme, but this is my new branch, and I can't keep all the amazing work I've been doing with female yoga teachers to just them anymore!

It is 4 years to the day when my in-person studio-based yoga business shut down literally overnight! Today I wanted to share with you the new branch to my offering, but it's not quite ready. However, if you are female, in business or want to start one, want to do more of what you love and make money - all I can say is WATCH THIS SPACE! Everything happens for a reason and this episode was needed today, it reminded me of all that has changed and all that is possible. Nothing is stronger than the vibration of the heart, nothing was going to take away the business I'd spent 10 years at that point building. The offer of money from my mum to tie me over the 12 weeks of lockdown (boy we had no idea), gave me so much fire in my belly to not sit back and worry about buying loo roll, but transform my cash-based in-person business, with no email marketing, low key social media and to be honest no idea how this online course world worked to where it is today. I've blown my own mind in terms of what I have created! Remember the light in my shines in you and creation from the heart space is available to us all, whatever that may be. I've also learnt to let go, not be attached to outcomes and importantly take crazy messy action, without perhaps fully knowing the plan, the universe does though! I'm using all my years of experience to help you do the same, here's how we can work together: Mentoring for Yoga Teachers Make sure your name is on the waitlist for my Prosperous Yogini Mentoring Programme.

Today I am joined by the lovely Claire who trained with me last year to be a yoga teacher and is now working on growing her yoga business and refining her teaching skills inside my mentoring programme. Claire is leading the way as to what is possible in your first year of teaching. An amazing opportunity to teach yoga within her workspace has helped Claire to connect to her 'why'. Having suffered from workplace anxiety, Claire knows the power of yoga, the power of breath work and mindfulness within the workplace. I hope we move to a world where wellness in the workplace is standard. And if this way of working interests you then connecting with local businesses and putting together your bespoke wellness package for them is a great way to work as a yoga teacher or other wellness entrepreneur. Claire's story should inspire you all to consider work beyond the scope of offers to the public. Follow Claire on Instagram here - https://www.instagram.com/yoga_with_clairej/ Corporate wellness is on the rise, are you ready to be part of this movement, remember my mantra "Make offers, make money"!

I cannot believe the serendipity of this week's episode after last week, where I spent 30-plus minutes persuading you to set up that email list! I get it, using social media feels like the easiest option, most of us use Facebook and Instagram, so it feels very doable when it comes to using it in our business. I do believe that you should use social media and I am massively grateful to both Facebook and Meta for providing what is effectively a free platform to grow my community and sell my offers. There is an awful lot that is good about social media. But you have to be fully aware it is borrowed land, and you can lose your account at any time, even if you have 2-step authentication set up. Regardless of how big or small your account is. No one is protected from waking up one day and finding all of it gone. This is exactly what happened to a teacher in my mentoring programme this week. Her account was hacked, she did have 2-step authentication set up and she did lose her personal account of 17 years, along with her business pages. It is devastating for her. But thanks to the support in our mentoring programme and some epic advice from her mentoring (aka me), this event is now something that is positive. This event is now something that is causing a fresh new wave of visibility and marketing into her yoga business. And who doesn't want this? This is the power of mentorship. This is why mentorship should be the industry standard for all yoga teachers. This is why all women in business, all female serviced-based entrepreneurs need support. We are not meant to navigate these moments alone!

Today's episode on the surface is all about the importance of having a mailing list, and there is lots of really easy actional advice today, but it is also about how our mindset is probably the real reason we are struggling to take action. If you are just on social media, you are not only on borrowed ground, but yes you are largely shouting into the void, so please stop! Not to mention if you are creating content for social media why are you not re-purposing into email marketing? This fantastic question from a yoga teacher with a list of 114 is a brilliant example of why possibly you've found many reasons why you can set up your mailing list or if you've ticked that box why right now you don't have the time to focus on growing it, connecting and selling through it. Because your beautiful brain is in the way, telling you you're not tech savvy, telling you it's lots of work and trying its best to keep you safe. And yes that will mean taking no action in the direction of your dreams! Email marketing is something we can all do, for free, and in most cases in the best way you can talk directly to your tribe!

