The Prosperous Yogini

Scarcity vs. Abundance In today's episode, I explore two topics I have discussed before: scarcity and abundance. A scarcity mindset is one based in fear, where we believe there is simply not enough for us all, and from a yoga teacher's perspective this will look like a belief that there are too many yoga teachers and too many teacher training courses, there simply cannot be room for you. An abunda...

52 episodes and a billion hours talking to myself in my cupboard later, and here I am episode 53 and I'm having a party! Or more accurately I am hosting a free Q&A call, and best of all I am not alone, some listeners have joined me from the cupboard.  Along with Pancake my golden doodle who is under my chair as I record! In today's episode, I answer your questions, from how my advice about your yo...

A great request episode this week where I share some sage advice on heading outside to teach yoga and some really funny stories from my experiences of teaching outside away from the safety of the yoga studio! If you plan to teach yoga outside, embrace all the things that happen beyond your control. And it is a very good idea to think seasonally in terms of your yoga offers.  This is what I'm curre...

In today's minisode I simply ask 'what if'? What if I try this and fail? What if there is not one path, but many and they are all available to me? What if I lean into what I love? What if I follow the feeling? What if a sea of possibilities lies ahead?

With the doors to my Prosperous Yogini Mentoring Programme for yoga teachers re-opening Friday 26th May until 9pm on Monday 5th June, today's episode is all about this amazing offer and how I turned anger into love and passion to create this magical programme. I've been training and mentoring yoga teachers since 2017, the vast majority have been female.  Time and time again I was experiencing the...

In today's episode, I am joined by Annette who joined my mentoring programme this February, and in the 3 and half months we've been working together so far Annette's yoga business has gone through a massive transformation! But it's not just my mentoring programme we chat about, Annette is like so many yoga teachers, working part-time employed and part-time as a yoga teacher.  She also trained duri...

In today's episode, I am joined by Clare from Switzerland!  Clare is currently in my mentoring programme, and we have a good chat about studio ownership, juggling motherhood, and the impact of being in my mentored by me!  Working together Clare and I have refined her already wonderful offers, created new offers maximising her beautiful studio space and are now really homing in on expanding income...

What you focus on expands!  In today's episode, I encourage you to focus on what is going well and celebrate your journey to where you want to be, to that full class. I am massively celebrating wins this week, those in my mentorship programme have made drastic improvements to their yoga business since working with me and I share a snapshot of these. And I am sharing my win of making my dream of a...

A very different episode today, I am teaching a Yin-yoga class just for you! Why? Because you and your practice matter, and for your yoga business to truly thrive, it all starts with you! *Please note the sound every now and again is a bit crackly, I was using my new ear pods, so all should have been good, but Mercury is in retrograde, and technology mishaps are happening to me all over the place!...

In today's episode, I share how my body, my teaching and my yoga business has changed over the last 14 years of teaching, alongside persuading you to train with me to teach yoga with me! Yoga teaches us nothing is constant; everything is subject to change and that includes us!  Not only do our body's needs shift as we experience life, but we're human and it's natural to have new interests and be l...

When yoga teachers join my mentoring programme a common problem for them is a feeling that they don't have time for their yoga practice and in some cases have lost their love for it! At the root of what we do as yoga teachers is simply sharing our passion and experience of the practice.   To sustainably do this for as many years as you wish your practice matters, you matter! There are many reasons...

An Easter holiday minisode today! In today's short episode, I talk about how progress is not and cannot physically be an upward trajectory.  That progress in your yoga business will have growth and rest phases. And it's the rest phases so often where the magic happens, where we receive ideas and inspiration as to where to go next. I am someone who receives a lot of ideas, and I have learned over t...

Today I am joined by my dear friend and experienced teacher-trainer Nathalie Bennett from Live Love Yoga . We share the story of our relationship, which is supportive and collaborative, based on the shared ethos that there truly is room for us all, and supporting each other to thrive is something we all should strive to do in the yoga industry. Together we discuss how our educational experiences l...

Starting Your Yoga Business - Part 2 You've just graduated from your foundation YTT (well done!) and you're ready to get teaching, but you have zero followers on social media, no website, and no mailing list. Where do you start?  Especially when it feels like an overwhelming list of things to have in place before you go and share the light that is yoga and teach a class! On the topic of the spinni...

You've been asking for some time now, so here it is, the first in my 3-part series on how to start out as a yoga teacher once you graduate from your yoga teacher training course - eek! How do I become a better yoga teacher? The answer does not lie in more training, yes that is a fun thing to do, but the only way to get better at teaching is to go out and practise the skill of teaching.  Teaching i...

A sort of mini-sode (I talk for too long, but it was my intention to keep it short!) In today's shortish episode, I talk about the power that lies in leaning into what we love, in our business and in our lives! I share my passion for surfing longboards and small waves, and how the more I allow time in my life for surfing the more my business grows – what does that tell you about energy and magneti...

This episode is the last in my 3-part series where I've picked up questions and common issues that came up during my free live launch event "The profitable Yoga Business Roadmap".  So many teachers communicated to me - for various reasons - feelings of resentment and frustration. I know that neither of these emotions are pleasant, but I'm going to go all out here and say they are a part of the pra...

Today I am joined by the gorgeous Claire Bowring, who I know very well!  Claire trained with me in 2021 to be a yoga teacher and then went on to join my mentoring programme in the summer of 2022. Claire shares with us brilliant insights into what it's like to work with me, both in a training and mentoring capacity.  She shares how she worked round her resistance to say yes to YTT, and her transfor...

Your 'why'... I spent some time wondering why do anything , and in the end I concluded why do anything if not for love ? Why do you teach yoga, what's your story? Your why should be at the centre of all you choose to do, but so often we forget our why or we say yes because we feel we can't say no.  Your 'how'... How do you want to work?  One reason I decided to be a full-time yoga teacher was so I...
