SOCIAL MEDIA: A YOGA TEACHER
Oh yeah! There is a wonderful tool and are some very simple
ways that you can expand your outreach through social media. One thing to note
we didn't all grow up as meditators and yoga teachers and some of us have past
history I've had Facebook since 2016. I got Facebook when I was in school and I
was not posting quotes on the topic of lifestyle. When I was in college I was
posting pictures of myself with my friends and believe it or not if you scroll
down enough or you look through those archives or photos not anymore but there
was a time where I can you can find a lot of those old pictures, now of course
there's something to be said about embracing the journey that has brought us to
where we are.

You may want to delete some old pictures just saying if you're not willing to do that it's really important to have maybe your personal Facebook page and then also start a business page. You can set a business page for free and you can use your own name you could even use yoga, right?
If I were doing yoga that's on a yoga page and when it comes to the business of any sort and exposing and expressing yourself through social media whether it's Facebook or Instagram or Twitter. All I can say is you know I've built a huge following for myself on Facebook without actually trying to, it might sound strange but I want to share this because it's important.
I was really just tuning into inspired me like whether it was a quote, whether it was something that happened in my own life and sharing authentically from my heart. When you share authentically people feel that you know when you share authentically what inspires you whether it's a quote, whether it's a picture or whatever it is.
The people who resonate with that are going to start following you that's why I like you know there's thousands and thousands of yoga teachers in the world what makes certain people attracted to certain teachers it's because it's like your Facebook account or your Instagram account. It's a representation of what is meaningful and conspiring to you and that has the capacity to inspire others as well.
So all I can say is don't try to do what you think other people want you to do and try not to do what everyone else is doing it might sound strange because they will where's my frame of reference, your frame of reference is inside. I used to always post my yoga schedule for the week on Facebook thinking that for some reason that was going to give me some like extra boost of yeah like everyone's going to start flocking to my classes and I noticed that I was pushed this is for me.
I was posting my schedule because it kind of fed my ego like look how many classes I'm teaching this week whereas these days I don't even teach that many public classes and I don't know how much value I was adding to people's lives by simply listing my schedule or posting a picture of myself doing a handstand. I still post pictures of myself doing yoga postures and hands dance it's great but if you think about it quantitatively if at least 80 percent of the information that you're giving people has value and can support people on their journey then great the last 20% to be fun selfies.