Yesterday was 14th February, Valentine's Day, and following a post that caught your attention about self-love and self-care, today's episode is a half-term short one on the importance of self-love! Are you self-employed, whether it be full or part-time? If you can't provide your services does your business stop? If you answer yes to the two questions above today's episode is a very powerful message. You are the golden goose in your business and need protecting at all costs! As I've said for a long time a stressed yoga teacher is not a good look. But this is not just an episode for female yoga teachers. Today's episode is for every female serviced-based entrepreneur working in a business of one, aka just them. Who is over-delivering, over-giving, under-charging and wondering how to sustain this, let alone grow any further into that business that is tugging at their heartstrings? The request to love ourselves can feel tough, but what if we reframe this to caring for ourselves is essential for us to care for those who buy our services, or come to our yoga classes? Caring for ourselves is also essential to all the other people in our lives we care for. And it doesn't have to mean big sudden changes, it can start with making 5, or 10 minutes in your diary each week just for you. The small stuff adds up to the big stuff! Investing in yourself, and acknowledging that trying to run your business alone is madness is also an act of self-love.

Back in mid-January, I ran the brilliant "Profitable Yoga Business Roadmap Masterclass and Coaching Call". Teachers from all stages of their teaching career joined me for this, including a few fresh out of their foundation teacher training course. We all know that feeling when we start anything new, it can feel like there's so much to do and learn. That feeling of rabbit in headlights comes to mind! Firstly, I want you all to know that we all start from the beginning and doing anything new at any stage of your business will bring up these feelings. In this episode I answer some great questions from those newly qualified yoga teachers who joined the "Profitable Yoga business Roadmap" and I know many of these questions and my answers will be of use to you all. I also love answering your questions on my podcast, so if there's anything you'd like me to answer on my podcast do send me your questions to [email protected]. Mentoring for Yoga Teachers Questions about yoga teaching and running your yoga business come up at every stage of your career. It is madness that we attempt to run our yoga business alone. I truly believe mentoring should be the industry standard. I believe in a yoga industry where we are all needed and we all can thrive, and this comes from a place of support.

Episode 86 (not 85, forgive my opening confusion) of the Prosperous Yogini Podcast is very special. My first male interviewee in the form of Paul Finnie and two incredible conversations on models for running yoga studios and the power of using Human Design to live your authentic blueprint. Finnie is a yoga teacher, studio owner, human design coach and all round lovely human being who I am working more and more with inside my business to support those I train and mentor. Studio yoga ownership is a dream so many of us have. I've had two studios myself; I know first-hand the pros and the cons. And I am all for following your dreams, but as you'll hear from Finnie you also need a clear financial plan and model so the dream can be a sustainable reality. Finnie is a brilliant Human Design coach, and I thoroughly recommend you get to know more about your Human Design and work with Finnie to get more personal support, it will give you the permission you've been waiting for to be you!

Being self-employed, working for yourself, and running your own business, which is the case for the vast majority of yoga teachers means the 80-20 rule applies to you! To create what you want it is 80% energy and mindset work, 20% action! Yet where do we focus most of our attention – on action or the inaction we believe we can't yet take? And with the action we are taking is it aligned action? What does aligned action even mean? It means we are taking action from a place of knowing this is our next best available step. We've done the harder work around navigating our blocks both energetically and in the mind, and then we respond. It is hard to accept, I get it! It would be easier for me to tell you to just work harder, just keep doing more and you'll get the results you want. Sure, you'll get the results, but they may not be what you actually want and you're probably heading to burnout. The challenge is this 80% is almost impossible to navigate alone, but that's what most female yoga teachers and female entrepreneurs choose to do. I am here to tell you, that this is bonkers, please stop, you truly are not meant to do this alone, I certainly couldn't.

This is the story of the evolution of my mentoring programme! How I have found myself here in 2024 supporting female, service-based entrepreneurs, aka yoga teachers, to share their gifts with the world help people and make money. How I had a deep calling, a deep knowing that female yoga teachers needed my support and needed my mentoring programme. But how I could have easily given up when I first launched the programme in 2022, and the HUGE difference 12 months makes. Selling new products and services, especially to a new audience takes time, my mentoring programme has reminded me of this. Selling something that will require people to challenge their belief systems and do the ongoing hard work around mindset and habits that don't serve us is probably always going to be a harder sell for me than yoga teacher training. But I know that I have come here to do this, I know how much this is needed! And I am going to keep showing up and inviting yoga teachers into my mentoring programme. And plans are brewing on how I can help women full stop do what lights them up and make money. Why? Because I know this is what I came here to do, and I know it is our time to rise up. https://youtu.be/gfzKFY5iH54 Prosperous Yogini Podcast on YouTube Mentoring for Yoga Teachers So female yoga teachers come on in, doors to my 6-month Prosperous Yogini Mentoring programme are open 22nd to 31st January 2024.

