Just because the client doesn’t respond doesn’ Just because the client doesn’t respond doesn’t mean they’re not interested. 

Last week someone replied to an email I sent in 2019.

THAT WAS 4 YEARS AGO. 😆

Offering yoga in the workplace is very different than teaching in a studio. “Asana” refers to an organizational platform, not the 3rd limb of yoga. These are very different worlds, and our responsibility as Office Yogis is to bridge that gap. 

In my experience, it takes 6-14 weeks (depending on the company size) to go from inquiry and implementation with a new client. Therefore, being consistent and continuing to talk about your services is essential, even if it feels like no one is listening. This is a practice in #abhyasa, consistent, steady practice.

In the meantime, learn from teachers in your field. Follow up with people. Stay committed to your service. Just because the client doesn’t respond doesn’t mean they’re not interested.

PS- I’m sorry this is happening. Your job doesn’t define you or make you complete. Allow this to be a practice in non-attachment #vairagya and an opportunity for something better to come your way.

I’ve never been so nervous in my life! Five mi I’ve never been so nervous in my life! 

Five minutes before I walked on stage I was using my scarf to wipe the sweat from my armpits. 😅💦

I’ve spoke at big events dozens of times, but this one felt different. We were tackling significant issues like #climatejustice and #racialequity at work. The 787 audience members all felt like family, people I deeply respect and care about. It made my role feel that much more significant. 

Those of you who’ve taken my instructor training know this. I used Physi Breath to ground myself ASAP. I focused my eyes and reeled myself in. I took a page out of the Instructor playbook to get out of my head and into my body. 

It’s easy to get lost in the frenzy of activism if we aren’t grounded in ourselves. ZaaS, my well-being company, was the grounding force at the B Corp Champions Retreat. It was such an HONOR. 🙌🏽

Yoga is not the answer to solving these bigger issues. It’s the foundation from which we start.

TLDR; how to do YOGA through BUSINESS. 🙌🏽 T TLDR; how to do YOGA through BUSINESS. 🙌🏽

The B Corp Champions Retreat kicks off this week! 📍

The #bcorp Champions Retreat is a catalytic event for people using business as a force for good. 

My corporate well-being company, ZaaS | Zen as a Service, was asked to be a part of the conference this year.

I’m honored to be a keynote speaker and kick off the conference with yoga in the mornings! 🧘🏽‍♀️

This year's theme, HUMANITY @ WORK, celebrates the human values that fuel our community and economy. 

In short, it’s YOGA through BUSINESS.

Yoga teachers, do you remember your first reaction Yoga teachers, do you remember your first reaction to teaching online? 

For me, it was so hard to gauge what students needed. It felt impossible to read the room and give adjustments and feedback. 

Don't get me wrong, I loved the short commute into my living room and strolling in minutes before our sessions started. But it didn't feel the same. I was struggling to find the joy that teaching used to give me. 

Things shifted when I stopped comparing the two, teaching in person vs. online. In the podcast, I share with @iamjuliethahn how I turned my mindset and started to see the benefits.

DOUBLE TAP IF YOU HAD A HARD TIME TRANSITIONING TO DOUBLE TAP IF YOU HAD A HARD TIME TRANSITIONING TO VIRTUAL. ❤️

When I finally stopped comparing, I could see the benefits of virtual classes. One is not better than the other. They are DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES. 

In Office Yoga Instructor Training we’ll talk about teaching in an office, online, at conferences, and workshops. The structure is different, but the yoga is the same. 

Listen to the full podcast with @iamjuliethahn (link in comments). 🎙

Teaching in an office space is different: •The Teaching in an office space is different:

•The room is cold.
•The floors are cement.
•And you have no authority.*

When teaching in a yoga studio, you have *some* command over the room and feel of the space. 

*When showing up to an office, YOU are the outsider coming into their space. It’s very different situation.

In training, we’ll discuss the basics of converting the office into an oasis. It’s not what you’d expect… 😉

Only 4 seats in the March training. #linkinbio

    ...the thing of which I am most proud is our work together with Office Yoga.

    Dave Lilly, CEO

  • Having Maryam offer yoga at our corporate office has been a game-changer for us.

    Those who participate notice an increase in productivity both mentally and physically. The sessions provide those the opportunity to have access to Yoga who might otherwise not have this experience.

  • It has been so convenient having yoga at work.

    Classes are playful and creative which brings a nice balance to the work environment. I get most of my quality work done after coming back from class. Tuesdays and Thursdays are now my favorite days to work!"
