My Journey in 2015 and 2016 – Battling Burnout

Teaching yoga brought immense joy, but it also led me down the path of burnout. Initially teaching on the side and then transitioning to full-time, I found myself exhausted and overwhelmed. It was time for a change.

Change #1: Taking a Step Back

I decided to stop teaching temporarily and hired someone to take over my classes. This break allowed me to reclaim my practice and reflect on the direction I wanted to take.

Change #2: Diversifying Offerings

I realized the need to expand beyond drop in classes. Following the footsteps of my mentors, I gradually added weekly workshops, retreats, Yoga Teacher Training (YTT), and eventually moved online.

Change #3: Shifting Mindset

Diversifying my offerings required learning new skills. The key change here was shifting my mindset from self-doubt to a belief that I could learn anything with commitment and determination.

Change #4: Embracing Failure

Instead of solely chasing positive outcomes, I started embracing failures as valuable feedback. Understanding the importance of refining my offerings based on audience response significantly increased my revenue.

Change #5: Selling Before Creating

To avoid burnout and wasted effort, I stopped creating online courses before selling them. This strategic shift prevented me from investing excessive time in courses that might not resonate with my audience.

Recap of Transformations:

🌟 Diversification: I added new offerings to complement traditional classes.

🌟 Embracing Failure: Seeing flops as learning opportunities improved my business.

🌟 Strategic Course Creation: Selling courses before creating them saves time and energy.

The High Ticket Offer Course

I recently announced my latest course, High Ticket Offer, teaching yoga teachers how to create and sell personalized 1:1 yoga programs. By announcing it in advance, gauging interest, and offering a pre-sale discount, I ensured community demand before dedicating time to course creation.

During the pre-sale, the course is only $222, offering early buyers a significant discount from the regular price of $888.

Intentional Actions for Success

Success stems from intentional actions, not a “see what happens” mentality. This approach, coupled with strategic thinking, is key to avoiding burnout and building a sustainable yoga career.

Teaching with Purpose

Despite the changes, I still teach three classes a week, emphasizing quality over quantity. Hiring additional teachers allowed me to balance my workload and reignite my love for teaching. The balance achieved by not teaching 20 classes a week has been transformative.

The Perfect Model for Sustainability

Strategically planning offerings, embracing failures, and selling before creating courses form a model that prevents burnout. My latest course, High Ticket Offer, is a testament to this sustainable approach.

Snag the Opportunity

For those ready to take intentional steps toward a fulfilling yoga career, consider joining the High Ticket Offer course before the pre-sale ends. Act now and secure the $222 price before it increases to $888.

As you navigate your yoga journey, may you find clarity and inspiration. Here’s to building a sustainable and joyful yoga practice!

Wishing you a wonderful week ahead filled with clarity on your intentional actions! 🌟
