►► TIME SENSITIVE: We’re launching a retreat (in November 2024) JUST for teachers to help give you clarity on what you want, and develop a plan to get there. Space is very limited, so don’t put off signing up if you’re feeling led to join us! Click here for more info.
Are you feeling stuck in life or business as a yoga or fitness instructor and wondering if it’s time for a change?
Like what you’re doing just isn’t working anymore?
In today’s episode we are talking about pivoting.
We’ll discuss how to recognize when it’s time for a pivot and what steps to take to realign with your purpose.
We know all too well the fear and uncertainty that often goes along with making changes in your life or business.
We’ve been through this multiple times (both individually and together as business partners) and have walked through it with coaching clients.
Nick and I share a lot of our own real-life experiences and give you a framework to walk through as you process your next moves.
Friend, I’ve been in this very place myself many times throughout my yoga teaching journey (and I’m currently going through another pivot in real time, which is what prompted this episode…which was a pivot as well, because we were originally going to talk about something else!), and I get how scary it can be.
Whether or not you’re currently facing a pivot yourself, our prayer is that this episode equips and empowers you to make a decision and helps you fast forward through some of the process (and avoid some mistakes).
So grab a cup of coffee or other tasty beverage, pull up a chair, and let's chat about pivoting.
TIMESTAMPS:
03:54 Pivoting is a normal part of business
05:35 Why is pivoting so hard?
25:50 1. Seek God
29:25 2. Seek wise counsel
36:00 3. Assess where you're at
44:29 4. Talk to your team
54:23 5. Talk to your students (maybe)
1:01:22 6. How to communicate the changes
1:12:15 7. Trust the process
1:15:43 What's no longer working?
1:20:33 What part of ME is the problem?
1:35:57 Are there smaller tweaks I could make?
1:39:28 Closing thoughts

If you’ve been alive for more than 5 minutes, chances are good you’ve experienced grief.
Chances are also good that if you haven’t already, you’ll go through seasons of loss and grief as a leader in the yoga or fitness industry.
In this episode we are going to talk about being in the valley of grief and how we can continue to lead through it and find healing.
I hope these words find you exactly where they need to. I prayed before this episode, “God, whoever needs to hear these words, would you just give it to them?! Because they've been in my head, in my notes, and all the things for the last couple of months.”
We’re going to discuss 4 things you can do to help you grieve and heal.
So if that’s you, I hope this helps you feel less alone during this challenging season and gives you a spark of hope.
Grab a cup of coffee (or other tasty beverage), pull up a chair, and allow God to use this episode to shine a light in the middle of your darkness.

Do you have a mentor?
I do, and I’m so thankful for the impacts they've made in my life and business.
In this episode we're going to talk about what it looks like when we feel ourselves needing a change and how to get the right people/voices in our lives to help us make those changes.
I’m so excited to share today’s episode with you where I speak to one of my GREATEST mentors, Sarah Hall. Everything you see and everything I do today has her fingerprints all over it because she has literally held my hand for all of my baby steps along the way.
Sarah has been a yoga instructor for 19+ years, and was offering Christ-focused yoga before it was popular. She is also a licensed therapist, a mom of four, a wife, and a devoted follower of Jesus.
My prayer is that you will be encouraged to find a great mentor for yourself and experience the same confidence and growth in your life and business!

In this episode we're going to cover 22 ways that you can GUARANTEE that you're going to burn out and burn out fast, and hopefully stay burned out for as long as possible.
Wait, what??
Why would we do this?
There’s a helpful concept called inverted thinking that can help you get what you want (or avoid something you don’t want) by looking at what you would do if you wanted to guarantee that you wouldn’t get (or avoid) the thing.
So that's what we're going to do in this episode today.
Then at the end we’ll flip it and talk about what you should or shouldn’t do in order to avoid burnout (or get out if you find yourself there).
So grab a cup of coffee (or other tasty beverage), pull up a chair, and let's chat.

We all want to make more money, and it’s good to focus on strategies and tactics to increase your revenue.
Something that’s often overlooked, however, is to implement some strategies to lower your taxes, keeping more of the money you make.
Taxes are inevitable, but there are legal (and non-risky) ways to reduce your taxable income.
In this episode Nick discusses tax strategies with his professional tax advisor, Sherry Aland, revealing some lesser known tax strategies that YOU can implement as a yoga teacher.
So grab a cup of coffee (or other tasty beverage), pull up a chair, and let's talk about saving money by lowering your tax bill.

Do you need an LLC as a yoga teacher?
We hear a variation of this question a lot, and in this episode we’re going to discuss this and a couple other common yoga business questions (like how to pay yourself).
We know that the business side of things (especially legal and tax topics) isn’t super exciting to talk about and it can get really confusing really fast. But doing things incorrectly can set you up for trouble down the road, so this is really important.

Are you unknowingly sabotaging your growth?
If you’re like many people, you’ve probably had some growth or success in an area of your life, only to have something happen that derailed you or threw you off track.
It may feel like a glass ceiling, or an internal thermostat that keeps you stuck at a certain level in your life or business.
In this episode we’re going to discuss how you’re likely getting in your own way and sabotaging your efforts to grow and develop, and what you can do to break through your glass ceiling.