Today I am joined by the gorgeous Floss from https://www.flossophyandyoga.co.uk/ to discuss the integration of philosophy into modern yoga, what enlightenment is or isn't and after just two months working with me 1:1 in my mentorship programme her results are impressive and this of course is available to you too! Yoga is always evolving in the hands of those who practice it, aka us! Yoga teaches us nothing is permanent, and this includes how we approach the practice. But we must honour its roots and traditions and find ways to integrate this with relevance into our modern world. And Floss is the lady who is doing just this. Check her out on Instagram here - https://www.instagram.com/philosophical_floss/ Feeling burnout from teaching lots of weekly classes and out of alignment with how she truly wants to share yoga with the world after 5 years of trying to figure it out alone Floss said yes to my mentorship programme. Coming in at option 2, Floss is working more closely with me 1:1 and the results after 2 months are staggering! From full workshops, a reduced number of weekly classes, to both new online and in-person offerings that truly honour her love of embodied movement and philosophy, plus a newfound confidence that she is a good teacher, and she is needed. Not to mention this energy of course has rippled into all areas of her life. In fact, why not join Floss online 22nd January for her workshop on modern postural yoga, we all need to hear this one! Book here - https://www.flossophyandyoga.co.uk/event-details-registration/introduction-to-the-philosophy-and-history-of-yoga-part-2-colonial-encounters-the-emergence-of-modern-postural-yoga Floss leads the way for us all, especially a younger generation who may be told that they are poor, you can't afford X, Y or Z. Floss also leads the way in saying yes to mentorship and like she says, what is unique about what I have to offer is I can help you with both hats that you wear, yoga teacher and yoga business. Mentorship should be industry standard for all yoga teachers and investing time and money in the business the side of being a yoga teacher should be as accepted as yoga teacher training is.

Happy New Year, welcome to episode 82 of the Prosperous Yogini Podcast and my first episode of 2024! If you like today's episode and would like more on this topic and the opportunity to ask me a question and have my eyes on your business at the start of 2024 sign up for the Profitable Yoga Business Masterclass and Coaching call starting Sunday 14th January 7pm. Join here for only £33 - https://amy-yoga.com/profitable-yoga-business-roadmap-2024/ The 'business' side of being a yoga teacher can feel like there is an overwhelming amount of stuff to do and learn, we often believe it to be hard. The result is non-action, we keep ourselves small, less people get to do yoga with us, and we struggle to make money as yoga teachers. It's 2024 and I believe the world needs women to rise up, share their gifts with the world, help people and make money, and that includes us yoga teachers! Business isn't hard, we're told it is. These 3 steps will help you build any business, including your yoga business: Nail what you are good at, lean into what you know and love. Gather your tribe, yes that means some people won't like you. Create offers that you and your tribe love! And that is it, this is the pathway to creative flow, this is the pathway to your own unique alignment, this is everything our yoga practice teaches us applied to running a business. Seem easy? Probably not and the reason is you are not meant to be on this path alone. Mentorship should be industry standard for all yoga teachers and investing time and money in the business the side of being a yoga teacher should be as accepted as yoga teacher training is.

