Abundant Yoga Teacher Podcast

I’m a zealot for more space and time to enjoy life. If I’m not working with my clients or teaching my students, I’d prefer to be almost anywhere than my office and computer. If you’re craving to claw back time from your wellness business, I hereby give you permission to stop doing these four things. Right. Now.

This week I’m onboarding two new clients. As a part of that process they have completed a comprehensive survey which poses questions about business, challenges, goals, visions and support. This week I’m sharing part of that survey because I suspect there will be insights for you and your business, too.

This week we’re journeying back into the forest to learn more about ourselves, our tendencies and our longings with some Yoga mythology. Perhaps the ultimate problem-solver, this guy shows us how to get sh!t done… all while healing some rather significant intergenerational trauma!

This week I’m joined by Taylor Lorenz oftaylorstracks.com and @taylorstracks. Taylor is the creator of the yoga & travel site, Taylor's Tracks, a former full-time travel writer turned yoga teacher, mentor & trainer after taking her first YTT that sparked her self acceptance journey. We talk about ways to feel more confident, which limiting beliefs can keep us stuck in our teaching journeys and how accepting our bodies and modelling self-love is an essential part of being an inspiring Yoga teacher.

Vānaprastha is the third stage of life, acting as a bridge between the householder stage and the stage of renunciation. This period involves stepping back from everyday life, usually in a forest setting, to focus on spiritual reflection and readiness for the final stage of life. In this 5-part series, I’m sharing stories from Yoga that are set in the forest, where things can be shadowy and unclear, more mystical and nuanced. Part one is a story of ensuring you’re focussing your attention on the things that really matter, and not spending your time agonising over things you simply can’t change. Enjoy!
