Before I dive in today here is my BIG invitation to sign up for my FREE live training “The Energetics of Selling”.   Happening at 8pm Monday 16th September (and yes there is a replay).

I am launching my new business and my new course Energy, Mindset, Money and More with this new epic FREE training.

JOIN HERE – https://www.amyjonesmentor.com/energeticsofselling

As my focus is all on selling, today I discuss who is ready to buy from you and therefore who you should focus on selling to.

So often we focus on needing new people and growing our audience and miss those warm and super-hot people already in front of us ready to buy!

Virtually everyone who buys into your offers will know or feel like they know you.  

On average people need 7 to 14 contact points before making a purchase of any kind, and that includes you and your services.

The people most likely to buy from you probably have already bought something from you and are ready for me.

Focus on those ready to buy, nurture those nearly ready and invite new people in to get to know you.

The warmer people get and the more hot super fans you have the more easy you will make sales.  

This takes time to build, so give it time.

Sign up for my FREE training the Energetics of Selling, and I can help you with this further.

The Energy of Selling 

Part 3 of my 3-part series – Energy is Everything!

I start with the BIGGEST invitation ever:

JOIN THE WAITLIST FOR MY NEW PROGRAMME HERE - https://www.amyjonesmentor.com/jointhewaitlist

Welcome to the third and final part of my 3-part series Energy is Everything, inspired by what is possibly my best course, and best offer to date, launching on my 46th birthday this September.

Do add your name to the waitlist, it is time to do business differently, it is time for women to rise, share their gifts with the world, help people and make money.

And as service-based female entrepreneurs this is not easy.

Why?

Because we are the product of our business, it feels like we are marketing and selling ourselves.  And selling yourself can feel really hard, not to mention a whole load of dense layers of money-mind stuff crap, all designed to keep women small and repel the flow of money.

The yoga industry is a multi-billion-dollar industry, and wellness is a multi-trillion, with a predominately female workforce.  Women are naturally drawn to caring professions and have a desire to use their gifts to heal and help.

But why in such financially abundant industries should any female service-based entrepreneur struggle to create a financially sustainable way of working?

Because we’re hard-wired to over-give, under-charge and feel generally bad when it comes to asking for money and charging appropriately.

And I know you want to help people and in this, you want to be affordable.

Well, affordability is relative and if you want to help people, create a business model where you have an abundance of time and money and my darling you can choose where to direct the excess energy of money and time that you have to whatever causes you feel passionate about.

But please stop under-charging, please stop with the crazy payment methods and please start the work on your money mindset.

It’s not easy, it’s ongoing work, but it is so needed in the world right now, but the truth is you are not meant to do this work alone, so make sure your name is on that waitlist!

One invitation this week, here it is again – 

JOIN THE WAITLIST FOR MY NEW PROGRAMME HERE - https://www.amyjonesmentor.com/jointhewaitlist

It is time to do business differently!

 

Inspired by a question someone asked me on how to manifest their dream life and my “Ideas to Action” July offers coming up, today’s episode is all about how we create.

Truth be told I struggle with the term ‘manifest’, and I cannot fully subscribe to the concept that we are responsible for all that happens to us.  We are after all human beings on this tiny blue planet hurtling through space, we have to accept there are external circumstances beyond our control.   

But our thoughts do become things, and our beliefs, which are thoughts we have continued to think over time, directly inform the actions or inactions we take.

So yes when we are in this sense responsible for the creation of our reality, I like to live by the 80/20 rule, pretty much on everything!

How to Manifest:

1. Get clear on what you do want.

2. Pay attention to your thoughts, especially the ones that are telling you “no you can’t do that”.

3. Question these thoughts, are they true – probably not!

4. Reverse engineer your steps to create what you want, and take the next available step.

Oh and give your nervous system some love, because it’s not all about overcoming the mind, you have to bring the body with you, you’re human after all!

You are not meant to do this alone, so please stop, here’s how I can help you with this work in July:

Yoga Teacher Training

Foundation YTT, specialist training in Yin, Pregnancy & Postnatal Yoga and CPD- www.amy-yoga.com 

There are a whole host of wonderful ways yoga teachers can share their gifts with the world and make money!

It is a simple fact most yoga teachers, especially when starting out and cutting their craft as a teacher, opts for the model of in-person weekly classes.  And this is a great model, and for many years this is how I consistently made money as a yoga teacher.

