In today’s episode, we’re looking six important things to check when you start working at a yoga studio:

✅ What is the policy if someone comes to your class with an injury

✅ What is the policy if someone comes to your class when pregnant

✅ The invoicing and payment terms

✅ How to get cover for your classes

✅ How to get consent for physical adjustments

✅ What’s the policy on promoting your own yoga offerings?

At the risk of stating the obvious, this doesn’t include things like checking when your classes are, if there’s a notice period etc etc. Those things are for a contract, which is a legal document and not really fit for a podcast.

However, I do believe that the six things on this list are really important to check to help you in your quest for stress free teaching, and they are often overlooked.

Oh and guess what, you lucky thing, we’ve created a free checklist so you don’t have to keep all of this in your head! You’re welcome! Get yours here.

Being a yoga teacher is a funny thing. It is rewarding beyond words, no doubt about that. But it can be lonely.

Yes, you spend a lot of time with people. These people are your yoga students, your customers, your yogis.

But we don’t have colleagues, not really. We don’t have a line manager for advice and guidance, or a HR department.

But we are people, we are workers, we are small business owners and sometimes we just need some advice, some guidance, or someone to bounce ideas off!

So, introducing: daft questions.

Ask us what you would ask your line manager, your HR department or your best work buddy if you had one. Ask us the things you wished you’d asked in your teacher training, or that you’d ask your coach if you could afford one on an ongoing basis.

There’s two golden rules for each and every question:

- it’ll be answered to the best of our ability

- there’s never any judgement

So simply make a note or your qs when they come to mind and join us on Instagram on the first Wednesday morning of each month to ask your daft questions

Oh and just a heads up - there’s really no such thing as a daft question.

See you Wednesday 5th Feb!

If you’ve ever wondered whether emotions affect your fascial matrix, or whether tension in the matrix can affect your emotions… then this is the episode for you!


This is a thought-provoking look at fascia through the lens of just being a human; briefly looking at theories behind the mechanisms of emotional release, stress, stuck emotions and more.

Accompanying this episode is a free journal prompt sheet, to help you understand your thoughts, your personal experiences and views around the relationship between fascia and emotions, you can get yours here.
