This has come up quite a bit recently for those of you with whom I’m working with in my mentorship programme, and it’s pretty common that we spend time (probably too much time) debating when, where and how we should do something. The bottom line is there is no one perfect time for your yoga class, and one of my favourite sayings I’ve stolen from my surfing pursuits is if you don’t go, you don’t know. Sometimes you have to test the water, see if it’s going to work and not rely on your beautiful b...

Welcome to the team my lovely – Yes, I do have a mailing list, I do send regular emails and I am making an effort to grow my list.

With the launch of my new mindset and business mentorship programme for female yoga teachers and other solo wellness entrepreneurs last week, it felt fitting to talk about the benefits of working with a mentor or coach in this episode. Today, I share with you the impact that working 1:2:1 with a coach has had on my business and of course why you should join my Prosperous Yogini Mentorship programme! Could you imagine where you’d be in terms of your yoga practise if you’d only ever practised by y...

Being a full time yoga teacher Today, I am joined by my gorgeous YTT co-tutor Jane Craddick to share her experience of becoming a full-time yoga teacher. Taking that action may seem scary and challenging but we'll find out what can happen when we follow the heart. Today is full of myth-busting evidence: Overworked, ill and broke Jane gave up her employed job to be a full-time yoga teacher and trusted this was the right path - and it was! Jane trained to be a children’s specialist yoga teacher fi...

They say running a business is 80% mindset and 20% action - this is very true! How to build a website - it’s really very simple, just DECIDE that it is going to happen. Commit, take imperfect action and make it non-negotiable, so those inevitable hurdles and obstacles don’t stop you. Dedicate yourself to learning new skills and processes and set a goal/target – 'this will happen by…….'! That mindset shift is all you need; the rest will just happen. What if you already have a website? If you alre...

After a story I encountered last week where a business owner woke up to find their FB and Instagram accounts had disappeared and trying to get someone in FB (or Meta as it’s now known!) to help them impossible, I felt compelled this week to encourage you to not just be on social media! Main takeaways from today’s podcast Do you have two-step authentication set up on your FB/Insta accounts – if not DO IT NOW! You don’t and can’t be on every platform, be where you feel most aligned and happy. See ...

Today we explore friction when it comes to running a business (any business, not just a yoga one!) Friction appears for us in two ways; friction from external events beyond our control and the friction we create. I was going to purely talk about the friction we can create in our business, but after coming to record this episode and finding my brand new (and beloved!) Blue Yeti Mic was broken, more than likely thanks to my little girl who had been pretending to do her own podcast, I had to add in...

Episode 2 – How to know what to charge After listening to episode 1 you’re now totally sold on the belief that to serve, share your passion, teach yoga, you have to have a profitable, sustainable business model. This only happens through action, so let’s get to it! How do you know what to charge for your services? In this episode, I primarily focus on the model of teaching classes, but a huge caveat here, this isn’t the only way to make money teaching yoga. This model also has a ceiling, there a...

I’m going straight in and challenging those deep rooted subconscious beliefs that I believe are collectively held by many of us (me included!) We love what we do. We do it to help people. So we feel we shouldn’t make money or it’s wrong to make money from our passion. Or we don’t fully value our skills, gifts, and experience and believe it’s hard to make money from them. It's hard to earn money as a yoga teacher? In this episode I challenge the following 3 beliefs, have you ever heard, seen, fel...

Since the covid pandemic my yoga business has grown, and a lot of that has been do...
