Abundant Yoga Teacher Inaugural Bookclub!

When you run your own Yoga biz you get to set all the rules... and for me that makes being a YOGA NERD absolutely OK!

So in this podcast I'm hosting my first ever Yoga Teacher Book Club and we are talking about Guru Jagat's book, 'Invincible Living'.

Enjoy!

Taking the Next Step and Overcoming Fear

In this week's call I'm discussing with Narelle Andren, Co-Founder of Melting Pot Loft Yoga Studios in New South Wales about fear, trust, faith and calling in more than you even knew you were capable of. An inspiring conversation!

Inspiration Session!

In the Abundant Yoga Teacher Weekly Call this week I'm VERY excited to introduce you to three stellar clients of mine who are really going for it - each in their own ways - in their Yoga businesses this year.

You'll meet Karen from Australia, mother of two kids, avid learner, Reiki healer and Yoga teacher who teaches from her small home-based studio.

You'll meet Sarah in Singapore, Yoga teacher and aspiring retreat leader who has recently been published in Elephant Journal on the topic of teaching Yoga to teenagers on the autistic spectrum (an area of speciality for her).

You'll also meet Rachel from England (who I introduced you to last week) who is welcoming abundance in her life and increasingly sharing her authentic voice in her small community (at an ice cream farm!)

Karen, Sarah and Rachel have also all signed up for Growing Your Yoga Business. On the call they'll explain why they know they've still got more to learn, and why growing IN community is important to them.

Ganapati and Visioning Your Yoga Biz in 2017

In this workshop we'll be working with Visioning (governed by Shakti) and moving through an exploration of what Ganapati has to teach us with his iconography when it comes to being sweet, gentle, wise and skilful at overcoming obstacles.

Oh, and he also has the abundance piece down, being created from pure Shakti himself ;.

There is also a workbook that goes along with the training that you can access here:

Getting Clear and Empowered: Sales as Seva

In this week's call I'm going to be sharing:

- How Seva works in my business so that I generate abundance with confidence and without ever feeling icky or weird.

- How I feel completely in integrity when I am offering products and services in my business and am only attracting clients and students who desire to work with me.

- How you can drop all of the drama about being pushy or salesy with enrolments so you feel amazing talking about what you do and you're warmly welcoming in the people who genuinely need what you have to offer!

Growing Your Yoga Business: 6 Essential Steps

So you're all set to go in 2017... right?

Check out these 6 essential steps that have worked for me and my clients to have an Abundant 2017 in your Yoga business!

Why this program?

Because it's...

The money mindset of an abundant Yoga business owner

This week we are going to focus on the money mindset piece (which also forms Module 1 of the Growing Your Yoga Business Program,which is now a third full...)

Here's what I know for sure: until we address the underlying mindset piece about being aligned for abundance, no amount of nutsy-boltsy trainings are going to make a difference to the level of ease and flow you desire in your life and business.

So in the Weekly Call this week I'll be sharing some Yoga stories and techniques to help you get clear on your money mindset so you're ready to receive abundance this year.

Also, don't forget this fun bonus:

Turning Your Shortfalls Into Strengths!

Time and time again I laugh with my clients about the secret learnings we uncover in becoming Yoga Business Owners.

• Who thought upping your prices would trigger an existential crisis?
• Who knew creating a new online course would bring up your childhood junk?
• Who could ever imagine that you'd be photoshopping a friend's crotch... (Yes, that happened. Hang out here to find out more...)

As my coach says, if you want the BEST personal development program on the planet, start your own business!

So this week on the call you'll discover a simple and massively effective method to tune in to your natural tendencies. (Hint: when they are misaligned, you're playing small, struggling and being triggered. When you're attuned with them they are your biggest propulsion and strengths)

And a reminder that the $400 in bonuses

End of Year Celebrations!

This year my Sankalpa was to have the best year of my life... so far. In this call I'm celebrating all that 2016 was for me, and also sharing some reflection ideas for you to look back on your most recent trip around the sun, drawing insight from your experience.

Also, remember that 'Growing Your Yoga Business' is now open for enrolments! (And if you are looking for the VIP track it is already half full). Here is the link for more info: http://www.amymcdonald.com.au/growingyouryogabiz 

Monthly Open Mike!

Well it's nearly the end of the year and WOW have I seen some amazing growth in this community. That means it's time to celebrate all of your work, your service and your development. YES!

In this call I'm answering tonnes of your questions as well as letting you in on some very exciting news...

Enjoy!

P.S. - if you're catching this replay early, there is an even more exciting special offer for you... Here is a hint:

Feeling Supported on your Journey

On the Abundant Yoga Teacher Weekly Call this week I'm sharing some of my most favourite ways to feel supported on the 'solo-preneur' journey.

I hope they are useful!

How to Ask for Useful Feedback

I'm asked so many questions about what talented teachers should do in their classes, how they should alter their pricing or timetable and what additional offerings they should develop.

Guess what? Most times it is our STUDENTS and clients that we could be asking, afterall they are the ones who will be signing up to work with us.

And yet it can feel scary asking for feedback. What if you get something that you don't like? Gulp!

GOOD NEWS! I'm sharing in this podcast how to ask for feedback with grace and how to use it (often with even more grace!). I'll also share a few feedback horror stories with you, too, to prove that it is all surviveable! Enjoy!

Oh, and while you're listening, I'd be MEGA grateful if you could give me YOUR feedback by completing a micro survey here:

Monthly Open Mike!

Woot! It's that time of the month: I'm taking your questions and this month Leonie Beck is our superstar free coaching recipient! Yeehah! Way to take action, Leonie!

I'm also celebrating the stellar energy and commitment in this group with a sale. Check that out here: www.amymcdonald.com.au/bundles

Finding Sthira and Sukham in Your Pricing

In this call I'm sharing my (perhaps a little wacky) method to determine the best way to price for your events, workshops and classes (hint: it's how I price all of my offerings).

I'm also discussing how the role o the teacher extends to how you relate to you students when it comes to the cashola.

Enjoy!

Jambavan, Hanuman and Honest Self-Assessment

Today I'd like to introduce you to a character you might not know of.

Perhaps you've heard his name before. Perhaps you've no idea who he is.

(And yet you've known him all along!)

Meet Jambavan.

We will use his story to reflect on who you really are, and whether there are any leaps ahead for you and your biz as 2016 draws to a close.

(Have your journal and a pen ready for this replay.)

 

 

Behind the Scenes of my Thailand Abundant Yoga Retreat

Wow. That kind of sums up how AH-MAZING the group of women were who joined me on retreat last week for the VERY first Abundant Yoga Teacher Retreat in Chiang Mai in Thailand.

In this Weekly Call I'm sharing a little of what our experience was like, as well as a few ambient Thai sounds... ;)