It's an interview episode and I am joined by the incredible Caroline of Humble Warrior Yoga - https://www.humblewarrioryoga.uk/ Caroline is a single parent, works 30 to 40 hours in a supermarket and is busy growing her online yoga business supporting women in the perimenopause and menopausal stages of life. Caroline has taught in person, but covid and then an episode of acute anxiety meant this was no longer possible. But she knows the power yoga has to support women over 40 and none of this was going to stop her. There is so much I love about Caroline's story, she knows her why and this drives her to succeed. Which is what matters when you are building an online business. You don't hear many stories of people at the beginning of their journey, it's so often about 6-figure businesses and 5 and 6-figure launches. But we all start from zero, and we all work hard in the early days to organically grow our business, the successful ones are people like Caroline, who are in it for the long game. Plus Caroline knew that trying to do it alone was madness, and she's been working with me in my mentoring programme. We have created the systems to grow her business and generate sales, lead magnets, automations, paid mini-course, and her Tribe Membership and now we're playing with 1:1 offers and live courses. Caroline shows us that consistent, persistent action in the direction of your dreams is the path we all must take! Support Caroline by visiting - https://www.humblewarrioryoga.uk/ Join her mailing list, buy her mini-course and better still join her Tribe membership, yoga is something that all women over 40 should do. Watch on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeZ0Nb8srAQ&t=1s Prosperous Yogini Podcast on YouTube Mentoring for Yoga Teachers I hope Caroline inspires you to stop trying to do it alone, there is no way I could run my business without the support of my mentor. When it comes to building an online business this is a long game, one where you can save yourself so much time, and long term make money when you choose to work with a mentor who has been where you are now. I've been building my online yoga business since April 2020, I trust me if I can do it, you can too, and this is one thing we could do together inside my mentoring programme! I believe all yoga teachers need mentoring. I believe that all yoga teachers, who largely happen to be female, should have profitable sustainable businesses.

This has been something that has been really big for me in 2023. I feel like this year all my studies, knowledge and understanding have collided to give me a greater sense of oneness, and how everything is connected. The nervous system is one of my favourite topics. For a while now I've felt we've not fully appreciated the role of the sympathetic nervous system, we've just labelled it as a bad response. And with an over-focus on the parasympathetic nervous systems are we missing something? Are we missing the neutral place, the place in-between the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous? But what does the nervous system have to do with running our yoga business? Well, if energy is everything, then your energy matters the most and the nervous system is the centre of our energy system. Committing to getting the balance between yin and yang, masculine and feminine energies will help both your decision-making and the actions you take, after all, thoughts become things! Understanding the natural response of the nervous system and how it will impact the decisions and actions you take, and the impact of experiences and beliefs on our nervous system, will lead to a path of greater energetic balance, and isn't that yoga? Watch on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VR4Vwx0LVvM Prosperous Yogini Podcast on YouTube The good news is our yoga practice teaches us all we need to find balance, breath work, meditation, and restorative practices. Our monthly teaching clinics inside my mentoring programme regularly focus on practices such as restorative yoga, yin yoga, breath work and yoga nidra, I know the yoga teachers I work with need to be inspired in their practice and need practices that help to tap into their inner guidance and take the action they want to call in as they've committed to working with me for 6-months. Mentoring for Yoga Teachers Inside my mentoring programme for yoga teachers, I literally support you with both hats you wear, yoga teacher and yoga boss. Having done both for over 14+ years, I know that actually these hats can't really be separated. I believe all yoga teachers need mentoring I believe that all yoga teachers, who largely happen to be female, should have profitable sustainable businesses.

As we approach the end of the year I am going to be sharing with you some of the practices, and habits, I have at this time of year in relation to my yoga business. As the year draws to a close it is a natural point in the year to review your yoga business. From this review the next step is to set some goals, what are my next steps and what is my bigger "what if this is possible goal"? All this needs to be from a balance and calm within your nervous system, so you can make non-attached decisions that align with you energetically. Goals have to feel possible, some very achievable and some that push what we believe to be possible, but this is where we call in the expansion we are ready for. Goals also help us to plan, what is coming up and when, and what do I need to invest the time and energy into. For example, if your goal is to fill your retreat for next April, what does the data say? How many people are already booked? What is your break-even point? What goal do you have in terms of numbers? From this what are the actions you are going to take to fill that yoga retreat you have coming up? Mentoring for Yoga Teachers Inside my mentoring programme for yoga teachers, this is what we do all the time! Review, set goals, plan aligned action and repeat, with me supporting you all the way. If you choose to work with me 1:1 I am literally in your pocket to help you navigate this process.

Doing all of this alone is incredibly difficult, if not impossible. This is why we all should invest in a mentor or a coach to guide us. It will save you time and make you money!

