What you’ll get out of tuning in:

• Why you should do free webinars.
• How you should do free webinars.
• What works and what doesn’t work.

Links Mentioned in Episode:

• Awake Living
• Yoga Health Coaching
• How to Build a Tribe webinar

 Show Highlights:

• 2:45 – While there are good online courses that teach you how to do a webinar, it’s important that you do it in your own way, in a way that is meaningful to you. At Yogahealer, we do free webinars in order to get people ready to be really good members of our training programs.
• 4:30 – Wellness pros need community membership in order to work at a deeper level of commitment and bring members to the end results you’re promising. Webinars are one tool you can use to establish membership and to get your members excited and prepared.
• 6:30 – An easy way to get started is simply to talk about the things you enjoy talking about, things that are meaningful to you and can be of service to others.
• 7:40 – In opposition to the formulaic approach to webinars, Yogahealer is actively working towards making the course member enrollment process transparent, including price points commitments, and ground rules. We don’t rush people into enrollment. There’s a pre-qualification process. Everything that happens before someone becomes a course member accurately portrays the experience of being a course member. The benefit of that is that course members know how to show up and are able to get to end results in a shorter period of time.
• 11:45 – While a lot of people use webinars as a sales tool, Yogahealer uses webinars as a way to educate people about what it’s going to take to get their needs met. Our webinars are full of content so that people can start to see where there getting in their own way and start to establish a strategy to overcome their obstacles.
• 15:00 – A lot of us get to a point where we realize we’ve outgrown our peer group. When we do, we need to start looking for that next level of peer group or community.
• 18:45 – For wellness pros, the business model is community membership, and webinars are a way to provide and build that next level community or peer group. People want to belong the most potent, transformational community they can, and we need to understand where the webinar fits into that. We need to serve the people who are just starting to get a sense of what’s out there, people who are seeking other people on the same path who are at the same level of commitment. We need to create a system for people to become members and then for members to evolve together, and the webinar is one tool we can use to do that.

Guest BIO:

Grace Edison lives in British Columbia, Canada. She’s a mom of twin 8 year olds, a Yoga teacher, studio owner, and Yoga Health Coach — and she also works for Cate Stillman in Admissions at Yogahealer! More than anything, she loves to make people laugh and has a not-so-secret dream of doing stand-up comedy. Grace has a strong passion for empowering others to take their health and wellness into their own hands. She loves building authentic relationships, making people laugh, and creating supportive communities. After a long-standing relationship with severe depression, Grace has found deep relief through the habits of Ayurveda — and much credit is due to Cate and her Body Thrive program. After taking Body Thrive several times and jumping into Yoga Health Coaching, Grace came aboard the Yogahealer team.

Before Alec began YHC, he was working as a professional chef and noticed his interpersonal relationships and intrapersonal connections fading away. He stepped deeper into his yoga practice and found Yogahealer through the podcast. After listening to the podcast for a couple of years, he decided to join YHC.

When transitioning from the job that he was trained for into yoga health coaching, Alec, like many YHC members, encountered fear and self doubt. He still works through some of that on a daily basis. Through his keystone habits, Start the Day Right and Sitting in Silence, Alec practices being present with himself so that he can grow into this new role and allow space for intuitive guidance.

As one of the few men in YHC, Alec sees the cultivation and balance of feminine and masculine qualities, or yin and yang, as the key to bringing more harmony into our culture. Alec cites Gay Hendricks’s book The Big Leap as one of the biggest influences on his ability to shift his identity and live a life more in alignment with his values.

What you’ll get out of tuning in:

• How Yoga Health Coaching can allow you to live a life more in alignment with your values.
• How Yoga Health Coaching provides opportunities for personal growth as well as support for working through growing edges.
• Why your gender is irrelevant to your ability to coach the habits of Body Thrive.