But…….

This only goes so far, there are only so many classes you can physically teach in a week and how many people you can fit into a room.

Other ways yoga teachers make money and share the light that is yoga, include workshops, retreats, 1:2:1s, training programmes, and cohort-based specialist courses.  These too are great, and I thoroughly recommend expanding into some of these options when you feel ready.

But……

All of the above requires you to trade your time and your services for money and this has a ceiling.  If you want to earn more and help more people, then you have to do more = burnout.

Create an online yoga course?

What if you leveraged your time for money, created online offerings which meant you didn’t always need to be physically there, or you could help way more people in one go.  Leveraging your time online opens the door on your earning potential as yoga teacher, and one I thoroughly recommend you open.

So, at this point your brain starts to tell you that you’re no good with technology, you wouldn’t know where to start or there are loads of free you-tube videos – right?!   What if this wasn't true?

Yoga teachers, I really encourage you to open this door and let me help you take those first steps to getting started online?Want to get 6 months of my personalised support in building your yoga business, including building an online yoga business?

I work with www.podbubble.com to produce this podcast. 

Here are some fact there’s just one of you and only so many people you can fit into a room, teach 1:2:1, accommodate on a retreat or teacher training course, and there’s certainly a limit to the number of weekly classes you can physically go out and teach.  

Offering in-person yoga isn’t bad (or dead), but what if you added in an online offer too?

What if you created a class, a course, a membership or an online teacher training programme, and it meant you could help more people in less time and make more money?  Which in turn gave you more energy is all areas of your life – including showing up for your in-person clients!

What if you just committed to the action and created an online yoga business?

At this point your brain is probably saying some of the following:

• I have no idea where to start
• I have no idea on the tech front
• I have no idea what to offer online
• I am not ready (one more training course…….)
• I’m not great on video and my bum will look big (the last one was definitely one of my blocks!)

Of course, your brain is doing this – she wants to keep you safe, so thank your beautiful brain, move on and listen to Leah’s inspirational story.  Leah is a great person to learn from, she’s a couple of years into building her online yoga business, and she’s those few steps ahead of where you are now.   

Your beautiful brain will most likely be drawn to the big names, those with huge online courses business (who BTY probably have been in the game for 10 plus years and have a team!)  They prove it’s possible, if they can do it so can you, but also look for those a few years ahead of you, they’re often the ones who can help you the most when you start out.

This episode is insanely good – I am just going to say LISTEN, soak it up and take it all in!

For UK based yoga teachers the answer to this may surprise you – NONE!  Yoga is not regulated by the UK government, not only that there is no legal requirement to have public liability insurance to teach. So there are really no qualifications that you need to be a UK Yoga Teacher, from a legal point of view.

Now I’m not suggesting for one minute that you just go out tomorrow and start teaching, leave out the giant step of training and what I believe to be the essential step of having insurance.  But it’s worth noting that this self-regulating (as it is un-regulated) world that is yoga teacher training is totally made up!

This isn’t a bad thing actually. I think the pros greatly out way the cons, but it can make it tricky navigating how and who we should train with.  And it doesn’t get much easier to navigate from a trainer’s perspective.

There’s not a one-size-fits-all in terms of education (that’s education full stop).  It is a good thing that there are many ways to train to be a yoga teacher, this choice means you can find the right course and trainer for you.

Advice for yoga trainers!

And if you’re a trainer here are some truths: in-person isn’t better than online, it’s just different; 3-to-4-week intensive YTTs are not bad, they’re just one way into the profession that really works for some; and your course is totally unique as it’s created by you, which is why there is room for us all.  

The reality is nobody cares how long you’ve trained for, how, and who with.  The only person who cares about this is you, so focus on what will work for you.  Avoid getting stuck in ‘training procrastination’ once you’re trained just get out and teach!

Don’t forget the power of a specialism, such as pregnancy or yin yoga, and these shorter specialist trainings can be a great doorway into teaching yoga for the right person.

Work with me?

I’ve been a trainer for over 6 years now, and you can train online with me in pregnancy, postnatal and yin-yoga, check out all the courses here - https://amy-yoga.com/yoga-teacher-training/

According to google in 2022, the average salary of a UK-based yoga teacher is somewhere between £25,000 to £32,00 per year.

