Create your ideal life as a kids yoga teacher

Happy June! Do you prefer to watch or listen? Check out the video here

For me last week was half term and it got me thinking about how hard it can be to take a break sometimes.

Maybe you teach in multiple places where the term times are different, perhaps you also have evening classes that don’t stop in the holidays or maybe you run holiday clubs during this time. As a yoga teacher, it can be hard to take breaks and holidays. It can be tempting to think- ‘that class is only an hour or 90 minutes so I can still do that in the holiday.’

I believe that it is really important to block in times where you aren’t working at all, not even for the odd hour class, because we all know that it isn’t really just an hour, there’s the planning, set up and travel time and then decompressing afterwards.
Here’s some tips to help manage work life balance as a yoga teacher and create your ideal life.

Get clear on what you want your life to look like. Download the freebie ‘Create an Ideal Life’  to help you get clear on what you would like your life to be like. I highly recommend the book The Desire Map by Danielle LaPorte if you want to dive deeper here.
It can be easy to get caught up in comparing our lives and businesses to those around us. We can start to travel down a road that was never truly our road to begin with. Being really clear on your ideal life can be a really great way of ensuring that your work life ‘fit’s your home life, and if it doesn’t, it gives you a clear direction of what needs to change.

Create times in your day that are just for you, even if it is 5 minutes in the car between classes, what can you do to really enjoy that time. Listen to a meditation, read a book, message a friend, eat something delicious and really enjoy it. These micro- moments are a great way to fill our cup, even in a busy day.

Take proper time off! This sounds obvious, but it isn’t always easy. Taking time off completely from our business is really important, but sometimes difficult. No email, no quick planning moments, no sorting of props. Complete time off. If this is something that you already do then great! But if you, like me, find this hard- then you probably need it even more!

Do you take proper time off where you aren’t working at all? Are you struggling to get the balance right? Why not book in an hour with me and I can help you to find some solutions.

On June 22nd I’ll be increasing my mentoring prices to better reflect the value that these offerings bring.

If you’d like to lock in the cheaper price while it’s still available get in touch.