Is it OK for Christians to do yoga?
Maybe as a teacher you have been asked this question, or maybe you're wondering this for yourself.
We have a treat for you today! We’re having our very 1st guest on the Jesus Coffee Yoga Podcast, our Master Teacher Trainer, Misty Elliott!
She gets to lead our teachers in training to navigate these conversations and answer these questions for themselves. So we thought, who better to lead us through this discussion?!
She has walked alongside the holy spirit in navigating these questions and concerns about facing judgment herself. AND, like many of you, she has faced ridicule and backlash for her practice and for choosing to become a yoga teacher.
She reminds us in this episode that yoga is not a religion, but a SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE. And she also reminds us that our decisions can’t come from someone else’s ideas about what we “should” do, but through our own conversations with the Holy Spirit.
If you, too, have been faced with this question, or maybe you've just pondered this question yourself, this episode is for you! Join us while we hear some of Misty’s story and discuss some of the common questions and concerns around Christians practicing Yoga.
So grab a cup of coffee, pull up a chair, and let's chat.

Do you want to take your classes to the next level?
There are some very simple things you can do to transform your offerings into an experience that keeps your students coming back for more!
I’ve been thinking about some of the things I do to create an experience in order to share them with the teachers in my local studio, and I thought I’d also share them with you!
Maya Angelou said, “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”
This quote has stuck with me for a long time, and I build my classes with this in mind!
In this episode we are going to talk about some things I do in my own classes as a teacher, as well as things I enjoy when I’m a student in someone else’s class that make it an enjoyable experience.

If I had to start all over from scratch, there are definitely some things I would do differently.
Don’t get me wrong…I love where I am today and am really enjoying what I’ve built. But it hasn’t always been easy, and I’ve made a lot of mistakes along the way that have cost me time, money, peace, and joy.
The other day Nick asked me this question: If you had to start over today, is there anything you’d do differently?
It’s a great question, and I gave it a lot of thought so I could share my answers with you!
We all make mistakes, and that’s just part of the learning process. But hopefully you can learn from my experience, fast-forward the process, AND potentially avoid some hurdles and pitfalls along the way.
So whether you're just getting started in your teacher practice or you’re feeling stuck and unsure what to do next, my prayer is that you’ll find something in this episode that will help you on your journey.

If you’re a yoga teacher, you need an email list!
Why (or maybe you’re not sure what an email list is)? That’s what we’re talking about in this episode. Even if you’re only remotely interested in this subject, tune in!
This isn’t a typical episode…it’s like a free masterclass in email marketing!
As a yoga teacher and a studio owner, I (Kristen) have neglected this for a long time, mainly because the thought of getting it all setup and adding another thing to my to-do list just felt overwhelming.
But after realizing how effective email can be both to connect with my audience AND to market my offerings, I decided it was finally time to add this missing piece to my business.
So if you want to learn more about what it looks like to build an email list and connect with your audience on a greater level, this episode is for you.

If you're a yoga teacher, you have likely experienced that moment where you just feel like giving up. I have, multiple times!
And if you haven't experienced that yet, there's a good chance that you will at some point in your journey.
So in this episode I'm going to share my story of those moments where I was completely backed up against the wall and I wanted to quit, and what I did to pivot and change the trajectory of my teaching journey and business.

Are you a yoga or fitness instructor who’s struggling with fear of some sort?
Maybe it's fear of starting something new, something you feel like you need to do or want to do, but you're afraid to do it.
Maybe it's fear of making a big change: There's something you're doing that you need to change or want to change the way you're doing it or what you're doing.
Maybe you feel like you need to say no to some things and you're afraid of how people might take it.
There's likely something that you're struggling with where fear is getting in the way.

Are there questions you wish you could ask a seasoned yoga teacher?
I know I have found myself, and maybe you have too, wanting to ask questions to someone who’s more experienced than me, but maybe I felt they were silly, or I was afraid to ask, or just didn’t know WHO to ask.
In this episode we’re going to take a peek into the mind of a yoga teacher. Several weeks back we sent out an anonymous form to our yoga teacher community and gave them the opportunity to ask us ANY question.
We had some great questions come up, and thought we’d take some time to talk through our answers with you in case YOU have a similar question.
We cover topics like:
➤ Conforming your classes to someone else’s “rules”, ideals, or preferences.
➤ How to make your classes more valuable.
➤ How much cueing is too much.
➤ How to handle language barriers with students.
➤ Adjusting your classes to fit the 1 vs. the many (i.e. you are teaching a hot yoga power class and a beginner comes in).
➤ Fear that your classes or what you have to share will “fall on deaf ears” (putting yourself out there, vulnerably sharing what God has put on your heart).
➤ Fear of online training (both taking online training and offering online classes).
➤ The value of feedback, how to get it, and what to do with it.
…and more!
So if you're curious to peek inside the mind of a fellow yoga teacher and get a veteran teacher’s take on some common questions and fears, this episode is for you.
So grab your coffee, find a comfy chair, and come chat with us.
Timestamps:
(3:21) - 1. You don't have to follow other people's rules