I know from my experience of mentoring female yoga teachers that this figure can vary wildly and truth be told today’s podcast isn’t actually about average salaries of a yoga teacher based in the UK.  It’s about the mindset of money and how our collective beliefs could be keeping our incomes way lower than they should be.

Here is some interesting data from Google about the yoga industry in 2022:

• UK yoga industry is worth approx. £926 million
• Globally the Yoga Industry is worth somewhere between $37 to $88 billion (several figures for this one!)
• 75% of all yoga teachers are women 

Add into this on average men still earn more than women in every country in the world.

Women are hard-wired to over-deliver and under-charge, we’re long-term suffers of imposter syndrome, and all of this keeps us under-valuing what we bring to the world, under-charging, and burning out!

Ever questioned why yoga teachers believe it’s hard to earn money when the industry (let alone the wellness industry!) is worth so much?

Ever questioned why men earn more than women?

When we begin to question what we just accept as truth we can start to re-write these truths, and I want a world where women know the value of their gifts and charge appropriately, creating a business that energetically and economically supports them and makes the world a better place!

3 top tips to improve how much you can earn as a yoga teacher:

1. Do the maths on all your offers, what is your profit after costs (do you need to charge more, probably!)
3. Keep doing the maths, track your money in and out of your business and commit to making profit a habit.

4. Leverage – teaching weekly classes will only take you so far.  I love my weekly classes, but they are just part of my yoga business.  To fully share your gifts with the world and earn more money as a yoga teacher you need to diversify your offers and learn to leverage your time (more on this to come!)

Being stuck in the feeling of overwhelm is certainly one of my most common self-sabotaging behaviours!  Is it one of yours?

That feeling of having so much to do, that we don’t know what to do, or how to do something, keeps us spinning around in circles, wasting negative energy, and ultimately doing nothing!

Feeling overwhelmed is pretty understandable as a solo entrepreneur, we wear many hats and have many roles within our business, teaching yoga is the service we offer, this is just one part of your yoga business. 

Overwhelm is a stress response, a negative one and that’s never a good thing.

How to navigate overwhelm

Here’s how to work your way out of feeling stuck and overwhelmed:

1. Come up with a strategy - what are the steps needed in order to complete the task(s) that currently feel impossible?
3. How much time will this take? (Be generous with your time)

4. Set aside time to do this task and commit to doing nothing else in that planned slot of time.

Other useful tips

• What are your glass balls and what are your plastic balls e.g. what can you drop for now (the plastic ones!)
• Can you get help from friends, family, or paid help.

Today I am inspired by a brilliant quote by Denise Duffield-Thomas - “Mindset is everything, the rest you can google”.

She couldn’t be more right!  Everything on the tech front can be figured out, and teaching is a skill you simply have to practise (so get out and teach btw!), keep practising and just share your love of yoga, the rest will follow.

But your beautiful brain may have other ideas!   Your brain is hardwired to keep you safe, loved and alive – thank you dear brain!  But this sometimes impacts our thoughts and therefore you must remember this formula:

Your thoughts create your beliefs, your beliefs inspire your actions (or non-action), and your actions create your results.

This cycle is going on in every aspect of your life, including your yoga business, and right now a whole load of mind-stuff trash could be stopping you from sharing the gift of yoga with the world and making money!

This isn’t about over-come self-limiting beliefs, I’ll tell you now you can’t overcome being human, so give up on that endeavour, plus being human is pretty cool!  

It is sometimes about feeling the fear and doing it anyway, but largely it’s about working from a place of compassion and expanding your zone of comfort.  This is how you create and grow your dream yoga business.

It is not easy doing this work alone, and the good news is you don’t need to!

It is pretty understandable if your beautiful brain right now is in panic mode, and assuming that people will no longer be able to afford your yoga offers.

But this is simply not true, the previous recession in 2009 and the covid pandemic proved that despite these external events the yoga industry continued to grow.

The world needs yoga, especially in times of stress!

We can’t control external events, but we can control our response.   Imagine if you pretended that covid didn’t happen and continued to try to keep your in-person classes going during the lockdown.  It simply wouldn’t have worked.

The same is true now, you can’t pretend that the recession isn’t happening, and it’s prudent to begin to consider if you need to, and how you may adapt.   Yoga teaches us nothing is constant, everything is subject to change and this applies to your yoga business.

