The Prosperous Yogini

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 t...

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...

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 l...

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. W...

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. ...

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 exist...

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 actio...

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 re...

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 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...

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 Faceboo...

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...

Yesterday was 14 th 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 messa...

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 mi...

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...

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? Wha...

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...

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...

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!

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 r...

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 ne...
