The Connected Yoga Teacher Podcast 287: Insurance for International Yoga with Beth McVeigh & Joe Fagan   Description: Many yoga teachers have been curious about insurance for yoga teachers teaching abroad and teaching online to international students - particularly in light of the COVID pandemic. What kind of coverage do you need? Do you need people to sign a waiver? What happens if you can't control who watches your videos? Beth McVeigh and Joe Fagan have the answers to these questions and more.   Beth is a Commercial Insurance Manager specializing in insurance for Complementary Health practitioners and Studio, Clinic and Spa owners based in Canada. Along with her experienced and knowledgeable team of insurance advisors, Beth helps clients navigate the insurance coverage they need for their practice. Joe Fagan is the Director of Strategic Partnerships for Beyogi. He helps to create relationships within the yoga community to generate exposure for all involved. Joe is a US-based insurance provider for yoga teachers.   Beth and Joe share more about what kind of insurance yoga teachers need when teaching online to international students, sharing yoga on shared platforms, or if they are traveling to teach in-person and abroad. They also explain the legal considerations yoga teachers should be mindful of when it comes to waivers and COVID, and how to navigate getting insurance if you're planning to relocate and teach yoga in another country.   Disclaimer: The material presented in this podcast is for general informational purposes only. Please consult with your local insurance agent for specific advice or services needed.   Key Takeaways: [2:27] Shannon introduces the topic for this episode, which was inspired by questions and comments from the Connected Yoga Teacher community. [4:36] Shannon has a few announcements about upcoming events and trainings. [8:04] Shannon introduces her guests for this episode - Beth McVeigh and Joe Fagan. [11:17] What is yoga insurance and what gets Joe and Beth excited about helping yoga teachers with their insurance? [13:52] Why is it important for yoga teachers to have insurance, and what gets Beth  excited about her work? [15:16] What are some considerations with teaching yoga online? Is there a difference between live classes and pre-recorded classes, and does it make a difference who signs up? [18:42] What can yoga teachers do if they are not able to keep track of who is watching their videos online? Beth and Joe explain how insurance works for yoga teachers going outside their country of coverage. [24:02] Beth clarifies how it would work if a yoga teacher who has international web-based consulting coverage posts a video on Instagram and someone from a different country watches it and gets hurt as a result. [25:37] It is hard to provide blanket statements about which specific situations are covered and which aren't, so it would be best to check with your local advisor for any specific cases you are concerned about. [27:21] What should yoga teachers be aware of if they are planning to travel to another country to host a yoga teacher training or retreat? [29:22] If a yoga teacher is planning to relocate to another country, should they look into insurance before traveling or should they wait to get to their new location? [31:17] Shannon pops in with a quick note about the sponsor, OfferingTree. [33:44] What are the steps a yoga teacher should take if they are planning to go away for a whole year to teach yoga abroad?

[41:02] What has changed with waivers because of Covid? [48:09] Joe offers his clients a template of a waiver when they enroll into his program as well as other helpful resources available on the website.

When you’re a yoga teacher and you’re trying to build your digital presence it can be daunting. First, you might need a website. There are a lot of great tools for building websites like WordPress, Wix, and Squarespace. Then you need a way to email your students. Again there are tools for that like mail chimp and constant contact. But that’s another account to pay for and a password to remember. Then you need a way to schedule and register your students. Again there are tools for that, but it’s another account to create and pay for and another password to remember. Oh wait, how do I integrate my scheduling tool with my website... Arghhhh!

This week on the podcast I am joined by Brit Kolo from Marketing Personalities. After spending years working as a marketing coach, Brit created her own business where she studied the 16 Myers-Briggs (MBTI) personality types and determined what the best marketing strategy is for each of them. On this episode, Brit and I talk about Marketing Personalities, including why this important, how we can use our individual marketing personality to our benefit in our businesses, and how to start saying "no" to the things we think we should be doing in our businesses but aren't serving us. Brit also goes through my MBTI personality type - ENJF - and gives some examples of the type of marketing that ENFJ's (like me!) should be doing in their businesses. This was a really eye opening episode for me, and since implementing the strategies of my marketing personality into my business, I've seen a ton of shifts away from the things I think I should be doing and towards the marketing strategies that excite and light me up most.

This week on the podcast I am joined by Jenny Shih. Jenny is a business coach who has taught more than 25,000 women how to earn a full-time income working 30 hours per week or less as online, service-based entrepreneurs. For most of her time in business, Jenny was debilitatingly sick and at some points was only able to work a few hours each week. As the household breadwinner, Jenny found strategic ways to ensure her business remained highly profitable while also giving her the much-needed time to heal. Drawing on both her decade of experience in high tech and her training with Martha Beck and spiritual teacher Byron Katie, Jenny guides her clients through a no-fluff, step-by-step approach to creating thriving businesses they love without having to work long hours or make huge sacrifices. On this episode, Jenny shares her journey from full-time employee to working 30-hours a week online and making 6-figures. We talk about everything from how to identify opportunities and create your first project to how to manage your time when there is a lot on your plate.   Learn more about Jenny at jennyshih.com.    Enjoy!   ---   This episode is brought to you by BeYogi.