The definition of madness is doing the same thing and expecting a different result, so if you have something not working, perhaps it’s time to mix things up.

How may you adapt and diversify your offers to continue to serve?  100% review your prices, if your costs have gone up, or you adapt your offers to add more value, your prices should reflect this.

And remember, despite external events the yoga industry has grown and is projected to continue doing so!

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 brain’s assumptions.

A little caveat here is to not spread yourself too thinly when it comes to the number of weekly classes, sometimes less is more, get those 1 or 2 classes full first before you add more of the same class to your schedule.

Why run your yoga business alone?

Deciding all of this stuff alone is not easy, being a sole trader or solo entrepreneur, means that you are your own boss, and that you answer to you and to you alone!  That’s one of the massive pros of working for yourself, but the con is when making decisions we can drive ourselves mad going round and round in circles!

The benefit to those in my Prosperous Yogini Mentorship programme is that they can ask me for support anytime, and I guide them into making the right decision for them.

So why do this alone, when you don’t have to?

If you don't yet have a mailing list, have a vague notation that you need one, and would like to not have to rely solely on social media then this episode is for you!

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.

How did I get to this place, well it’s very much like episode 5 and how to build a website, I just decided it was going to happen!

It is very easy to slip into overwhelm with all the things you ‘should’ do when it comes to email marketing, the net result is many of us completely right it off as something we can't do (that’s for 'clever' trained people or lucky yoga teachers who have just somehow made it happen?!)

Where to start when using email marketing

No. You can 100% do this and any yoga teacher that has made it happen, isn’t lucky, they’ve just proved it’s possible and you can do it too.  Here and my 3 basic steps to get started:

1. Sign up to an email marketing provider – I really recommend Mailerlite (and please use my affiliate link if you do sign up with Mailerlite).  But other ones include Mailchip, Converter-kit, and Active Campaign.  Or if you have a Wix or Square space website, or use Kajabi, they all have email marketing built in, so use what you already have.
3. Any emails you have from clients that come to your classes, workshops etc, email them and invite them to join your mailing list (you need their permission).

4. Send an email to your list – however ever big it is!

My mailerlite affiliate link - If you’re interested in signing up for mailer lite and would also like to support me (thank you!), please use my affiliate link to sign up to create your Mailer-lite account - https://www.mailerlite.com/a/1rinot31bzfg

Once you’re at this point next steps include:

• Adding a subscribe here/opt-in on your website (you-tube will tell you how to do this!)
• Create a lead magnet (say what?) – this is a fancy term for 'offer something for free'!  For example, access to a class recording, mediation, PDF workbook in exchange for their email to encourage people to join your list.

And remember, they are people, not email addresses, so talk to them via email. This is your email marketing strategy!

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 yourself and did the odd free class on YouTube?  The power that a good teacher has to support, inspire and encourage you in the right direction is priceless. For example, I personally would have never tried inversions if it wasn’t for the support of my teacher encouraging me to expand my comfort zone and try them!

So, my big question to you as a business owner is, why are you trying to do this alone?

I’ve been there, tried to muddle through by myself and lapped up all the free training going, but committing to investing in group programmes, memberships and recently working 1:2:1 with a coach has been some of the best decisions I have made for my business.

What often stops us is fear of spending the money, but any good coach, mentor or group programme will help you make your investment back and some.  What mainly stopped me for so long was imposter syndrome, the fear that when someone who knew what they were doing might look at what I did and tell me I didn’t have a clue or was doing it wrong.  Imposter syndrome is so powerful, we all suffer from it, and I wish I ignored it way sooner!

My human design type is a generator, which is why you will always see me flowing with new ideas, and my strategy is to respond.  Ask me about your business and I am in my happy place, I love responding to your questions and I love nothing more than helping female soul-led entrepreneurs to do what lights them up and make money.

As I said in today’s episode I truly believe this is my contribution to making the world a better place, the more horrific the news gets, the more fire there is in my belly to help women find aligned ways of being and working, that bring more balance, joy and harmony to the world.

Undoing thousands of years of programming that has kept us from fully sharing our gifts, being our true authentic selves, and feeling wrong talking about money, let alone asking for it, is not going to be easy.  

But I am here for the journey and I invite you to come with me, women it is time!

And I hope you can see from today’s episodes that all you feel and experience as a yoga teacher and a female soul-led entrepreneur, is true for others too.