As we approach the end of the year I am going to be sharing with you some of the practices, and habits, I have at this time of year in relation to my yoga business. Reviewing your business as a reflective practitioner. This is a fancy term for learning to review your progress from a place of non-attachment. What went well this year? Celebrate all wins big and small, after all, what we focus on expands! What didn't go so well? All mistakes and perceived failures are lessons we can learn and grow from, however disappointing and annoying they are at the time. What does the data say? What are the facts and figures and know these before making any judgements about your successes and failures. What does your energy say? What excites you? Where is resentment or frustration creeping in? Know the answers to the above? Wait. Get quiet. Tap into your inner intelligence. We'll set some goals next week!

As we approach the Christmas period it is common for many of us at this time of year to do a charity yoga class or be asked to participate in a charity event, offering our services for free. Of course, the reasons why we would say yes to any charity work is because we feel passionate about the cause and want to use our skills to support the charity. But nothing feels better than making a difference. Nothing feels better than knowing that you've helped someone. Not to mention charity classes and events are wonderful ways to bring your current community together and meet new people. Simply put a charity class is a great piece of marketing, and is one reason, not the main one, but one reason to say yes to this work. Watch on YouTube https://youtu.be/aR9oGHBParo Prosperous Yogini Podcast Mentoring for Yoga Teachers We've been seasonally planning and discussing setting up charity classes this Christmas in my mentoring programme since September.

Is it mindset work? Is it nervous system work? Or is it both, is it everything, as we are one connected energetic system? When we do anything new, anything different it will prompt a response from our nervous system, and if we are trying to do something too far from where our current settings are set, it will feel impossible. And in this case, no amount of mindset work will force us into action. But when we ask ourselves what is the next step I can take? What is the next action that I can take to shift my system into more balance, to allow expansion and to allow expansion compassionately? For example, let's say you want to start offering retreats and largely work abroad, but you have never done anything like this before. The thought of running a retreat abroad feels impossible, the result is you don't take any action and remain stuck in your current settings, and in non-action. What if I see my bigger goal and take the next step available for me, which may look like day retreats, moving to weekend retreats and then abroad? This allows my settings to shift, allows both my nervous and mindset to adjust to the belief that I can run successful retreats, and at the same time builds a community of people who love going on retreats with me, who will all be ready to go abroad when I offer this? This is where energy meets action. Shifting your settings, allows for compassionate expansion, and it's part of both the mindset and nervous system work, as ultimately they are connected, they are both part of the wholeness that is you.

Or better put holding the space when you are not offering verbal instructions! Are you comfortable in the silent spaces when teaching? Do you play music when teaching yoga, and if so why, what is the energy behind the choice to play music? To hold space energetically in the silent moments we need to feel comfortable in them as a starting place. To allow our students to feel comfortable we need to create a place of safety in the silent moments, guiding people both in and out of them. Do you teach Yin-yoga?

I do start a little confused over episode numbers today, but this is episode 73, not 72! We often hear the term 'holding space' as something we yoga teachers do. But what does it mean? And why am I talking about it now? It is no secret that at the time of recording this podcast, the news is tougher than normal, and the energy of managing this and carrying on serving those I work with has had me thinking about the act of holding space. Why now more than ever we need to continue to hold space and share the light that is yoga, the world collectively needs love, hope and healing now more than ever. As yoga teachers and anyone else who works with the human system, we hold space. We hold space for the physical body, the emotional body, the energetic body and the spiritual body. Through sharing the practice of yoga we hold space for the seen and the unseen. Our human energies bodies are affected by events both on the macro and micro, and I know that when collectively we feel the weight of global events, holding space feels harder. But it's not just about our students, to hold this space, we also have to manage our own energetic space. We too are effective by events both personally and on a larger collective scale. And to hold space for others through both the light and the dark times, we have to ensure we are looking after ourselves first. Doing this alone is not easy, this is one reason I believe mentorship should be the industry standard for yoga teachers. Because the world needs you, your love, your light and your gifts as a yoga teacher now more than ever. Not to mention a world where more kind-hearted, conscious people, have profitable, thriving businesses I know is a better world. This is my dharma right now, to help you, so along with my weekly free podcast check out all the ways we can work together because you are not meant to be doing this alone.

