Burnout, Boundaries & The Importance of Rest in Your Yoga Business

Mastering the Business of Yoga

This week on the podcast we are talking about burnout, boundaries, and the importance of rest in your yoga business. Burnout often happens when we aren't setting boundaries and aren't making time for rest, so in this episode, we talk about how to identify burnout and how to elevate it by setting boundaries, making time for daily self-care practices and adding in more rest to our days. I share some of my favorite ways to get more rest in each day and how resting more and making more time for rest has benefited me personally and in my business.

Enjoy!

In this episode:

• Why hustle culture and mentality isn’t working for me
• Checking in with ourselves and our business and identifying what’s working and what isn’t before we hit burnout
• Acknowledging when we’ve hit burnout and making changes
• Setting boundaries in our businesses that allow us to take time for ourselves
• Self-care vs. rest
• Definition of rest: cease work or movement in order to relax, refresh oneself, or recover strength
• Why rest is important for ourselves and our businesses and ways that we can add in moments of rest to our days
• What truly resting is - ie. disconnecting from screens, social media and truly giving ourselves time to rejuvenating physically, mentally and emotionally
• How I add a few minutes of rest to my days

As yoga teachers and business owners, we are often juggling a million things at once so productivity and efficiency are super important! That’s why I am very excited to be partnering with MagicMind.

MagicMind is a productivity drink that is made of all-natural ingredients and has adaptogens to help decrease stress, nootropics that boost blood flow, and Matcha to help keep you focused.

I am super sensitive to caffeine, which means that I can’t pound coffee all day to stay energized and productive and that’s one of the reasons that I love MagicMind. There is minimal caffeine so you can get energized without getting the caffeine jitters and then the caffeine crash.

Whether you are someone that needs a boost of productivity in the mornings or the afternoons, MagicMind is the perfect drink! I love to use MagicMind for a quick pick-me-up during the afternoon lag and I love to make it as a Matcha Latte! It’s healthy, it tastes great, and it helps me get into my flow state.

If you’d like to experience the benefits of increased productivity and mental energy, you can get MagicMind at www.magicmind.co/yoga and use code yoga20 for 20% off.
