🧘♀️ I’ve been a yoga educator full-time since 2008. Here’s how.
✨ The longest client relationship I have is 18 years. I must be doing something right. Here’s what I do to keep my clients’ practices vibrant:
🚫 I’ve discarded generic alignment
“Point your toes straight forward.” “Bring your arms to parallel.” These cues are childish and biomechanically unsupported. I help my clients find their center, their strengths, and areas we can work on.
🗣 I focus on their concerns
Private client work is the opposite of teaching a class. When I teach a group of people, I come in with an intention and find a way to make it accessible to everybody. When working with clients, I ask what they need, both in a lifelong learning sense and in the moment.
📅 We develop a core practice together, and spotlight various daily objectives
Everybody has two or three reasons why they’re drawn to the practice. My clients and I focus on those long-term objectives, while being pliable about how they are feeling any given day.
🔁 They know I’m showing up
I confirm our next appointment at the end of every session, and I send a reminder to them the day before. This helps both them and me plan our schedules together, so there’s zero miscommunication.
🤔 I have no problem saying “I don’t know”
Many clients come to me with medical restrictions and questions about anatomy or biomechanics. I’ve experienced quite a bit in my career, but don’t hesitate to say “I’ll have to look up the best practices” for a particular situation. Everybody is still learning, including me.
🧩 My 300-hour training starts in February
Frameworks 300 dives deep into the skills needed to build, retain, and empower private clients, blending personalized sequencing, client assessment, and business strategy. Transform lives and your teaching career. Link in bio.
