You love yoga, which is why you want to be of service and share this great tradition with others. But knowing how to teach is very different to knowing how to create a sustainable business to set you up for success in the long term.

 

Being able to teach what you’re passionate about is a privilege. But being able to teach what you’re passionate about and make a sustainable living is a gift.

While teaching yoga is an amazing way to live in alignment with your soul’s calling, it can also lead to burn out, poor self care and over giving. The tenuous balance between embodying the life you teach to others and burning the midnight oil, can be a very thin line.

Remember, you’re not meant to do everything in life on your own. We thrive as humans when we feel fully supported and nurtured by those around us. And sometimes, running a business as a one woman band can take its toll (trust me, I’ve been there). Often the best and most compassionate way you can help yourself, is to seek guidance from someone who has been exactly where you are.

It might just be you need a sounding board to bounce ideas off. Or maybe you need to talk through what your business is currently experiencing so as not to feel so alone. It might be you need a different set of eyes on your business affairs, or you might just need some much needed inspiration to get your mojo back. After all, running a business can be a balancing act that requires resilience, determination, discipline and stamina.

A fresh perspective is sometimes all that’s needed to move out of a funk and into flow.