I also hope you can see that my 24+ years of experience in education and 14+ years of experience as a female entrepreneur means I’ve got plenty of ways I can support you.

It was a joy to answer the questions today that ranged from navigating dropping class numbers, building online courses and signature programmes, creating consistent streams of income, and really the big two for me:

1. How do we stay grounded and connected in business when, like the rest of the human race, life happens to us?

2. How do we sell ourselves and our services, because even just showing our faces can be damn scary?

Yoga Teacher Training

Foundation YTT, specialist training in Yin, Pregnancy & Postnatal Yoga and CPD- www.amy-yoga.com 

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 first, then did a 4-week intensive foundation YTT - there is no one 'perfect route' into being a yoga teacher.

• Working harder doesn’t necessarily equate to more money.

The power of collaborative working

Running my teacher training with Jane has also driven home to me the power and importance of collaborative working.  Being a yoga teacher can be a lonely life, finding like-minded teachers can transform your business.

Why not train to be a yoga teacher with Jane & I?!

Today’s episode also seems like a good opportunity for Jane and I to encourage you to join our 300hr Foundation Yoga Teacher training course this Autumn! Committing to training to be a yoga teacher is a big, scary decision but it's one that can change your life!  It's time to invest in yourself.

There will be something that deep down you really want to do, change happens when you decide to do it, and have faith you’re on the right path.

So much easier said than done!

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 already have a website this episode is still very much for you, as I bet there is something you’d love to do right now but feel that you can’t or are stuck in the feeling of over-whelm.

I can speak with serious authority on this as I am no website designer! I had a rubbish, basic website for 12 years but my website was a big part of my business being profitable and successful.  If I had taken it down because I thought it wasn’t good enough, or too basic this would have been a serious mistake.

I have now invested in a new website, which someone professionally built it for me, but I can still edit this site and yes do encounter the odd hurdle and maybe a few technology tears now and again!

But this is all part of sharing my light with the world, which like it or not is online and I still frequently ask google if I want to know something.

The mindset shift

Decide, commit to the process, and take imperfect action – I CAN!

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 social media as the icing on the cake, the last 10%, the invitation to your yoga party, calling out those you think who may like your party, and be ok with some people not wanting to come!

But know

• That not everyone is on social media.
• Not everyone sees your content (aka party invitation).

If you’re just on social media you’re creating friction, those who are not can’t find you!  Not to mention the massive friction you’ll experience if for whatever reason you lose your accounts, and this happens ALL THE TIME!

Actions yoga can take now

• Get a website, Wix, Square or Word-press can all help you quickly and easily create a good-looking site at not too much expense to you.
• Or if you don’t want a website, have a landing page, a one-page website that helps people find out about you and buy your offers.  This can also be the one link on your Instagram page.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBjB6VMaKo4

Email lists, landing pages and Mailer-Lite

Opening the door to grow an email list is one of the best things you can do. This can be done for free or at very little cost per month (like £9.99 pm)!  I love Mailer-lite; you can start using it for free and then the paid option will more than likely give you all that you need for life!   Plus, what’s more, it’s not just emails that it creates, but also landing pages, so you can solve your website and email list building issues in one go, at very little cost to you.

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 the impact of external friction and how to manage and respond to this!

External friction in your yoga business

Events beyond our control - illness, problems with physical spaces, issues with technology, managing students/clients and not to mention global pandemics, wars, and economic crises.   All beyond our control, all have the power to cause us friction, frustration, and discomfort and leave us with a feeling of perhaps it’s best I give up!

They’ll always be points of friction in your business the trick is knowing the process to navigate these moments.

Are you creating friction in your yoga business

• How easy is it for me to book on to your classes or buy your offers?
• How easy is it for me to give you money?
• How easy is it for me to navigate your website?
• If you don’t have a website (don’t panic), but if you’re just on social media what happens if I’m not or you lose your account?  (Cue major source of external friction!)
• Do I have to complete a form or make a discovery call first?  If yes is this appropriate to the offer?

Put simply in the words of the brilliant Denise Duffield Thomas – A confused mind says no!

And our overstimulated, busy minds say no very very quickly, make sure your messaging and copy (anything you write) is clear and easy to follow!

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 are only so many classes you can physically teach in a week and if it’s in-person only so many people you can fit in one room!

But my nifty little equation, a + a = everyone is happy, (yes not a figure in sight), works for any offer.

