This week we're thrilled to be chatting the Nicole Callaway. Nicole is a yoga teacher and the Founder of the Bamboo based yoga wear company Bodhi Shala

We loved this conversation. It was so interesting to talk to Nicole, the conversation went to so many places, including how compassion to ourselves in our practice can start with what we wear. We chat natural fibres, business with yogic principles at the core, learning all the new skills to bring your vision to life, wearing all the hats and so so much more!

We hope you'll love this natter and it helps you feel a bit more in community!

Nicole has generously offered you all 15% off the gorgeous Bodhi pieces with the code WELCOME15

Ever found yourself ill and unable to decide whether you should teach your class or not? Yep, same babe!!

This week we talk about that sharp edge that so many of us meet as freelancers, where you have to make the call on whether you're well enough to take class.

How do we navigate teaching what we want to teach vs teaching what we think people want us to teach? There is such an interesting tension between these two things

We talk about meeting (and missing) peoples' expectations, the pressure of knowing that people could be critiquing us in real time and how we continue teach regardless of that.

We also speak about practical steps towards integrating new trainings, interests and techniques into our classes without losing your clients.

Its a juicy episode guys and we hope you'll enjoy it!

In this weeks edgy ep we are once again joined by wonderful Lou Thomas (they/he) of ⁠Body Bits Brighton⁠ and ⁠Gather⁠ !

In this ep we talk about feedback that's taken us too the edge...and maybe even a little OVER the edge!

From our language usage to our chosen niche, it appears its all fair game folks!

Lou is a queer, trans, disabled and neurodivergent yoga teacher, massage therapist, and director of ⁠⁠a non-profit wellbeing venue called Gather⁠⁠. Their work helps people connect with their bodies, themselves and their communities. Their work sits the intersection between well-being and social justice, and centres LGBTQIA+ community building and accessibility. They offer integrative massages and run accessible, therapeutic, and playful yoga classes and workshops around Brighton to help people explore, find centre and feel a little more at home and connected in our bodies and the world.

Right? How many screens are too many?

Do you get a pro mic?

What if everyone has their cameras off?

And, what if someone starts telling you they can't hear you half way through class?

We talk the ins and out of why tech for online teaching is SO edgy and how we feel when someone leaves before savasana!
