Jesus Coffee Yoga

As we wrap up our first season of the Jesus Coffee Yoga podcast we wanted to take a moment to share some candid reflections, challenges, & gratitude!  We’ll discuss things like what surprised us, what episodes or themes had more listens or feedback than others (and what that suggest about what you'd like to hear more of), what challenges or hurdles we faced, what we’re grateful for, and we also dropped some helpful nuggets about life and business.  We are so thankful you joined us for this first season, and we look forward to what’s to come!  Make sure to connect with us on social media!  YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@JesusCoffeeYoga] | Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/groups/cdyteachercommunity] | Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/stories/christians.do.yoga/] | Christians Do Yoga [https://christiansdoyoga.com] Stay salty and shine bright, Kristen   ================== If you know another Christian yoga teacher who could use some help and encouragement in their teacher practice, would you please share our podcast with them?  Listen on your favorite podcast platform: ▶︎ Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jesus-coffee-yoga/id1720578028] ▶︎ Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/3FEwexSDnjC8cdvEokptdf] ▶︎ Amazon [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/973f7f12-23bb-4037-87a4-3023879dcbae] ▶︎ Pandora [https://www.pandora.com/podcast/jesus-coffee-yoga/PC:1001082249]

▶︎▶︎ Join us this fall in Oklahoma at our first teacher retreat: https://christiansdoyoga.com/retreat [https://christiansdoyoga.com/retreat]  If you’re a yoga teacher or fitness instructor, you might be finding yourself in a season where you’re feeling a little stuck, lost, lacking confidence, or burnt out.  Or maybe you’re in a season where things are going great! Maybe you’re somewhere in between.  Whether you’ve been teaching for years or you’re just getting started, this episode is packed full of lessons that can help you on your yoga teacher journey!  In this episode we get to sit down with Sally McAteer (better known as Sally’s Mat) and talk about lessons she’s learned over the years as a Christian yoga teacher.  We touch on things like: * The intersection of ministry, business, and yoga * How to set yourself up for success * How to get started if you’re new * Challenges and obstacles we all face in our teaching journey * Authenticity in teaching and embracing your unique calling and gifts * Developing an entrepreneurial mindset * Obedience and following the Lord’s leading (and course correcting when we get off track) * Pivoting * Practical tips to make your classes better and keep your students coming back for more …just to name a few!  So grab a cup of coffee, pull up a chair, and let's chat. ================== If you know another Christian yoga teacher who could use some help and encouragement in their teacher practice, would you please share our podcast with them?  We’d love to reach more people and sharing it with your teacher friends would mean the world to us!

►► TIME SENSITIVE: We’re launching a retreat (in November 2024) JUST for teachers to help give you clarity on what you want, and develop a plan to get there. Space is very limited, so don’t put off signing up if you’re feeling led to join us! Click here for more info [https://www.mychristiansdoyoga.com/offers/Z32MdrzT]. Are you feeling stuck in life or business as a yoga or fitness instructor and wondering if it’s time for a change?  Like what you’re doing just isn’t working anymore? In today’s episode we are talking about pivoting.  We’ll discuss how to recognize when it’s time for a pivot and what steps to take to realign with your purpose.   We know all too well the fear and uncertainty that often goes along with making changes in your life or business.  We’ve been through this multiple times (both individually and together as business partners) and have walked through it with coaching clients.  Nick and I share a lot of our own real-life experiences and give you a framework to walk through as you process your next moves.  Friend, I’ve been in this very place myself many times throughout my yoga teaching journey (and I’m currently going through another pivot in real time, which is what prompted this episode…which was a pivot as well, because we were originally going to talk about something else!), and I get how scary it can be. Whether or not you’re currently facing a pivot yourself, our prayer is that this episode equips and empowers you to make a decision and helps you fast forward through some of the process (and avoid some mistakes).  So grab a cup of coffee or other tasty beverage, pull up a chair, and let's chat about pivoting. TIMESTAMPS: 03:54 Pivoting is a normal part of business 05:35 Why is pivoting so hard? 25:50 1. Seek God 29:25 2. Seek wise counsel 36:00 3. Assess where you're at 44:29 4. Talk to your team 54:23 5. Talk to your students (maybe) 1:01:22 6. How to communicate the changes 1:12:15 7. Trust the process 1:15:43 What's no longer working? 1:20:33 What part of ME is the problem? 1:35:57 Are there smaller tweaks I could make? 1:39:28 Closing thoughts   ================== If you know another Christian yoga teacher who could use some help and encouragement in their teacher practice, would you please share our podcast with them?  We’d love to reach more people and sharing it with your teacher friends would mean the world to us!

If you’ve been alive for more than 5 minutes, chances are good you’ve experienced grief.  Chances are also good that if you haven’t already, you’ll go through seasons of loss and grief as a leader in the yoga or fitness industry.  In this episode we are going to talk about being in the valley of grief and how we can continue to lead through it and find healing. I hope these words find you exactly where they need to. I prayed before this episode, “God, whoever needs to hear these words, would you just give it to them?! Because they've been in my head, in my notes, and all the things for the last couple of months.”  We’re going to discuss 4 things you can do to help you grieve and heal.   So if that’s you, I hope this helps you feel less alone during this challenging season and gives you a spark of hope.  Grab a cup of coffee (or other tasty beverage), pull up a chair, and allow God to use this episode to shine a light in the middle of your darkness.  RESOURCES ▶︎ Here’s the magnesium supplement I mentioned [https://amzn.to/4dZFd9C] ▶︎ If you’re finding that you need some help taking better care of yourself, grab a copy of my Daily Soul Care checklist [https://www.mychristiansdoyoga.com/daily-soul-care-checklist] here.

Do you have a mentor?  I do, and I’m so thankful for the impacts they've made in my life and business. In this episode we're going to talk about what it looks like when we feel ourselves needing a change and how to get the right people/voices in our lives to help us make those changes. I’m so excited to share today’s episode with you where I speak to one of my GREATEST mentors, Sarah Hall. Everything you see and everything I do today has her fingerprints all over it because she has literally held my hand for all of my baby steps along the way. Sarah has been a yoga instructor for 19+ years, and was offering Christ-focused yoga before it was popular. She is also a licensed therapist, a mom of four, a wife, and a devoted follower of Jesus. My prayer is that you will be encouraged to find a great mentor for yourself and experience the same confidence and growth in your life and business!  RESOURCES: ▶︎ Next Steps group mentoring program [https://christiansdoyoga.com/nextsteps]   CONNECT WITH SARAH ▶︎ Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/sarah.gardner.94] ▶︎ Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/sarahdawn.hall/]   ================== If you know another Christian yoga teacher who could use some help and encouragement in their teacher practice, would you please share our podcast with them?  We’d love to reach more people and sharing it with your teacher friends would mean the world to us!
