For Heart-Centered, Divine Feminine Yoga Teachers:

The Thriving Yoga Teacher Program:
Unleash Your Passion, Deepen Your Service

to the World, and Finally Fulfill Your True Purpose

From my heart to yours, a letter to Yoga teachers everywhere:

Isn’t the work we do amazing? It feels so wonderful to teach Yoga and see your students become more relaxed and peaceful. I love the feeling I get at the end of each class – I am present in my body, feel deeply connected and more alive. How about you?

As yoga teachers, we love the work we do, but we may not love what it takes to build our businesses. We go to our teacher trainings and learn so much about asana and the deeper philosophy, but no one prepares us for the ups and downs and daily realities of being a yoga teacher.

If you’re like many of my clients you may be feeling:

~ All alone as a Yoga teacher, thinking everyone else has it together except you

~ Doubtful and insecure about what you have to offer

~ Like you’re spinning your wheels, full of ideas, with no clue where to start

~ Overwhelmed with all that it takes to expand your teaching

~ Disappointed that you are not making the income you had hoped

If you are feeling even one of the above, read on. . . . The world needs you to shine! Our planet is about to go through a POWERFUL shakedown. 2012 is destined to be a year like no other, and beyond that, many more changes are on the horizon.

As Yoga teachers, we have so much to offer to help others navigate these changes with compassion and wisdom. We show people how to live healthy, joyous lives, and we transform fear and anger into courage and love. We bring light to our students and classes, helping to birth a new reality into being.

And even more importantly . . .

You have your own UNIQUE passion. No one but you can

shine your light. The planet needs YOU

to actualize your life purpose.

But you can’t do it if you’re struggling with overwhelm, confusion, and self-doubt. You can’t do it if you’re stuck playing small.

 

I know because I’ve been there. Since I first became a Yoga teacher in 1995, I’ve been through many ups and downs on the journey to manifesting my vision. Now I can truly say that I LOVE my work. Every day I contribute to the lives of others in a way that absolutely nourishes my soul. I have a thriving practice with a waiting list. Best yet, it feels fantastic to know I’m fully living my purpose.

But it wasn’t always like that. For many years I struggled with confusion and doubt, not sure how to contribute in the way I was meant to.

I was extremely passionate about bringing forward women’s voices in Yoga and undertook graduate research in this field. I wrote about the Moon Salutation, giving workshops and trainings.

Later I was led to research the ecological roots of Yoga, gathering Yoga teachers together for collaboration and creative expansion, leading to my PhD and founding a non-profit, the Green Yoga Association.

On many levels I was extremely successful.  The Green Yoga Association initiated a nationwide movement towards greening Yoga studios, shifted the media conversation to include taking care of the planet as part of Yoga, and opened the market to non-toxic mats. We produced two conferences and a Teacher Leadership Program, and were featured in over 15 Yoga and other magazines.

But what really hamstringed me was not having a business model that would put the organization on solid ground financially. No one had ever taught me how to run a successful business.

Even more, I had absorbed multiple messages that money wasn’t supposed to matter to a Yogini. Yoga is all about non-attachment, right? If I were a spiritual being, the money would just show up without the need to plan for it.

Well, that didn’t work, and everybody lost. Ultimately, I burned out. I walked away in exhaustion and shame from the organization I had founded, simply because I didn’t know how to provide for it financially!

This was a major turning point for me. I never wanted to be in that position again. Knowing there had to be models out there that would lead to a sustainable business, I went on a quest to find them! I studied accounting, business planning, and marketing. I completely revamped my relationship to time and money.

The final step was releasing the self-blame and confusion that had accumulated from previous “mistakes.” I needed to free myself from that burden so I could step out with freedom and make the difference I longed to make.

Ultimately, I cracked the code.

The results have been powerful. Last year I grew the email list for my Divine Feminine Yoga Business from 200 to 4000. Over 400 people sent thank you emails in gratitude for the ways that I served them. And in the last four months I earned $30,000, more than double what I had earned from Yoga in any previous YEAR.

I am so thankful every day for my life and the opportunity to use my gifts fully. Today I serve thousands of women around the globe, helping them heal body and soul so they can contribute to healing the planet. I support Yoga teachers in deepening and extending the creative contribution they make to the world. This is my dream realized.

Now I have the resources to truly support my work, enabling me to contribute to the spiritual evolution of our species with joy and freedom. What a blessing.

 

 

“You provided the perfect space for me to create my YogaGaia curriculum and workshops. The processes you taught moved me from being mute to having the words to express this beautiful connection to the planet. And your networking led me to the exact right people I needed to help me carry my work into the world.”  ~ Yoga Teacher and International Workshop Leader, www.YogaGaia.com, Hasita Agathe Nada

 

“When I came to you I was feeling stuck as a Yoga teacher. I wanted to offer a workshop on the Wisdom Goddesses, but couldn’t find anywhere to teach it and was close to giving up. You lovingly encouraged me that I could do it, and helped me release years-old fears and blocks that were holding me back. I’m reaching out in new ways now, subbing more, I’m scheduled for a workshop, and I’m in contract to offer advanced Teacher Training. I feel so much freedom now, like there’s nothing in my way. I just feel deliriously happy and grateful. And the best part is, even if I never accomplish anything else, I now feel truly connected to my soul’s purpose. Thank you!”Mary Engel, Yoga Teacher, Phoenix, AZ

 

I’m here to help you believe in yourself and make the contribution you were born to make ~ for your own benefit and the benefit of all beings.

That’s why I created the Thriving Yoga Teacher Program.  I want to see all Yoga teachers everywhere succeed!

“Despite six years of teaching, when I came to you I was feeling overwhelmed and not sure where to start to expand my teaching. You helped me hone in on what was most important to me and create my own unique offering, the Yoga of Compassion. My newfound clarity is attracting people who want to support my work, and it’s amazing to see people really get what I’m about and want to participate. I recently put on an event that attracted almost 100 new people, and you helped me structure it for maximum impact and return for my business. Ever since the event there has been so much energy and enthusiasm for moving forward. I’m so excited about all the opportunities to teach and learn and grow and share the Yoga of Compassion.” ~ Betsy Gosselin, Yoga Teacher, Laguna Beach, California

 

“I thank the Universe every day for finding you. You have so much knowledge, and yet you keep it simple. I have many years of experience as a Yoga teacher, but you expanded my thinking about what is possible for me. You helped me remain clear and still in my planning, and increase my confidence. The workshop we planned together turned out beautifully, and many women had breakthroughs. The participants are looking forward to our next event.

“When I first got started I had never been self-employed, and the prospect was exciting but daunting. The skills and tools that you shared with me have been fantastic. I feel grounded now, stable. You gave me so many different ways to approach my teaching and Yoga business.  I added three new classes and tripled my income. And I’d like to share something very exciting ~ you helped me voice my heart’s desire and I took some big steps as a result. The power of intention is bringing to me what I most wanted!” ~ Hilary Bell, Yoga Teacher, Penzance, Cornwall, UK

 

“You are an excellent facilitator.  You made some really complex material easy to understand.  You were incredibly supportive throughout the program.  Your vulnerability in sharing of yourself helped us to bond and open up.  You create a safe space for individuals to support each other and go deep.  I personally have gained so much through this year.  Thank you!”  ~ Marguerite Borba, Family Health Coach/ Private Yoga Instructor, Marin, California

 

P.S. Don’t forget, the world needs you to shine your light! It is time to expand to a new level and fully live your joy.
