The many aspects of running a business can feel overwhelming, especially when perhaps you set out just to teach yoga and hadn’t really thought about the business side of things.

In the 6-module, on-demand self-study programme, I will support you to get clear on your why, and what you truly long to do. We’ll learn to navigate self-limiting beliefs and your beautiful brain with compassion, along with easy to manage steps to create a profitable yoga business that totally honours you.
Alongside the on-demand programme you are personally supported by me over, I literally become part of your team.

There is just one of you, only so many people you can fit in a room and a limit on how many physical classes you can teach in one week.
Teaching in-person is not dead, I still teach in-person and love it!
But if you want to help more people, share your gifts with the world and raise your income potential, then adding an online offering into your business is a wise choice.
Your beautiful brain will tell you you’re not ready, you don’t know enough, the tech is too complicated and no one will buy it.
But what if this wasn’t true?
I’ll show you how to navigate the mind to work less, earn more and have a bigger impact in the world.
If I can do it you can too! Prior to the covid pandemic, I was ‘queen of cash’, had an awful website, only taught in person, and had a genuine fear of technology.
Fast forward nearly 3 years and I have an ever-expanding online yoga business, offering courses, training programmes, mentoring and memberships. I’ve worked with students all over the world, grown my income and helped a whole load more people than I could ever have imagined!
In this 5-part training I’ll show you exactly how I did it, and give you the knowledge and inspiration to share your unique gifts as a yoga teacher online. I am also an approved Yoga Alliance Professionals coach and this training is worth 5 hours of CPD points.
