Teaching drop in classes can be fun. You never know who youāre going to see in class, you start fresh every time & students can come and go as they please. However, teaching drop in classes also has itās limitations; itās hard to progress or build from week to week, or build a strong container as the students change from week to week.
One alternative to teaching drop in classes is THE SERIES. A predetermined number of classes, held together by a strong theme in which students register in advance to attend the whole shebang. In todayās episode I speak with Lauren Enright - yoga teacher, doula, and coach who has successfully mastered the series model of teaching classes, and agreed to come on the show today to share how she did it.
PODCAST HIGHLIGHTS
How Lauren went from studying neuroscience to teaching highschool students to running a business as a doula & yoga teacher. How Lauren built her confidence to promote herself and her workThe magic of teaching a 6 week class series (vs. drop in classes)Why 6-8 weeks is the sweet spot for setting up your class seriesHow working backwards, repetition & focusing on community can make your series a massive successLaurenās daily routine + how she stays balanced as a mom, wife, teacher, doula, coach & business ownerš Get Laurens resource guide to develop & teach your own 6 week series www.breathewithlauren.com/yogateachers

š Kajabi For Yoga Teachers
Episode Description:
Iām always doing rituals. Before my morning practice. Before I see clients, teach a class or record an interview. Bigger events get bigger rituals. And to be honest, Iāve never given it much thought, except for the fact that itās something I like to do, and so I do it. However, when today's guest, Mara Branscombe, reached out to me to talk about her new book, Ritual As Remedy, I was intrigued.
ABOUT MARA
Mara Branscombe is a mother, writer, yogi, artist, teacher, mindfulness leader, ceremonialist and spiritual coach. She is the author of āRitual As Remedy: Embodied Practices For Soul Care.ā Mara is passionate about weaving the art of mindfulness, self-care, creativity, mindābody practices, and earth-based rituals into her life and work, and she has been leading community ceremony since 2000. An adventurous spirit, Mara has sailed across the Atlantic Ocean, trekked across the Himalayas, studied yoga in India, planted trees in Canadaās north, lived off the grid in a remote cabin in the woods, worked as a Waldorf (Steiner School) teacher, and then found her passion for dance and choreography. All the while yoga, meditation, mysticism and ritual have been at the heart of Maraās journey. Her trainings in the Incan Shaman lineage and the Pagan tradition have greatly inspired her lifeās work of earth-based, ceremonial, intentional, and heart-centered living and loving. Mara currently lives in Vancouver, Canada with her husband and two daughters.
PODCAST HIGHLIGHTS
Maraās morning ritual & what a typical work day looks likeWhat makes something a ritualSoul care vs. self careThe benefits of ritual - whatās the point?Why letting go of the outcome is an essential part of the creative process of lifeWhy Mara needed to commit to self-publishing her book, before she found a publisherHow to trust your own intuition, and a story about firewoodWhy creating one small thing every day for a month can create magicMaraās best advice for folks who are stepping out on their own as entrepreneurs for the first timeFIND MARA BRANSCOMBE

To niche or not to niche, that is the question. Spoiler alert, the answer is most definitely yes, niche. But, if youāve been listening to this podcast I bet you already knew that right? In this episode Nyk Danu shares a plethora of practical skills to help you understand what niching can do for your business as a yoga teacher, and how to do it.
ABOUT NYK DANU
Nyk teaches therapeutic yoga to MisFits. Gen Xers (and sometimes Y) who donāt feel at home in mainstream Yoga circles: the rebels, underdogs, introverts, geeks, and bookworms - and she has a butt load of training and education (check her certs page on her website if you want the deets). As a Yoga Therapist, Nykās specialty is helping people with Back Pain and Anxiety. Nyk also leads a 60 HR Online, Yin Yoga Teacher Training - and I believe has one coming up in the next few months, so if youāre keen to learn more make sure to check out her website.
PODCAST HIGHLIGHTS
Why your niche isnāt the style of yoga you teachThe 3 elements that make up your nicheNykās answer to the question āIs it ever too early to niche?āPowerful questions to help you uncover your niche right nowWhy demographics are the least important part of your nicheWhy getting out of your head and into your heart might just be the key to finding your perfect nicheHow you can get super specific with your niche, while still being inclusiveWhy your deepest wounds are often your truest nicheNykās thoughts on if / when you can successfully have more than one nicheFIND NYK DANU

Have you ever asked yourself āIf I give away all this free content, why would anyone pay me?ā or perhaps youāve pondered, āWhat type of content should be free, and what types of content should be paid?ā
If so, youāre not alone. Those questions are some of the most common ones I get from my business coaching clients and LTL students. And I get it. Creating content takes a lot of time, effort and energy - all of which as a small business owner, we need to be smart about allocating.

š ZERO-50 Email Challenge
āI have 69 subscribers, have been able to offer online yoga to a growing group of students, and have since received $2962 in payments. Not bad considering I have just jumped in without a business plan or any real direction.ā - Natalie Haider, Psychologist, Yoga Teacher & Yoga Therapist in Sydney, Australia.
See that? Natalie made nearly $3000 with a list of under 100 people. Nat wrote that after taking a free, 5 day challenge with me on growing your email list. Iāll link to it at the bottom of the page if you wanna check it out.
But the cool thing is, Natās results arenāt a flukeā¦for every $1 you spend on email marketing, on average you generate $37 in revenue. Thatās one heck of an ROI, which isnāt replicated anywhere else in digital marketing.