You know the importance of balanced energy, for your price to be right long-term the energy out must balance the energy in.

Here is where data and woo-woo meet, you need to know the facts, what does it cost you to run this offer?   Always start here!  Then take time to shift through the noise stuff, until you find a price that says “hell yes”, that's your inner wisdom, intuition talking.

It’s a process of time, practise and patience - just like your yoga practise!

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, felt, or said them yourself – I know I have!

1. It's hard to make money teaching yoga (especially when you first start)
3. It’s wrong to make money from teaching yoga

4. It’s wrong to talk about how you make money from teaching yoga, it’s wrong to talk about money.

What we appreciate appreciates, I encourage you to use what you know, mantra, and affirmations – “It is safe for me to make money teaching yoga”.  In fact in order for you to fully serve your students it’s your duty, so you can show up with abundance.

Money doesn’t care if you are a yoga teacher, how long you have been teaching or what your website looks like!  It’s simply a medium of exchange, the energy of your services for the energy of money.  Yoga teachers, you know that we strive to have our energies in balance; there is no difference here.

Take what I say today; sit with it (yes meditate and listen)

It is safe for you to make money (teaching yoga)!

Show notes

From my experience of training yoga teachers and working with women to create sustainable, profitable yoga businesses I found that the same issues came up time and time again.  After repeating myself for too long I am now on a mission to help you over come self-limiting beliefs, banish business overwhelm and take action to create a sustainable, profitable yoga business, that serves you and your students. 

Since the covid pandemic my yoga business has grown, and a lot of that has been down to investing in myself and studying business (along side the yoga!)  I soon realised that the principles of how to run an ethical, thriving business are the ones as yoga teachers we already know through our practise of yoga.

Our hard wired belief systems often tell us it’s hard to make money teaching yoga, we shouldn’t make money teaching yoga, and so often as women we focus on serving others above ourselves.  Today the yoga business is worth around $88 billion dollars globally, and £908 million in the UK.  Women make up around 75% of the yoga teachers in the world.  So why not you?  Why can’t you create a profitable, sustainable business that helps people and allows you to thrive?

This podcast will also be helpful to any female wellness entrepreneur, although I will often take a yoga focus the principles are the same.  And just to let you know the wellness business is currently worth 4.4 trillion dollars!

Season Finale!

Two years in, 104 episodes, 9000+ downloads and the end of season one, where do I begin?

Firstly, a huge THANK YOU to everyone who listens and supports me, I am so grateful to you all, you are the reason I show up every week.

Stepping into the world of podcasting has taught me a lot, all of which is transferable to life and business!

1. Consistency is king, but you can only be consistent if you are doing what you love, and I love to talk!

2. You have to allow yourself to be a beginner, to start something new, we all start from zero.

3. The power of connection and community always comes before sales, people have to know you before they buy anything from you.

4. The greatest joy from podcasting for 2 years has been all the positive feedback and help that I have offered to other yoga teachers and female soul-led entrepreneurs.  I cannot wait for more of this!

As we enter season 2 you will notice a little shift, but this shift has been obvious as my episodes evolved, I just haven’t been brave enough to say it, but I am literally coming out!

I am stepping into my new role as a business and energy mentor for female-soul-led entrepreneurs, the epic work I do with yoga teachers and yoga teacher training is going nowhere, but my mission is to help more women do what lights them up and make money, and season 2 of the Prosperous Yogini Podcast is coming with me on this mission, so let’s go!

When you find your zone of genius, you find your flow, you find what you truly came here to do in this given moment.

The zone of genius concept is not mine, it belongs to Gay Hendricks and I strongly recommend you read his book The Big Leap, to fully understand it.

To find our zone we have to go out play, test, and learn, and I believe sometimes get it wrong in order to get it right.

I love the concept as it reinforces the mindset that there is room for us all, we are all unique, and individual, and the competition we feel and perceive is false.

We can struggle to find it, especially if we are being called to do something radically different from where we currently find ourselves.

Societal beliefs can often see us conforming to paths away from our zone!  The weight of I ‘should do this’, weighs heavy on us all.

Your zone of genius is that place where you feel totally lit up, where if it’s work it certainly doesn’t feel like it.

We all have this place, and my mission is to guide more women to do what lights them up and find their zone.

