Working in Yoga

The Creative CEO: Coaching, AI, and Letting Go of Shame with Bridget Regan


Listen Later

Running a yoga business isn’t all incense and inspiration—sometimes it’s spreadsheets, stress, and shame spirals. In this episode, we dive into what it really takes to lead creatively. From finding the right coach to using AI without guilt, you’ll learn how to free up your mental space, ditch the “I should know better” stories, and reconnect to the spark that made you love this work in the first place.

🧘‍♀️ Key Takeaways

1️⃣ Coaching fuels creativity.
Stepping outside the day-to-day hustle with the support of a coach can reignite your creative energy and help you see your yoga business from a fresh perspective. The right coaching relationship can shift you from reactive problem-solving to intentional, inspired leadership.

2️⃣ Problem-solving is a creative practice.
Just like teaching yoga, creativity in business comes from perspective. Move beyond putting out fires and start zooming out to see patterns, possibilities, and new approaches. The most successful yoga entrepreneurs think like creative problem-solvers—balancing micro, macro, and visionary views.

3️⃣ Release shame to unlock flow.
Shame is one of the biggest creativity blockers for yoga teachers and studio owners. Acknowledge it, feel it, and then let it move through you. Freedom and lightness—hallmarks of creativity—only come when we stop holding ourselves hostage to “getting it right.”

4️⃣ AI isn’t cheating—it’s a tool.
When used with intention, AI can act as your creative assistant. From brainstorming class ideas to managing admin tasks, this tech can support your vision so you can stay focused on your purpose and your students.
