Show Highlights:

• 3:15 – While many wellness coaches have experimented with different program structures, Yoga Health Coaching provides the structure that seems to work the best for most coaches and their clients.
• 4:45 – To be a more effective yoga teacher, limit the amount of time you have with your back to your students by inviting them to watch you if you need to demonstrate something. When your students are practicing poses, make sure you have your eyes on them to make sure they are practicing safely.
• 5:50 – As a yoga teacher, connecting with your students is one of the most important aspects of the practice, so it is essential to create an environment of calm, peace, and ease.
• 6:10 – Showing up to the mat having already done your practice will help you be present in your body and present for your students.
• 12:00 – Practicing the habits of Ayurveda are a way to practice self-love, no matter where we are on our journey.

Hi everybody! It is Wednesday today, and it’s snowing in Terrace, British Columbia, Canada, and it’s beautiful. I’m here with Cate Stillman, and today we’re going to be talking about what breaking through income barriers feels like. In other words, when you step into your next level of income, stuff happens. I’m so excited to talk about this because I’ve been going through it personally, and I can’t wait to hear what Cate has to say about it!

What you’ll get out of tuning in:

• What it feels like to break your income barriers
  
• How to create attunement with marketing
• How to own it to get to your next step

Show Highlights:

• 7:15 – Getting from one income level to the next takes a mindset shift, strategy, right relationships, skills, and resources.
• 9:00 – Marketing is more than simple attraction: it is attunement. When you create attunement through your marketing, acculturation happens. This momentum allows clients to get on board more quickly and with less resistance.
• 13:10 – In the wellness world, some people use quick fixes to make big money, while others are just trying to make a living. For the rest of us, this work is about solving big issues in our world. This is why we are the future changemakers.
• 17:30 – It never feels like you’ve arrived: you have more skills, you’ve built relationships that sustain bigger dreams, you have more resources, you can make more impact. Rather than feeling like you’ve arrived, you feel like the goal just got bigger.
• 24:00 – Own it! Own your importance, your value, the help you provide to others. When you do this, you will become more accessible and trustworthy, and people will be able and willing to invest in your work.
