On today's show I speak with Rane Bowen & Jo Stewart of The Flow Artists Podcast. Jo & Rane also operate Garden Of Yoga, and I was really excited to speak with them because I think they have responded to the changes in our industry super quickly and intelligently while retaining their values. If you haven’t listened to the flow artists podcast before I highly recommend it - Rane & Jo have on really incredible guests, and cover many similar topics like inclusivity, accessibility and diversity. Jo has been teaching for the last 15 years - and has a strong focus on making her classes accessible, trauma informed and available to those in the community. Rane has been teaching yoga and meditation since 2015, and has a strong interest in where meditation and technology overlap. Before teaching yoga, Rane worked as a web developer - and together, Jo and Rane share some really powerful information about teaching yoga online.PODCAST HIGHLIGHTSHow to back yourself when promoting yourself online - and it might not be what you thinkBeing engaged with social media without being online everydayHow to manage expectations & perfectionism before moving forward onlineWhy using what you have is the best way to beat tech overwhelmRane & Jo’s tech set up for live stream clasesRane & Jo’s tech set up for prerecorded classesHow to diversify your online offerings and diversify your incomeWhy and how to bring your values into what you offer onlineRane & Jo’s predictions about the future of teaching yogaWe also nerd out on podcasting a bit too - so if you’re thinking that now is the time to start a podcast - you might be a little more inspired to do so after this episode.FIND RANE & JORane’s InstagramJo’s InstagramThe Garden Of Yoga WebsiteThe Flow Artists WebsiteFIND CORACora’s InstagramCora’s NewsletterThe Teachers ClubFor links & resources mentioned in this episode go to www.corageroux.com/podcastepisodes/episode20
Lotte* fragt: “Liebe Katia, lieber Matze, herzlichen Dank für den tollen Podcast! Ich höre ihn immer zu meiner Mama- Auszeit mit einer großen Tasse Kaffee. Unsere beiden Jungs sind fast 5 und fast 3 Jahre alt und wir sind eine glückliche Familie aus Österreich. Unsere zwei sind beide sehr sensibel, in ihrem Temperament jedoch sehr unterschiedlich. Der kleinere ist ruhiger und konzentrierter, der grosse spontaner und wilder. Was unseren fast 5 jährigen zur Zeit sehr beschäftigt ist der Tod. In seinem Leben wurde er noch nie mit dem Sterben direkt konfrontiert, stellt aber sehr viele Fragen dazu. Wir erklären ihm natürlich alles kindgerecht, er reagiert aber stets sehr emotional, fängt bitterlich an zu weinen und ist auch danach sehr nachdenklich und grübelt. Auch in der Nacht wacht er ab und zu auf und weint, weil er Angst hat, dass jemand stirbt. Wir sind nicht religiös, ich erkläre ihm aber, dass es einen Himmel gibt und dass da seine Oma ist usw. Auch auf seine Fragen, wie alles genau ausschaut, ob es da Autos gibt usw. versuche ich zwar zu sagen, dass ich es natürlich nicht genau weiß, ich aber sicher bin, dass wir uns alle wieder sehen. Dann weint er immer noch mehr und sagt er will nicht sterben und ob denn Kinder auch sterben müssen, oder Mamas…? Ich will ihn nicht zu sehr anlügen, muss ihm aber irgendwie die Angst nehmen. Wie kann ich ihm seine Ängste erleichtern? Lg aus Tirol, Lotte*” *Name geändert Wenn ihr auch Fragen an Katia Saalfrank habt, dann schickt sie gerne an familienrat@mitvergnuegen.com Katia ist täglich um 8 Uhr live auf Instagram und Facebook, um mit Familien gemeinsam in jeden Tag zu starten.