Today's episode is my final snippet from the recording from day 1 of my free training "The Confident Yogi CEO". This training was so mind-blowingly good I have to share some of it with you! Energy is everything, get into energetic alignment and as I say everything else is just gravy! But it's all very well and good knowing this, but how do we find energetic alignment? As yoga teachers this is the stuff we know and teach, we just need to apply it to our yoga business! Find a practice that slows the brain waves down, and helps you connect to that inner wisdom, that quiet voice that whispers 'this', as I like to call it, your Higher Self. And what practice do we teach that does this – meditation! This short meditation may help you connect to your inner wisdom, your inner knowledge, and your higher self. And I say may because one thing I do know about the human energy system we are all unique and you need to find your own to plug in and connect. Finding your own way alone is not easy, we benefit from guidance and support. If you are looking for an experienced mentor, who will guide you to step into your own power source and do things your way, I am your girl!

Energy literally is everything, get into energetic alignment and as I say everything else is just gravy!

As yoga teachers, we know how important energy and alignment are, but we rarely apply this to our yoga business.

As I said last week confidence is not something you have or do not have, it comes from practice, time and having the right support. As a yoga teacher have you ever considered yourself a business owner? I see my job as a yoga teacher as having two hats, both of which are interconnected, one does not exist without the other. I am a yoga teacher and a yoga boss. Here is how we step into our role as a yoga boss: Talk to people, tell people who you are, what you do and how you can help them. Sell to people, selling is service, yoga helps people, so make me an offer! Make decisions, as a yoga boss, you are in charge, so make decisions that align with you and how you want to bring yoga to the world. Our yoga practice literally teaches all we need to know when it comes to being a yoga boss, the problem is most yoga teachers do not view themselves as a business owner. And this is where I can help you!

Confidence is not something you have or do not have, it comes from practice, time and having the right support. At whatever stage of your yoga career you are at we all have times when we lack confidence in our abilities as a yoga teacher. Here are 6 steps that you can take to help you feel more confident as a yoga teacher: Practice – get out and teach! Allow yourself to fail and be human, and perhaps stop being so hard on yourself! Cultivate the mindset of a reflective practitioner, review what went well and what perhaps you could try differently. Be in your own lane and on your own path, stop comparing yourself to others. Get a support network of people who are where you are and get it! Find a mentor, whose experience will guide you.

Hot tips for using Instagram I can't believe I am sharing hot tips for using Instagram in your yoga business, if you could have seen me 5 years ago, I was nowhere near this App! And even when I did eventually join the Insta party it was reluctant, to say the least. But with practice and some incredible training with the legend that is Lucy Sheridan I have got my relationship with Insta nailed. Yes, I do mean my relationship, I know how I want to show up, where I want to show up and how often I am on this App. And let go of any attachment to what this means or does not mean for the number of followers I have. It's a business asset, one I am grateful for, one I enjoy. But one I know I do not own, and like everything has a shadow side. Knowing this allows me to navigate the shadows peacefully and as much as I love my Instagram party invitation to the world, I invest my time and energy far more on those already paid to be in my courses and those on my mailing list, which I do own.

There is not one singular action that you can take that will make a big difference when it comes to marketing your yoga business. Marketing, aka talking to people, is a result of persistent, consistent action in the direction of your dreams – this is one of my all-time favourite mantras! This means showing up and talking to people even when it feels like no one is listening. It often feels like that by the way! But over time all your endeavours begin to add up, begin to have momentum and the ripples of all your actions begin to come together. So hang in there! Keep talking to people, keep inviting them to your yoga classes. And stop trying to do it alone, this is really hard, and most give up before those ripples have really started to come together.

Make time for magic! Today's episode is on a topic that as a yoga teacher you know very well, the balance of Yin and Yang energies. Are you always 'doing'? What leads the actions you take in your yoga business? Energy is everything and when action, masculine yang energy, happens from a place of energetic alignment with your intuition, yin feminine energy, this is where whatever you are being called to create is possible. But do you make time for magic in your yoga business? Do you have an energetic practice, where you allow yourself to connect to your inner guidance system, the universe, higher self, whatever you want to call it? There are many ways you can make time for magic; it can be as simple as paying attention to that whisper and those signs. From meditating to surfing to writing down all the names of the people coming to your full retreat you are yet to advertise, this is all magic work. And what will work for you is totally unique to you, but I can tell you to lean into what you love, and if you're not sure what this is just take action, as the magic happens along the way! Getting into energetic alignment and having the rock-steady nerve to sit in the vibration of 'it's all working out for me', is not easy alone. And I would really love for you to stop waiting and stop trying to do it all by yourself when you don't have to!