After an incredible week where I launched my new “Ideas to Action” in-person coaching workshop this was the message that came through loud and strong to share on my podcast this week:

Scarcity is a lie.

A lie that drives fear, and non-action, and at its worst causes us to be unkind and make judgements of others.

All of this negative energy keeps us small and blocks the flow of money and joy to us.

What we focus on expands.

Other female entrepreneurs doing what you want to do, and having success are not stealing anything from you, they simply lead the way.

There is room for us all.

Scarcity is a lie, fed to keep us small, it’s time to wake up and start questioning all that we currently believe about what is and isn’t possible.

Once again I know none of what I say this week is easy to hear, I have been there resenting another woman’s success, and not responding with kindness.   

As I evolve I am coming to accept that I am here for these difficult conversations, delivered with love and empathy, because THIS IS the stuff as a woman, as a human being, that I work through too.

As my podcast moves into its 3rd year, 2nd season, these are the conversations and topics you will hear a lot more of.

Working through the beliefs and programming that seek to suppress us is not easy, it’s virtually impossible to do this stuff alone, yet that’s what we opt for.

Episode 101 – The 3 reasons why you are under-charging

After several conversations this week around prices and money I felt compelled to discuss this topic today.

Truth is your relationship with money and money mindset is an ongoing practice, one I am still very much working with alongside you.

But the more we wake up to the conditioning and programming that has sought to keep women small, to keep money out of our hands, the more we can lead the way for future generations.

None of it is easy, sorry!

But here’s why you’re under-charging:

1. Thousands of years of conditioning from the patriarchal system taught us that money was not something we could have or should want.  We see the impact of this in the statistics of wealth in men versus women.  This system is crumbling away, and we have to seriously start to question what we’ve been told.

2. We’re all just copying each other and victims of comparison.  We’re all undercharging and comparing ourselves and resistant to being the most expensive.  What if you broke the norm for your industry, what if you led the way?

3. As yoga teachers, soul-led entrepreneurs we are doing what we do because we are passionate about our profession and want to use our gifts and skills to help people.  And getting tangled into feeling bad about asking for money for this is why you’re undercharging and heading for burnout.

I know none of what I say today is easy, but let it go in, and then do me a favour, go back over your facts and figures and I’ll put money on the fact you need to charge more!

Add into the mix it is virtually impossible to do this stuff alone, yet that’s what we opt for.

Here’s my invitation to you to stop going it alone, let’s work together:

For Female Entrepreneurs – https://energymindsetmoneyandmore.substack.com/

For Yoga Teachers – visit www.amy-yoga.com 

Eek I won’t lie today’s episode isn’t an easy discussion to have, but you know me I am here for it all, and sometimes we need to hear the difficult things.

I had a lovely teacher reach out on Instagram who’s experiencing a situation that ALL of us would feel rubbish about, including myself.

It’s that topic of contrast, the stuff we don’t want to experience.  But it’s the stuff we need, I’m going to say it’s the stuff that gives birth to our dreams!

When something happens that is causing us a problem, pain or discomfort, there’s only so long we can carry on and ignore it.  It’s there to help us grow, develop and move on to that next bigger thing.

I know how easy it is to be annoyed with all the ‘free’ yoga out there.

But what if there’s room for us all, the free classes, the paid classes, the lower and the higher priced?

What if free yoga meant that people who can’t afford to come to a paid class can do yoga, that has to be a good thing.

It doesn’t mean you have to give away free yoga, but it’s not the reason why you are struggling to fill your paid offers.

Charge what you want for your yoga classes, be the most expensive kid on the block, give away a free weekly class and everywhere in between.  It doesn’t matter, what matters you are behind you and what you do.

I am grateful for all the free yoga out there (sorry guys if that’s not what you wanted me to say!)

I feel like I’ve been promising you this episode for a while!

Today I share my experiences of owning two yoga studios, and the good, the bad, and the ugly truth of it all.

I completely understand the desire of owning your own space and all the joy that this can bring, but DO NOT sign on the dotted line until you know your numbers.

The yoga studios smashing it in 2024 are the ones going beyond the scope of a weekly schedule, they’re the ones that are building a community around the physical space, and who then buy into everything the studio has to offer.

If you are a studio owner or are thinking of embarking on setting up a studio and would like my help, you can hear from today’s episode I know what I’m talking about drop me an email at info@amy-yoga.com and we can discuss how best I can help you know your numbers, and create a plan for success.

