This past week I've been mindful of a change in the energy in my business... due in part to a new person coming in to my life... ;) For me, it is still surprisingly easy to trip back into old patterns of thinking about a 'slowing' in business. Am I being lazy? Am I destined for financial ruin? Now I can be more playful when these thoughts arise but when I began my business journey these patterns c...

Why the Order of Tapas THEN Samtosa REALLY Matters 21.02.2022

If you’d like to hir...

This week on the pod I'm speaking again with @drlaurentober of @mentalhealthawareyoga about how to take great care of ourselves AND our students from a mental he...

Using Satya as a Practice in Your Yoga Biz 31.01.2022

Satya: living in a way that aligns with your highest truth. How does this play out in thoughts, words and deeds in business, and how can we use this as a contemplation for growth, rather that yet another thing to judge ourselves with?