Ep.63 A good yoga teacher…. Today's episode is the fourth in a 4-part series of mini-teaching clinics, where I'll explore an aspect of yoga teaching. A good yoga teacher gives options. A good yoga teacher teaches in an inclusive way, which allows all students to meet themselves where they are at that given moment. Side note here, your yoga classes aren't for everyone, so make sure you are clear about who your class is for. And everyone should have access to yoga if they want it, if you want to help those who face a financial barrier, teaching low-cost class yoga classes is not the way to sustainable serve for the long term. A good yoga teacher builds in challenge in a way that doesn't add to a student's stories around their body of being inflexible or not strong enough. This is easier said than done but my favourite word 'maybe' is powerful, along with the invitation to play and then we all arrive at the place we are meant to be. A successful yoga business is one where you can teach with confidence and run your business with ease, and with 14-plus years as a yoga teacher, I can help you do both!

Inviting free-form movement – Shimmy! Today's episode is the third in a 4-part series of mini-teaching clinics, where I'll explore an aspect of yoga teaching. Do you offer moments of free-form movement in your classes? What if you asked your students to breathe, listen to their bodies and do whatever movement felt good? This may be just what your students are here for, but perhaps many would politely leave asap! If we are to trust the body's wisdom and guide our students to tap into their self-regulating system, we have to find clever ways to begin to encourage moments of free movement. And as a yoga teacher, you'll need and love this too! When anything is new, or we feel uncertain, humour and fun is often the best way in, and this is why I love my word shimmy! Let's get the pelvis moving, not because we've got a load of stored-up emotions in the hips, who knows if this is the case or not, but because it's fun, feels good and frees up the potential for movement in the whole body.

Today's episode is the second in a 4-part series of mini-teaching clinics, where I'll explore an aspect of yoga teaching. I was asked why Trikonasana is considered dangerous by someone in my mentoring programme! Is it dangerous? Well, it's not life threatening, and the human body has an infinite possibility in terms of movement, I'd love to see us all come to a place where we stop making judgements about whether or not someone should be doing something or not. Who are we to limit our students and say that something isn't safe? Our role is to invite our students to explore all areas and angles of their body, from a place of knowing what is and is not for them. In this place nothing is dangerous! The challenge with Trikonasana is our hyper-mobile student, which will probably be you and most of your students. Hyper-mobile knee joints mean we'll be locking out into the knees, driving a load of weight into the knee, hip and ankle joint, not to mention the torsion in the S.I joint. All of this leading to a slow build-up of damage over time. Trikonasana is not dangerous, but we do all need to pay attention to the knee joint and break free of the traditional shape and entry and exist in to it.

Today's episode is the first in a 4-part series of mini-teaching clinics, where I'll explore an aspect of yoga teaching. Today is posture, why there is no such thing as good or bad posture, or 'correct' alignment. How using such terms can actually feed into our students' stories about their bodies, and their beliefs, and remember our beliefs inform our actions! What do we mean by posture? What is the alignment we are guiding our students to? It is their own unique posture, their own unique expression of their anatomy! Now I won't lie, this isn't easy, but it is possible, and I use Tadasana as a classic example of how too many verbal cues and instructions actually get in the way of our body's ability to self-regulate.

A minisode today and one simple question – are you ready for the Autumn term? Do you know your class teaching schedule, is booking open? Do you have planned workshops booked and advertised? Do you have new courses and planned launches? Do you have a plan to bring consistent income to your yoga business? Today's episode is all about planning, and working in a proactive way, not reactive, this will create consistent income and help you avoid the 'eek I've got a workshop next week and I've not told anyone!" To be honest with you here I used to be so reactive, and it's stressful, planning for profit is integral to your business. The summer is also a great time to get in some extra training to get you Autumn ready, and this is where my flexible online training courses are brilliant in your busy summer months!

Very short one from me this week, because I want you to head over to my interview with Ruth Gilbey on The Inspiring Women in Business Podcast. LISTEN HERE - https://www.ruthgilbey.com/blog/podcast-ep44 Ruth has been my online business coach since June 2022, and working with Ruth has revolutionised not just my business but my life. Thanks to Ruth, that online business, where I have time, freedom, and help loads of people is now truly becoming a reality.

