The Power Of Subtle Yoga w/ Kristine Kaoverii Weber
Sometimes you get to meet people whom you admire, and they surprise you by being as cool as you hoped they were.
That has always been the case with Kristine Kaoverii Weber.
Kristine and I met last year at a yoga event and I am not kidding when I say she took the house down with some of her comments on a panel discussion.
She is just as insightful here on this podcast as she discusses her history as a yoga pro, how she shifted online before most of the rest of us, and how self-care in a non-negotiable for her.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
*Please for the love of all that is holy, make your marketing about the people you are talking to. People want to hear your stories, yes, but they really want you to connect with them and speak to their lives and needs. It truly isn't all about you, and for most of us, it makes us uncomfortable when we market that way.
*There is a weird and uncomfortable part of yoga teaching, where you are in the middle of learning to be excellent. And it is uncomfortable, tough, repetitive, and makes you feel like a fraud. But this is part of the up-level of your skills, so let me encourage you to stop fighting the discomfort and settle into it.
*Get on video over and over again. It will become easier.
*Our own self-care is something that is non-negotiable, and it has so much less to do with time and much more to do with your priorities.
*As a gentle reminder, your teaching is not your practice. You need to prioritize yourself and your practice as a yoga teacher. This is not to shame, but to encourage you to rethink and re prioritize yourself as an equal to others--including your students.
