#1 tip for packing your yoga classes & selling out your workshops

who doesn't want to teach a studio filled to capacity with wide-eyed eager yoga students?

but, packing our classes and selling out our workshops can seem like a mystery. there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the ebb and flow of students who show up, and sometimes the very workshop we think will be a popular sell-out is a total flop.

what gives?

is there any science to it? or is it completely random; left up to chance?

4 ways to use social media for your yoga business

"do i really need to use social media for my yoga business?"

i get asked variations of this question a lot.

and my response is this:

no, you don't need to do anything that doesn't feel right and authentic as you build your business, but there are a number of benefits to leveraging the power of our modern social culture as you develop your yoga brand.

(1) it gives you a place to "hang" with your students outside of the studio

(2) it enables you to connect with students (and potential students) in the way they prefer

(3) it allows you to share your yoga knowledge & help your students deepen their practices off-the-mat

(4) it's FUN!

in today's video i'm sharing 4 ways that you can use social media to connect with more students and grow your yoga community.

don't let these 3 things stop you as you build your biz!

do you LOVE dreaming about your future yoga business?

thinking about all the great classes, retreats & workshops you'll lead? all the amazing students that'll flock to your teachings? and all the awesome opportunities that will inevitably come your way once you're a world-changing yoga teacher?

dreaming is fun. it's non-committal. it's enjoyable. it's the "honeymoon" of biz building.

then, when you sit down to actually do the work, plan the workshop, send the emails, make the calls, it's a whole different animal, and RESISTANCE rears it's ugly head!

does that sound familiar? i know i can certainly relate!

resistance feels so real, so all-consuming -- it's easy to let it foil even our best intentions.

but, as with all things we need to overcome, the first step is recognition.

in today's video teaching, i share 3 kinds of resistance that you may encounter as you try (and try again) to build your yoga business. because, once you see it for what it truly is -- just an icky feeling that really doesn't hold any power -- you can start to move beyond it!

 

have you encountered resistance when building your business?