Links Mentioned in Episode:

• Yoga Health Coaching
• Body Thrive
• Alec’s Free Guided Meditation
• The Big Leap

Show Highlights:

• 4:00 – Alec took his time getting his pilot program off the ground. He wanted to explore his own relationship with the 10 habits of Body Thrive so that he could embody the habits and teach them from an deep, authentic place. Alec’s keystone habits are start the day right and sitting in silence, both of which have helped him cultivate deep presence within himself.
• 5:45 – Fear and self doubt were the two biggest obstacles Alec had to overcome in order to teach his pilot. Alec credits his keystone habit, sitting in silence, with his ability to be fully present and grow into this new role while allowing space for intuitive guidance. Reading Gay Hendricks’s book The Big Leap influenced his ability to shift his identity and live a life more in alignment with his values.
• 8:50 – Alec is one of the few men in YHC. He was introduced to the “feminine” practice of deep listening at a young age, and so was able to recognize that practice as a key component of coaching women. He sees the cultivation and balance of both feminine and masculine qualities, or yin and yang, as the key to bringing more harmony into our culture.
• 12:30 – Free talks have been a growing edge for Alec, as they are for many yoga health coaches. He uses them to explore his voice and share his understanding of the topics. He pushes himself even further out of his comfort zone by live streaming his free talks.
• 16:11 – What surprised Alec most about YHC is how open and collaborative the community is. Members are willing to share what is working and what is not working and help each other navigate their growing edges.
• 18:22 – Alec renamed his program after an insight about the art of connection. His unique approach to teaching the habits supports both physical and spiritual evolution and comes from his deeper connection to his higher self.

Favorite Quotes:

• “Sometimes we can shift our identity, but those close to us are a little behind. . . . They’re used to that person who fit into the box that we created for ourselves or that they created for us.” — Grace Edison
• “I think it’s very powerful. I mean, there needs to be a balance of this masculinity as well as this femininity of being able to just listen and receive deeply what the other person has that they need to express. In my short experience so far as a coach, that’s been the most powerful lesson.” — Alec Hurley
• “Culturally, there’s so much . . . there’s a lot of stuff that’s out of balance. And it takes cultivation of both of these qualities, the yin and the yang, the masculine and the feminine. It takes cultivation and an understanding and a balance of both of those qualities to bring more harmony to our culture.” — Alec Hurley
• “This is the missing link in the law of attraction: getting the food body, the physical body, in alignment with the earth rhythms so that the negative inner dialogue starts to be reduced and the desires are more easily heard.” — Grace Edison

Natasha has always been interested in health and wellness and often used herself as a guinea pig for different modalities. After completing her 200 RYT yoga teacher training, she started researching health coaching programs. She found YHC and chose to study with Cate because of the community support and the business training, aspects that were missing from the other programs she had investigated.

Prior to YHC, Natasha was working a “dead end” job that she did not find fulfilling. Getting laid off allowed her to pursue her passions: yoga and health. She now makes her own schedule, and she feels like she’s growing every day. Helping her clients and seeing her business grow while continuing to learn more in YHC is a rewarding experience that brings her happiness on a daily basis.

• 8:00 – The community aspect of YHC provides multiple levels of support that sets YHC apart from most other online, web-based, “distance” programs.
• 12:00 – While YHC is structured, there is enough flexibility within the structure that if you “fall behind,” it’s not an issue.
• 14:10 – Often, YHC allows people to transition out of unfilling jobs into meaningful, dynamic careers.
• 19:00 – In YHC, you get to uplevel your own health in a sustainable way. Each time you go through Body Thrive and each time you teach the habits to your clients and go through it with them, you experience another evolution of you.
• 23:00 – Body Thrive and YHC change the way you show up in relationships. Your capacity for communication improves, and when you live the habits, you lead by example and people begin to see you as an authority.

• “You think you reach a peak or an edge, and then you look over the edge and there’s even more.” — Natasha Gayl

So tune in to hear what I have gained, the lessons I’ve learned, and some of my reflections from the past couple of years.

• 8:00 – While we may not find a local community that supports us in our growth path, by having an online community in Yogahealer, we can connect with people who are directly aligned with our goals, intentions, and purpose.
• 9:00 – Our problems are not unique. There is usually someone out there who is going through or has gone through a similar experience, and we can help each other get through it.
• 10:00 – Forgiveness is a powerful tool, especially when we can direct it toward ourselves. Through a lens of forgiveness, instead of viewing things as mistakes, we can look at them as opportunities to grow and change.
• 12:40 – FAIL = First Attempts In Learning. The difference between failure and success is that we keep going and don’t quit. Failure is not finite, but rather an opportunity to learn something and continue in personal and professional evolution.
• 13:30 – The YHC community is completely based in helping each other and seeing each other’s potential. By having this community to go back to and receive help digesting our failures, we can take risks in a way that is completely supported.

We’re talking about deep listening today. I actually just re-wrote the Yoga Health Coaching guide, and the deep listening section is big. It’s a skill, and you can’t making deeper change without it.
