Yoga Teacher Resource Podcast Four Reasons to Plan Retreats A Year in Advance with Lily Dwyer Begg
Advance planning can make the difference between filling all rooms and canceling due to a lack of enrollment. In this episode, I chat with my Retreat Roadmap Collaborator, Lily Dwyer Begg, about all the benefits of giving yourself (and your students) plenty of lead time when planning a retreat.
EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:
01:02 What changed when Lily increased her retreat timeline from 6 months to 12+ months
05:20 How to make your retreat more financially inclusive
07:31 How to help your students feel more relaxed during your retreat
09:09 Why a longer timeline allows your students to enjoy the retreat BEFORE it even starts
10:07 How a longer timeline gives you more options for where to offer retreats
15:11 Why a longer timeline will help you attract more participants (and earn more money)
16:39 How a compressed timeline skews your ability to judge the potential success of a retreat
22:00 How to stay in integrity when you preach self-care
24:42 Time objections and the best/worst times to lead & launch retreats
