yoga journal conference: business of being a yoga teacher

I am presenting at the Boston Yoga Journal conference this weekend on the business of being a yoga teacher. Today I had the great honor of sitting on a panel with Lynne Beiger of Back Bay Yoga in Boston, and the well known Natasha Rizopoulos. We answered questions in turn regarding social media, networking, marketing, hiring processes, etc. The responses were poignant, and many times we came up with different views and answers. That said  - there was one consistent thread among our voices... authenticity of self in your marketing and business choices. If you don't want to twitter - don't. If you love to write newsletters - do it. If you would prefer to stand on your head in the middle of the street holding a sign between your toes that says "come to my yoga class" try it out.  But whatever choice you make in business, let it come from the heart.


I had a woman come up to me after the panel who told me she only had a few students in a new workshop she just started offering. Slightly discouraged, she was considering that maybe it wasn't exactly worth it to continue the program. My response - "You had more than one! That's great! Keep going..."  


Jen my partner at Dover Yoga & Pilates and I were talking this morning about choices in business on the drive down. She remarked that too often we are all too quick to change gears in business and not be willing to weather the storm to see the other side. I don't think this could be more true.  Anytime that I have more than five people show up to listen to anything I have to say I consider that a triumph. We can't expect to start out with a village, perhaps we start with only one person. But if we nurture and put our effort into sharing our passion with that one person it may just turn out that she is the Queen in hiding who has an entire village of people that she knows... and so your class grows.  


The question I believe we have to ask ourselves on a continual basis, especially when we are ready to throw the towel in, is whether or not we love what we do? Is teaching this workshop really making me happy or am I resentful that I'm not home with my children? Am I teaching yoga out of a place of love and joy, or because it's the latest thing I chose to do to make ends meet?  Somewhere in the middle of those questions there is a balance. If you love what you do and it comes from the heart, it shows. The joy that you exude will overflow out of you and will spread to your students, and then from those students to their families and loved ones. That is simply bound to multiply. It is the perfect equation.


Never doubt the power of your ability to teach others, or the strength of manifestation that comes from leading life guided by only your heart... authentically.

March & April News from Rasamaya

Greetings!
"Beauty is a form of genius - is higher indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation. It is of the great facts in the world like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in dark water of that silver shell we call the moon. "
~ Oscar Wilde
When I think of the springtime I think of beauty. The budding flowers, the return of the songbirds, the warmth of the sun on my skin. These simple pleasures always offer me a renewed sense of hope, mission and freedom. A chance to be reborn from the cozy shell of winter. Springtime is the opportunity to clean out the cobwebs of my heart (and my closet) and to beckon in the new.
For myself, I have all my sights set on Rasamaya's continuing growth throughout the New England community. As many of you know, this is the first year that Rasamaya will be included as a class in the Boston Yoga Journal Conference in April, which I am so graciously honored to be a part of. In addition our own family of presenters and workshops continues to expand and grow and I am so pleased to announce that our 200hr teacher training program will not only include Dover, NH this fall but also Brattelboro, VT and Salem, NH.
I hope that this springtime offers to you all of its gifts, all of its blessings, and a chance to go play and enjoy.
love. love. love.

P.S. A side note for my past and current teacher training students - don't forget to register for the Rasamaya Star Island retreat in August this year. Oh, and remember that database I promised you? It's officially in the works and should be operational by fall (all things considered).

RASAMAYA
STAR ISLAND RETREAT

This if our second Rasamaya® Teacher's Retreat on Star Island. This weekend excursion is only offered to Rasamaya® teachers and their families and will offer the opportunity to escape from reality, and find some quiet personal time to either simply sit back and relax, or to develop your movement practice in the company of others. It is a wonderful opportunity for all of us to learn from each other and expand our knowledge.
The weekend will sponsor various styles of Rasamaya® movement classes. Classes will be offered for all levels of practitioners from beginner to advanced. Attendance in classes is not required such that you can move through the weekend at your own pace. CEU credits are available for all workshops offered by 200 E-RYT or 500hr RYT/ERYT presenters.
For more information about star island please visit www.starisland.org
