In today's Yoga Health Coaching
episode, Annie Barrett and I sit down to talk about what happens as
you develop as a Yoga Health Coach. It starts with the initial
phase of getting through your pilot program and certification. Then
business evolution happens as you set up systems to leverage the
certification as a new income stream and business model in your
career. And finally, there is what is actually possible once you
follow through with your new business model.
For Annie, this last phase is
happening in real time, and as it happens, it brings up a lot of
identity evolution, risk-taking, and finding unstable ground, but
also low-leverage vs. high-leverage activities and how it all
aligns to dharma.
Join us as Annie walks us
through her Yoga Health Coaching Certification path and how it has
helped her discover her potential and live her dharma.
What you’ll get out of tuning in:
- How
to uplevel your business to pursue your higher dharma
- How
most people compartmentalize their lives, and why you should
integrate yours for higher Thrive
- Why
the Community Coaching model is the future of Ayurveda

Show Highlights:
- 3:20
- You can't just meditate your way to good business! You have to
actually build a skill set to take the necessary steps toward
running a business.
- 6:20
- Developing your own signature system is key for creating a
business model. In order to attract clients, you have to build your
own strategic brand based on your passion.
- 12:10
- As you grow and change your wellness career, you may meet
resistance even from previous clients who want the same services
you've always had. But by leaning into your own dharma, you will be
able to make a bigger impact on an even bigger scale.
- 16:00
- Most people are living segmented lives, where they
compartmentalize their spiritual practice from their career, from
their relationships, from contributions to their community, etc.
This segmentation clogs the flow of prana, and creates excess ama!
By becoming more integrated, you can rid yourself of ama and create
a more vibrant life.

- Through a Community Coaching model, we can connect people to
their ecosystem, their coaches, their peers, and themselves. By
collaborating, we can create so much more than we ever could
alone.
