In this episode I share the number #1 thing that will help you build your audience online. It's not rocket science, however, I often see a lot of teachers missing this CRUCIAL step and then asking themselves "Why isn't my audience growing or engaging with me?"

And the cool thing is - you can implement what I share in this video BEFORE you have a clear business idea and it will give you a leg up no matter what you decide to do in the future. It's a total win-win situation!

About The Episode:

What happens when you love your industry but you don't love the job you're doing within it? You can leave and try something new, add another qualification to the mix or you can pivot. Cora's story highlights how it's possible to stay within an industry but pivot into new roles to keep life interesting, challenging and most importantly true to you.

We talk about a wide range of topics including aligning with your values, how to find your values, perfectionism, following your heart, to finding your voice as a teacher or leader within your profession. This is a conversation for anyone who is looking to make a shift in their career either into wellness or within their current industry but not sure where to begin.

“How do I decide on my niche!?!” 

This is one of the most common questions that lands in my inbox - and I honestly don't think it's as hard as we make it out to be.

In this episode I share:

- a definition of what a niche actually is

- the benefits to getting super clear on your niche

- and 3 steps to actually figure out a niche that is sustainable for YOU and super valuable to your students.

- And why choosing a niche isn't a life sentence (for all you non-committal types!)

In this episode, I’m interviewed by Jo Stewart & Rane Bowen of The Flow Artists Podcast. I speak about my background growing up in Canada, how yoga helped with my mental health and my first YTT in Las Vegas. We then get into juicy issues facing all of us in the yoga industry, like the systemic issues in the yoga industry devalue teachers that the average yoga teaching pay rate per class hasn’t changed in 15 years.

I then share my thoughts on how teachers can promote themselves in a way that isn’t disrespectful to other studios they may be teaching at and my personal strategy for marketing myself as a teacher.

When I launched my first website and online course in 2013, I spent over $6000 AUD and made $400 in sales (ouch). 3 businesses (& MANY learnings) later, one of the most important things I've implemented is a fundamental mindset shift that has set me up for a successful AND sustainable business.

In this episode, I share how I changed my perspective and how you can do the same. It's the advice I wish I had gotten way 7 years ago, and is perfect if you're just starting out in business OR, you've been in business a while but aren't getting the results and traction that you need to keep it going.

If you’re anything like me, and trained in yoga with western teachers (mine were incredible btw) you might not have learned much about Sanskrit in your yoga teacher training. And while I feel moderately confident in my knowledge of Sanskrit asana names, I lacked a deeper understanding of the genuine power of the “mother language of Sanskrit”, at least, that is until my friend Tara D’Cruz Noble introduced me to the work on Sunita Patil. 

Sunita has over 30 years of experience in the personal practice of yoga, and recorded 15000 hours of teaching experience. She has taught thousands of students worldwide (Australia, USA and India) She is renowned for her depth of understanding in the ancient language of yoga, Sanskrit, and has taught Sanskrit to yoga teachers and teachers in trainings all over the Sydney.

After chatting with Sunita I feel inspired to expand my knowledge (& pronunciation) of Sanskrit, and can’t wait to start incorporating the so-hum mantra Sunita shared in this episode into my meditation practice. 

PODCAST HIGHLIGHTS

• Sunita’s early introduction to yoga
• History of Sanskrit
• How Sanskrit was created vs. evolved
• Why Sanskrit is being considered for a language to teach to A.I.
• The mathematical precision of Sanskrit
• The vibrational power of Sanskrit
• How Sanskrit is at the very heart of yoga
• A simple so-hum mantra meditation practice
• Common words we mispronounce as yoga teachers
