49. Why slow and small might be your superpower as a yoga teacher…

For any yoga teacher doubting themselves!!! Here’s an interesting quote I found one day that REALLY resonated for me…. “The thing about making it big and doing it fast in business is that invariably the first steps will be small and slow. Which oddly, for too many, is reason not to take them.” Ever felt like you’re stalling in your business? Ever invested in a course you haven’t finished then started questioning yourself? Phrases such as "I'm not sure I'm ready yet" or "it feels a bit scary...

In this week’s 12 minute podcast, I’m diving into what it really means to have skin in the game— how to tell the difference between a careful “yes” and a fear-based “no” and why the future of your having a sustainable business depends on your being willing to face that fear…….

46. How to ensure full yoga classes….

Let me ask you - How many new enquiries or trial sessions did you bring for YOUR classes last week? or last month? Do you get regular enquiries and new students coming in to your world or do you feel it’s more “up and down” than you’d like? The most successful yoga teachers have a focus and a system which - with not a great deal of effort, will bring them in a constant flow of new enquiries and leads, so they’re not left suddenly with dropping numbers and panicking to try to fill those em...

44. Why most yoga businesses struggle and what you can do to ensure you’re not one of them.

Did you know over 98% of entrants for the London Marathon cross the finish line? That’s remarkable - given the challenge the marathon represents. But did you know that 94% of yoga teachers don’t cross that metaphorical line of creating a yoga business that actually sustains them? So why do most yoga teachers end up in the 80% who are "getting by" or "broke" In this podcast, I’ll share what I learned from one of my mentors about why there are parallels between the challenge of running a ...

43. How to build a yoga business on your T.E.R.M.S.

The first steps for any yoga teacher as they embark on a teaching career often involve one of two models: You try to build your own classes; looking for halls and doing all your own promotion. Or maybe you opt for working for gyms and yoga studios thinking that will mean you don’t have to do any of that dreaded marketing, and there’s minimal admin! But many teachers hit BIG problems with these models almost from the get go. The reality is that, the gym and yoga studio model often means ...

And if there is one thing GUARANTEED to test our mindsets...it's growing a business!

41. Are you putting students off coming to your yoga classes? 5 ways you might be actually hurting your yoga business growth.

I know this might seem a crazy question! Why on earth would you do anything to put people off coming to work with you? But the truth is, as I mentor yoga teachers keen to grow their businesses, I can see they are quite clearly, unwittingly doing just that! I call it creating “friction” in your business - and if you’re not making the income you hoped from your teaching this might be a really useful episode to listen to, as I can almost guarantee there will be friction in YOUR business you didn...

40. How to delegate like a pro in your yoga business.

Over the last 3 episodes of this podcast I’ve been diving a little deeper into the whole topic of investing in support for your business so that you can focus on what you do best: teach. In this, the fourth episode looking at the whole concept of delegating in your yoga business, I’ll share some tips and suggestions for outsourcing work to other people effectively. Because, the truth is, done effectively, hiring others should also be an investment - not a cost. The whole idea is, by hir...

39. From hands off to hands on: Mastering the art of hiring and delegating effectively in your yoga business.

In the previous two podcasts I’ve shared why it’s a REALLY good idea to invest in support in your business from a very early stage and explained why it really is a false economy to think you can do it all on your own. In this episode I share the 3 ways you CAN invest in support for your business growth: in tech tools to make admin easier; in people and in yourself, and in this episode I’d like to focus on the second of these; investing in people to support your business growth.

Wondering if you need a website and considering doing it on your own even though it’s not your forte?

37. 4 reasons why you should delegate in your yoga business

“I feel like chief cook and AND bottle washer!” That’s a phrase I heard quite a bit from my Mum in our household when I was young…. It always came up when she was overworked, tired and struggling to juggle all the jobs, and Dad and I knew that meant we needed to chip in and help out! It’s a phrase I’ve used a lot myself over the years, and never more so than when I decided to quit paid employment and set up a business of my own. Because, if there’s one thing so many start up businesses find t...

35. The 3 step re-set to revitalising your yoga business dreams - part 2: Confronting external beliefs which are holding you back.

In a previous podcast looking at what holds us back from thriving as yoga teachers I explained I see 3 key things which hold us back: First – your INTERNAL belief patterns. Beliefs such as - I’m not good enough/don’t know enough yet - It’s impossible to make a real living teaching yoga - I’m not good with tech I looked at 7 key beliefs I’ve held, and I constantly see the teachers I work with hold, which I KNOW stop us from being successful, but over which we DO have control to change f...

34. The 3 step re-set to revitalising your yoga business dreams

As I record this podcast we're almost at the end of February - the first two months of the year are almost always one of THE best times of the year for anyone working in the fitness/wellness space, so hopefully you've begun the year with a good injection of cash into your business and full classes. The hope, for all of us as yoga teachers, is that interest and motivation continues otherwise we face that sometimes demoralising roller coaster of "feast and famine" So, as you look forward, to sp...

33. Advertising alchemy for yoga teachers: how to turn £125 ad spend into over £6000 income for your business

How do you advertise your yoga business? For many, on a shoestring budget, it's posting on Instagram or Facebook for free, and the mindset is one of spending as little as possible because money is so tight. And I'm all for getting as wise as possible about your advertising strategy and ensuring that whether the advertising you do costs you time, energy and money or all 3, you see a return on that investment. But one thing I also see is a reluctance to spend anything on paid advertising ...

32. The big myth around niching as a yoga teacher

In the last episode of this podcast I talked about why nailing your niche is probably one of the best things you can do to build a sustainable business as a yoga teacher. But nailing a niche is not always an easy process and there’s one thing I hear said often that I really do believe can get in the way of getting the niche right as quickly as possible so you can start standing out from the crowd, increasing your visibility and attracting students to you far more easily - and it’s this: “Do w...

31. STOP trying to teach “everybody” as a yoga teacher!

At the risk of sounding totally “un-yogic” (if there is such a thing!) I’d like to say up front there are some people I don’t want to teach yoga to! Not because I’m being mean. But because I KNOW there are some students I’m simply not the right fit for and I’d much rather make sure any potential student who contacts me has a great experience right from the outset! Think about it… Have you ever attended a class with a yoga teacher who you just didn’t resonate with? You don’t want to go back ri...
