Show Highlights:
- 2:30 – Many Yoga Health Coaches who were previous yoga teachers find that their dharma is interacting with and coaching their students, rather than teaching them in a yoga class. By shifting to more coaching and less yoga teaching, their income streams also shift to reflect their business integrity.
- 10:40 – While there are many physical signs of healing after teaching these courses, like weight loss, skin clearing, and better sleep, perhaps the most important result is getting clients to love themselves, be at peace with themselves, and find their inner light.
- 12:00 – You can’t have self-acceptance if you don’t have body integrity. This is why habit evolution and identity evolution can go hand-in-hand: without one, you cannot have the other.
- 19:00 – Meditation can help you improve your sense of fulfillment, your relationships, and the integrity of your business by building faith and trust in the universe and what will unfold.
- 25:15 – Take responsibility for building and nurturing your audience. By doing this, you will make course onboarding much more easeful for your clients and yourself.
- 29:30 – Allow your career evolution to be a reflection of your identity evolution, and everything will fall into place.