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.

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.

Part 2 of my 3-part series – Energy is Everything!

I start with the BIGGEST invitation ever:

JOIN THE WAITLIST FOR MY NEW PROGRAMME HERE - https://www.amyjonesmentor.com/jointhewaitlist

Welcome to the second part of my 3-part series Energy is Everything, inspired by what is possibly my best course, and best offer to date, launching on my 46th birthday this September.

Do add your name to the waitlist, it is time to do business differently, it is time for women to rise, share their gifts with the world, help people and make money.

And as service-based female entrepreneurs this is not easy.

Why?

Because we are the product of our business, it feels like we are marketing and selling ourselves.

And it can feel really uncomfortable to show your face, share your voice and tell people who you are, what it is you do and how you can help them (aka marketing)

Oh, and the end part of this is “do you want it”, aka selling!

Think of marketing as becoming a magnet, you have to put yourself out there, so people can find you and see if you’re a good energetic match.

You have to attract your tribe, but as part of this you have to repel, and yes some people won’t feel energetically aligned with you, but that’s ok we don’t need lots of people to have a profitable, sustainable business, we just need our people.

And then have to be able to find us and see who we are.

So yes you do need to show your face!

This is all easier said than done, the truth is you are not meant to do this work alone, so make sure your name is on that waitlist!

One invitation this week, here it is again – 

JOIN THE WAITLIST FOR MY NEW PROGRAMME HERE - https://www.amyjonesmentor.com/jointhewaitlist

It is time to do business differently!

 

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!

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.

For yoga teachers, soul-ed entrepreneurs and anyone who loves my vibe.

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:

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 info@amy-yoga.com.

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.

Part 1 of my 3-part series – Energy is Everything!

I start with the BIGGEST invitation ever:

JOIN THE WAITLIST FOR MY NEW PROGRAMME HERE - https://www.amyjonesmentor.com/jointhewaitlist

Welcome to the first part of my 3-part series Energy is Everything, inspired by what is possibly my best course, and best offer to date, launching on my 46th birthday this September.

Do add your name to the waitlist, it is time to do business differently, it is time for women to rise, share their gifts with the world, help people and make money.

And as service-based female entrepreneurs this is not easy.

Why?

Because we are the product of our business, it feels like we are marketing and selling ourselves.

As the product of our business, we are at the centre of it, we are the golden goose, and our energy should be protected at all costs.  

Accept as women we are hard-wired to over-give, and under-charge and this dims our light and drains our energy.

But the best thing about being a serviced-based entrepreneur is there is only one of you, you are utterly unique, and your tribe will be blessed to work with you.

Honour your energy, work with it and the rest will fall into place.

This is easier said than done, the truth is you are not meant to do this work alone, so make sure your name is on that waitlist!

One invitation this week, here it is again –

It is time to do business differently!

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.

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. 

I am here to change all of this! I invite you to seriously consider joining my mentoring programme when the doors re-open on the 22nd of January. My 100-hour further training and business mentoring programme the Prosperous Yogini Mentoring Programme supports you in your roles as a yoga teacher and a yoga boss.

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:

1. Nail what you are good at, lean into what you know and love.

2. Gather your tribe, yes that means some people won’t like you.

3. 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.

I am here to change all of this!

In this week’s shorter episode, I share how I use one word to guide me through the year ahead.

I find this much more effective than New Year’s resolutions or too many goals that potentially set me up to fail!

I share the process of how I know what my word is and there is the big reveal on what my word for 2023 was!

I hope sharing the behind-the-scenes of my yoga business, shows you it’s not a straight line.  We all have things that go well, we all have things that fail, and we all have difficult decisions to make.

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.

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. 

And I believe that now is the time to join my mentoring programme My 100-hour further training and business mentoring programme the Prosperous Yogini Mentoring Programme supports you in your roles as a yoga teacher and a yoga boss.

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?

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.

And I believe that now is the time to join my mentoring programme

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.

For more help reviewing 2023 and setting goals for 2024 join my Review and Renew Masterclass Monday 18th December 7pm – 9pm, just £33!

Prosperous Yogini Mentoring Programme

During December we’ll be reviewing, reflecting and refining ready for 2024 together inside my mentoring programme.

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!  I’d love 2024 to be the year where you come on in because we truly are not meant to be doing this job alone!
