Are you sending a newsletter to your clients and c

Are you sending a newsletter to your clients and colleagues? Your newsletter “list” is the most intimate group in your business because they WANT to hear from you. My friends at @Offeringtree shared a blog recently with quick tips for sending great newsletters and emails. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Also, a super fun fact: “According to this 2018 email marketing report from Litmus, the average time a recipient spent reading an email was 13.4 seconds – an increase from 11.1 seconds when the same research was done in 2016. So, the good news is that it seems that our attention spans are actually increasing but 13 seconds still isn’t a lot of time! With this in mind, there are three elements that will maximize the time you have the reader’s attention:”⁠⁠

Happy National Independence Day! I’m celebrating

Happy National Independence Day! I’m celebrating Juneteenth today by taking note of how much work we still have to do! (And donating to Color of Change’s important work.)

If you didn’t know: Juneteenth marks the day when news of the Emancipation Proclamation reached enslaved Black Americans in Texas. Later, the 13th Amendment officially ended slavery, but with a critical (and intentional) loophole: “except as a punishment for crime.”

And 150 years later, prison labor is a multi-billion dollar industry. And too many Black people — who are over-surveilled, over-policed, and over-incarcerated — are forced into this rebranded system of slavery every day.

@ColorOfChange is fighting to win justice for Black people, and that includes ending prison labor and abolishing slavery for good. You can donate to this important cause at the link in my bio.

PEEP THIS: A 75 minute private lesson condensed do

PEEP THIS: A 75 minute private lesson condensed down to 25 seconds!

Okay, here’s the pitch. I believe it is important to be able to teach asana without demonstrating and I want to help you feel more comfortable and confident when teaching that way.

Do I think demonstrating a shape or movement is always bad? Of course not!

Are there sometimes totally valid reasons to use your own body to clarify a movement concept? Sure!

Here are a few reasons I think having the ability to teach without demonstrating is important:
👉🏻Our students benefit from our attention more than they do from our demonstrations (much of the time).
👉🏻Teaching our students how to connect language to their physical experience can help them be more embodied.
👉🏻Teaching with verbal cues moves the focus away from the aesthetics of a shape and towards the interoceptive experience of the practice.
👉🏻Relying on our bodies to share information about movement can be physically exhausting for us and difficult when we are injured or otherwise physically limited. (If you haven’t heard this story, I’m happy to tell you more, but I spent the first two years I was a full time yoga teacher walking with a cane and teaching from a chair. My teaching wasn’t limited at all though.)

So, after YEARS of y’all asking for it, I’m going to teach an online workshop all about Teaching Without Demonstrating on July 19th at 12pm Eastern!

In this workshop we’ll cover:
👉🏻Some of the reasons, both conscious and unconscious, that teachers prefer to demonstrate when they teach asana.
👉🏻Tools and practices to help you use your voice more often in your yoga teaching and your body less.
👉🏻And you’ll get to practice teaching each other!

I’ll be teaching this workshop inside my new community, The Mentor Sessions Sangha!

The monthly investment to join the community is a fantastic value at $40 per month, but for the rest of this weekend you can join for only $25 a month! The price goes up on Sunday, so I’d love to have you join us before then! You can sign up at the link in my bio (CLICK ON The Mentor Sessions Sangha!)
