Join the FREE Thrive 2023 Workshop to learn 6 steps to increase your income and thrive through uncertain times.
In 2022, I happily spent over $12,000 on my own business coaching. In this lesson I share some of the best lessons I learned from my experience as both a client and a coach to others, based on last year and over six figures I've both invested and earned as a coach.
In this episode I'll share:
1. How to assure you'll get the results you want in your business
2. Why a coach with a bigger audience is not always the best option for a coach
3. Why 1-1 coaching is not always better than group coaching or online courses
4. What I found can work better than 1-1 coaching
5. The #1 rule I follow as a client working with coaches
6. How to get the most value out of what you learn
For the past 3 years I've been offering coaching to yoga teachers on how to grow your online business. 2023 offers some unique challenges and opportunities for teaching online so I'll be sharing about them at the Thrive 2023 workshop.

88: Instead of ‘How' To Do Poses, Consider This
The Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training Mentorship & Certification is OPEN for a limited time now! Learn more and enroll at quietmind.yoga/ytt
On the surface yoga is all about "how" to do things. Place your foot here, reach your arm there. Do this or that. This is all on the surface, the anamaya kosha, the physical body. What's really interesting about yoga is not just the how, but the when, where and why of the poses. Everything in yoga has an energetic effect, and real mastery of yoga practice is not just about knowing 'how' to do poses, but when, where and why. What are the effects of this pose and how does it relate to others. This is something we explore in the free Deepen Your Practice series, still available for a limited time with two bonus live sessions coming this week! Learn more and enroll in that for free at quietmind.yoga/deepenyourpractice
