Before the course  I felt overwhelmed, like there were too many things to do and I didn´t know where to start.

 I was hoping to get concrete examples and tips on how to start marketing my yoga business. Guidance on what to focus on first. 

Previously I had listened to a lot of podcasts including some of the ones you had been on and also looked at various websites. They were helpful but it was a lot of information and I did not know where to start. 

It felt really overwhelming and I felt unmotivated, like I could never get to doing proper marketing, especially the social media part and how to get new clients. 

I wasn’t sure whether I was really ready to take such a course and also the idea of “marketing for yoga” felt difficult to reconcile. 

Now, I  feel more clear on what are the main things that I can focus on without getting totally overwhelmed.

I feel like you have given us a very structured and clear “to-do” list for marketing our business and I find it easier to take small steps little by little following this list compared to before when I didn´t know where to focus my attention.

I liked your simplified approach to marketing yoga businesses, I felt that you focused on the essential aspects of marketing, the most important ones to get us started and also solidify our business.

I think it was a great course for someone like me who is in the early stages of business building.

I loved that you did not focus everything on social media! I loved that you gave us very concrete examples about the different ways of marketing and I really appreciated that you gave us feedback on our websites. 

I like that you shared your own experience and told us about your mistakes and what you learned from them, that made you seem very down-to-earth and relatable. 

I really liked that we were a small group, which made it also safe to ask “dumb” questions and our insecurities. I would have felt more resistant to it if it had been a much larger group. 

Thank you so much, Nyk, you have really taken the overwhelm out for me 🙂

I found the course very helpful. It’s given me a ton to think about, and work towards putting together so I can get my business off the ground.

I was really looking forward to learning how to make a website and how to create marketing materials.

I would recommend Marketing with Heart to Other Yoga teachers. I already have been. I found it to be an excellent value.

I especially liked the ability to bounce ideas off of you in real time and get feedback on things right away.

I still have a lot to do as a new teacher/ business but I’m feeling better,  I have a much clearer idea of where to go from here.

Before the program, I was not sure where to start or what to prioritise. I felt overwhelmed and not sure what to do.  I was taking in lots of varied information, and not sure what was right for me.

The niching work in the course was really helpful and an exercise that I will do again. So, a great tool to refer back to.

I had come across the course the year before and since that time, knew I wanted to take it. It was something on my radar and the fact it was designed for yoga teachers felt aligned for me. 

Now I have clarity and direction, I have a clearer idea of who I serve and how I serve them. 

Tools and recommendations for tools that are low cost. Got heaps, thank you.

I am just at the very beginning so the tools and recommendations for tools you gave that were free or that are low cost, was helpful thank you.

Yes, so good to have something catering to Yoga teachers specifically and hearing from your direct experience was so valuable.

I liked that it was once a week for the 7 weeks, in order to have time to integrate the lessons. 

Liked realising there are others at the same/similar point as me, it feels isolating.

I like that you talk about non-digital forms of advertising, 

I feel empowered like I have some direction and a plan and some structure to move forward with.

Before the program, I hated marketing because it felt slimy.

Previously, all the marketing I did was through Facebook. I took a couple of REALLY EXPENSIVE courses that talked about niching and promoting only on Facebook advertisements. Long story short I felt like I got recruited into a cult. They sucked my money while teaching me to suck other people’s money. 

I believed in it so much that I forgot why I was doing this in the first place. And of course, those courses didn’t work for me because I felt like what I was doing was immoral. 

I wanted to learn how to promote myself and my offerings without feeling shady about it. I was hoping to learn from someone (like you) who is authentic. 

Who doesn’t care about luxury brand names, trying to be famous or make millions of dollars? Because that’s not what I want.

I want to help people feel good about themselves inside and out.

Reaching out to those people in a non-shady slimy way. 

I would recommend the program to other yoga teachers struggling with their business.

Before the course,  I was absolutely overwhelmed and avoided working on my business marketing due to a lack of confidence. 

I was  really hoping to gather actionable steps to put into motion! And I did!!

Mostly, before the course, I had tried these “burn your bridges” epic workshops…and they felt gross and overwhelming so I didn’t take any action. 

Yes, I’ve taken several online courses. 

I was a little hesitant to sign up because of the time commitment during a busy season of my life but it was a wicked good deal in comparison to booking with you one on one. 

I have actionable steps to take! I know what I need to do.

I also appreciate the fact that you acknowledged the budget and kept things realistic. 

I feel empowered and informed!! I have a tactile to-do list and am thrilled that I can book a private follow-up in the future for accountability  

I would 100% recommend this to other Yoga teachers!! It was my most useful course to date!!

Before, I felt in the lurch about how to market. 

I had taken some other courses but I couldn’t even stay awake through them and they were not about Yoga.

I needed some Yoga-specific help.

I was hoping to learn how to help my physical studio survive & I also wanted a few more private clients.

In the past, I had tried all the usual things, posters, websites, word of mouth, referrals from health professionals, writing for the paper, advertising and more.

But now I feel on track. 

My website looks much better and I have the information I need to go forward.

What  I liked most about the program was the set time and that talked about Yoga. 

I liked the help with the websites and I liked the other people in the class. It was fun and engaging.

Yes, I would definitely recommend this program to other Yoga teachers.

Since the course and Niching I have been blessed with so many more work opportunities and instead of being a general yoga teacher, I feel like I have some direction and a fit. 

I have now become overwhelmed with work, to the point I have to turn it down now (which I hate). It’s been a complete 180 and that’s not even an exaggeration!!

I love my niche now!!  I finally have a home. I’ve found my people. It also allows me time to do what I love.”

I was feeling a bit overwhelmed about social media, thinking that I needed to be doing more on the various platforms but not knowing what and how.

Now I’m much less overwhelmed and more confident since I am already doing things you recommend and you’ve given me new ideas to work on.

Key takeaway: pick one thing that seems easiest or doable, break it down into smaller steps and schedule time each week to work in it.

Solid, actionable content, delivered in an unhurried and encouraging way with lots of time built in for Q & As.

Yes, I would absolutely recommend to other Yoga teachers! Extremely good value. You could charge a lot more for this.
