Join the FREE Live Workshop: Thrive Teaching Online at www.thriveteachingonline.com/workshop One of the most common questions I hear from yoga teachers is "how do i grow my classes?" Should you focus on Instagram, or YouTube or something else? In the Thrive Teaching Online Workshop I'll share a much more empowering question to ask yourself to reliably grow your audience every day, with way less effort, even when you're not teaching! Today I address the question of "what do you do when your class attendance is dropping." How do you show up when nobody shows up? I encourage you to think outside of the box of weekly drop in classes, so everything I share here will apply to classes, but also workshops, courses and other offers that I teach step by step inside of the Thrive Teaching Online coaching program. Topics Covered In This Episode 1 - Why this Bhagavad Gita quote is so relevant to your business and marketing: “You have the right to work, but never to the fruit of the work. You should never engage in action for the sake of reward, nor should you long for inaction.” 2 - The common mistake of comparing your internal experience to someone else external results. Comparing your internal thought process and behind the scenes to their likes, comments, views and shares without knowing how they got to those results. Limiting Belief: "If I want growth like successful teachers, I need to model their __________ The Truth: "If I want growth like successful teachers, I need to model their ___________ 3 - Why so many teachers fall into the "Homer Simpson With A Shotgun" method of marketing Limiting Belief: "People aren't coming to my classes because  _____________" The Truth: "People come to my classes when _________" 4 - Why you can't hide it if you start marketing from desperation. Limiting Belief: "If this class grows *then* I'll ________" The Truth: "When I know what result I want to have, I can ________ and getting that result will become inevitable." 5 - The pains of marketing from obligation Limiting Belief: "I *need* to be on Instagram"  The Truth: "I can _________ my _______________!"

I had a ton of personal and spiritual growth, but almost no material or financial growth. I moved around Austin from one guest room to another until I found a place I wanted to live with awesome roommates. When I asked how much it cost to live there I said "oh wow, nevermind, I wont be able to afford that." The cost was $500 a month. With all bills and food included.  I started to question the path I was on. How could I serve my students if I can't even pay my bills? So instead of taking another yoga training, I took a business training. For six years I studied with some of the best marketing, sales and business teachers in the world. This was not separate from my spiritual path at all. It was the best thing I could have done for my personal growth. The teachers I resonated with most lived yogic principles like ahimsa and aparigraha. They also happened to be the most successful ones.  Since then, I've become more confident, focused, and more myself than ever before. As a reflection of my internal growth, my business has seen massive growth too. After 500k+ podcast downloads and creating a six figure business doing only work I love, I want to give back. If you want to grow your yoga business and see similar results, then I created something you'll love. It's a free workshop called Thrive Teaching Online on Tuesday April 26th at 2pm CST. I'm opening this workshop to the public, and offering 1-1 mentoring to a few dedicated teachers. This is for you if you want to increase your income, grow your audience and transition to only doing work you love. My goal is to help you achieve those results and save years of trial, error, overwhelm and frustration.

As yoga teachers we all experience doubts, fears, setbacks and obstacles. That is unavoidable, and the more you teach, the more you'll experience these challenges. The question is not how to prevent them, but how to navigate them when they arise. Today I'll share how to use Vedic Astrology, the ancient sister science of yoga to better understand your strengths, weaknesses and opportunities as a teacher. I'll share examples of how I've used this as well as teachers in the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training, so that you can better live in alignment and integrity with your unique gifts and purpose.  Get your free birth chart: https://www.quietmindastrology.com Follow on Instagram: @quietmind.yoga Subscribe on YouTube: http://www.quietmind.yoga/youtube Quietmind Astrology Podcast http://www.quietmindastrology.com Thanks for listening!

As teachers it can be overwhelming to know what to focus on. There are so many amazing aspects to yoga from the anatomy to philosophy to cueing that it can be easy to want to include it ALL in every class. Unfortunately, if you try to say everything in a class, you end up saying nothing. And if you never know what to focus on when teaching your classes and your own energy will become scattered, unfocused and you'll eventually get burned out and discouraged from teaching. You might even just decide to quit teaching all together. So what do you focus on instead? It's simpler and more obvious than you might think, but I've been to plenty of classes where the teacher forgets to do this, and you may have too. It's an easy mistake to make, but it's also a simple mistake to avoid. I'll share how in today's episode!

Sign up for the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training at http://www.quietmind.yoga/ytt - Enrollment closes this Friday at Midnight CST One year ago Shannon joined the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training with no teacher training background and within weeks was teaching great classes that her classmates loved in the QYTT practice teaching sessions. After training I was looking for a new teacher to join as a teacher for the Quietmind Yoga Membership and knew Shannon would be perfect and was ready to teach. Since then she has taught dozens of amazing classes and built up an awesome library of classes in all styles with a wide range of themes from anatomy to chakras to mudras, all with skills she learned in her QYTT. She shares lots of great insights for you if you're thinking about taking the QYTT, super grateful for Shannon's insights and perspectives here! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/yogateachertraining/support
