This week on the podcast we are talking about values and why they are important in our yoga businesses. We discuss what values are, how they relate to our "why" as yoga teachers, and why it is so important to have clear values. We also work through an exercise where we outline our top 5 core values so at the end of this episode, you will not only be clear on why having values that you stick to is important for your business, but you will also be clear on what yours are.  Enjoy!

In this episode:

  • Value is defined as: A person's principles or standards of behavior; one's judgment of what is important in life.
  • The key to heart-centered business is to have values in your life and business that you stick to no matter what! 
  • Determine your core values 
  • Before we can do that, we have to understand our “why” as a yoga teacher 
    • Why did you start practicing yoga? 
    • Why did you decide to take teacher training? 
    • What is your reason for teaching yoga? 
    • Why do you show up for classes and for your students?
    • What gets you up in the morning to do the work that you do?
  • When you are clear on your why and you understand why is that you do what you do, you can dive into your core values
  • Start by writing down all of the words that come to mind for you when you think about what you value
  • Once you’ve got a long list of values, start to group them together and put like values with like values - create 5 groups of values at the maximum
  • Once you’ve got your groups of values look at the list and decide which word stands out most to you. This will help you identify your top 5 values. These are your core values.
  • Core values will help guide you when it comes to deciding how to run your business, big decisions, setting prices, who to work with, whether or not you want to say yes to a new partnership 
  • You should pass each business decision through your heart space and also make sure that they align with your values

This week on the podcast I am joined by my dear friend Chelsey Breta Orth. Breta and I met in our first yoga teacher training program in Bali back in 2015 and she was one of my very first podcast guests. Since then I have watched her discover her niche and create a business that she loves called Moon Rise Ritual. In this episode, Breta shares her journey of teaching at yoga studios, stepping back to work on her own practices, discovering her passion for moon cycles and syncing to the rhythms of nature and our bodies, and how this has led her to develop a business that helps others connect to their own rhythms and moon cycles, as well as all the business lessons she's learned along the way. 

Enjoy!