Today's title is slightly misleading, this isn't about whether yoga has a place in gyms, of course, it does! Movement is movement and yoga should happen EVERYWHERE, and the more people that have access to movement, whether we want to label it as yoga or not the better. Today's podcast is all about how our beliefs and assumptions create our reality and lead to our actions, or often inactions. For example, do you believe yoga in gyms is taught by an unqualified yoga teacher, and won't be a real yoga class? Maybe it is, but what if it isn't and you've got a great teacher round the corner from you, and even if it's not quite what you expected movement-wise, I bet you'd have a new experience and learn something! Or like the yoga teacher who inspired today's episode. She believed that people in her area only want yoga in gyms, and therefore there was no point trying to set herself up independently, the result of her actions was she hadn't tried or considered the notion that not everyone wants to do yoga in a gym environment. Teaching yoga in a gym can be a one-way yoga teachers earn money, some starting out find this a great way to receive a definite income and not have to worry about all the admin and business side of things. Other teachers choose long-term to teach in a gym environment for these very reasons. Some start in gyms and when they are ready branch out into creating their own offers. It is all welcome, and all that matters is you do what is energetically right for you. Today's episode is also influenced by one of my teachers, Stephen Braybrook, aka the Movement Man. Who lost his fight with cancer this week. He always said movement was movement, that what matters is we just move, and move in lots of new and exciting ways, and better still without the labels that we attach to the shapes we make in yoga, as these labels create beliefs, and this can inhibit our movement. On the topic of Stephen's brilliant brain and teachings, if you could do me a favour and also listen to this episode of the embodiment podcast back from 2018 which is an interview with Stephen, I would be deeply grateful, it could also change the way you view the human body! Listen here - https://embodimentunlimited.com/31-non-conformist-biomechanics-with-stephen-braybrook/ And remember movement is movement, how you move is an expression of your creativity, we will be more creative in places where we feel safe, these are Stephen's words. Therefore, yoga must happen everywhere, from dedicated studios to gyms to village halls, to schools and prisons, as we'll all have our unique place of safety.

What success is for you and how you achieve it is ultimately completely unique to you, but if you asked me what my 3 top tips are for having a successful yoga business these are them: Sell more and remember my mantra "make offers, make money, make offers often" - from a place of non-attachment to the outcome. Turn the spotlight from you to those you will help by teaching yoga to them. We can't fight against being human, our beautiful brain will always kick in to keep us safe and prevent us from failing, but when we focus on helping others navigating the mind becomes possible. Invest in you and your business beyond just more training! Yep, that's right work on the business stuff too with a coach or mentor who's been there and can guide you to where you'd like to be – like me!

Do you teach 1:2:1 yoga classes? Why might you choose to teach 1:2:1 yoga classes? What are the pros and cons of teaching private yoga classes? A great request episode today where I answer those questions above. What I find is most yoga teachers that offer 1:2:1 classes are under-charging and have no cancellation policy. As a result, income from 1:2:1 is inconsistent, and long-term not sustainable. A 1:2:1 yoga class demands your personal time and energy, and the price should reflect that. Not to mention everyone benefits from consistent practice and your offer should be structured in a way that encourages this. When you get this right teaching 1:2:1 to the people who need and want to access yoga this way can generate consistent income, without needing a huge following on Instagram!

Scarcity vs. Abundance In today's episode, I explore two topics I have discussed before: scarcity and abundance. A scarcity mindset is one based in fear, where we believe there is simply not enough for us all, and from a yoga teacher's perspective this will look like a belief that there are too many yoga teachers and too many teacher training courses, there simply cannot be room for you. An abundance mindset is the opposite, one where we know there is room for us all to thrive, that there is more than enough for everyone, including students coming to our yoga classes. I argue that it is a pretty human response to have a moment of scarcity, our beautiful brain is hardwired to keep us safe and protect us, if we fear there is not enough, of course, we will have a response. Maybe abundance feels a step too far? What if we step into an energy of sufficiency, there is enough for us all to have what we are being called to do. Or better put we step into the vibration of love, celebrating the successes of others, knowing they light the way for us all. There truly is room for us all, room for your uniqueness, tap into this and keep a check on thoughts based in lower vibrations of fear.
