If you aren't confident in what you love to teach and whom you're meant to serve, how will the right people find you and fill up your offerings?
Having success and the impact we want (however you define success and impact) is simple. But we often over-complicate it and let fear overcome our dreams, passions, and desires.
🚫 Fear of failure.
🚫 Fear of rejection.
🚫 Fear of the unknown.
🚫 Fear of wasting time.
🚫 Fear of what others might think or say about us.
And to add insult to injury, many of us lack the confidence and/or discipline to make it happen (even when we know what we're supposed to be doing).
After a lot of trial and error (and a few moments when I was ready to quit and go back to my old career as a hair stylist), I tried something different. And it changed EVERYTHING. With some more experimenting I came up with a formula for creating a successful yoga teacher practice.
The formula is this: Series + Occasional Pop-ups & Workshops.
At it's most basic, that's it! It's as simple as that.
Using specialty offerings does several things:
Creates demand because there's limited availability
Creates an experience that feels more special than a regular yoga class
Keeps things interesting for your student base to fight off boredom and lack of interest
Creates predictable income and attendance because they pay up front to secure their spot.
Allows new students to test things out in a low pressure, low commitment environment (and often funnels those students into your other offerings!)
Just to name a few.
It often comes down to lacking confidence, feeling overwhelmed & scared/afraid, and people talk themselves out of taking action.
Some of us just need to know the "what" and we're off to the races. But many of us struggle with implementation and taking action.
Sometimes we even know what to do, but we just aren't doing it!
Fear often keeps us stuck.
And the reality is this: Most of us go through seasons where we need a little help to take action. And sometimes we need a little guidance to get clarity on what we really want in the first place (or re-evaluate what we want because something has changed).
For those, mentorship and coaching is the difference that makes the difference.
Some focused training, mentorship, accountability, and community is the special sauce that can propel you toward your dreams, and have the impact you were created for!
And it's been so inspiring to see people taking action and seeing results after only ONE coaching call. Can you imagine what would happen if we spent 3 months together??
Like Amy D, taking action on THE SAME DAY of her coaching call and having a student sign up for 4 sessions of her new yoga spa offering!

Who’s this for?
The teacher who’s just getting started and needs a next step!
The discouraged teacher who needs a breath of revival after a few hard years
The teacher who would like to make this passion a profession.
The teacher that feels isolated from like-minded community
The teacher who’s on the hamster wheel and needs fresh ideas
The teacher who needs a bit of coaching for your current offering
What you get…
Weekly live and interactive training/coaching calls, plus office hours for Q&A.
Outlines for how to build your unique offers
Homework + reflection prompts
Access to us and the community in a private Facebook group where you can get feedback on your ideas & offers, get support and encouragement, and get your questions answered.
BONUS: Pre-built series content for you to use & launch IMMEDIATELY!
BONUS: Our premium course that teaches you the ins and outs of Creating & Launching a Series
BONUS: Access to the recordings from our Coaching Over Coffee series.
PLUS: The first 5 people who join will receive a FREE 1-1 strategy call ($250 value)
NOTE: We're limiting the group to 25 people, and if you join by midnight tonight (6/27) central time you'll receive a $100 discount! Tomorrow we'll open this up to our entire teacher audience at the full beta rate.
All of the calls will be recorded, and you will have permanent access to the recordings. The videos will be accessible through our content platform, and a Facebook account isn't required to attend the live calls or to access the recordings. But all group interaction outside of the calls will occur in the Facebook group.
We've coached people 1:1 in the past and have seen incredible results (like Amy S who we'll highlight below). But 1:1 is expensive. You would invest over $3,000 to get the amount of coaching and access that you'll be getting when you join Next Steps, and at a fraction of the investment.
We still do offer 1:1 when it makes sense for both sides, but many more people could be helped by a group program. And we actually think group coaching can be more powerful than 1:1!
You're benefitting from the collective wisdom, experience, and creativity of the group (not to mention built-in community and accountability from other people just like you).
In the future we're planning on selling this program for $997. But this is the beta version, and we want to help as many people as possible right out of the gate see REAL results FAST.
If you'd love our help and guidance in doing that, your investment is just $247!
After getting certified to teach, Amy was so paralyzed by overwhelm and fear that she DID NOTHING (didn't teach a class) for 6 months! After some mentorship and coaching with Kristen, Amy learned how to use Series and specialty offerings to grow her student base and design a teaching practice that she LOVED. Her practice has grown so much that she's now looking for a larger space!
Misty struggled for quite a while, offering only donation based classes. She was afraid to charge what she was worth, and only with the help of Kristen was she able to break free from the power of fear and THRIVE as a teacher! She grew so fast that she launched her own studio only months after starting to work with Kristen (and later joined the CDY team)!
Then through the pandemic and challenging health issues, she was forced to pivot multiple times over the last couple years. With the help of Kristen and Nick she was able to keep her doors open and once again build a thriving teaching practice!
Jessica was struggling with confidence, afraid to put herself out there and get up in front of people. She knew she was called to help people and bring this amazing gift to others, but she just couldn't get past the fear of failure.

It isn't happenstance that you came across us in this particular season and time in your life.
The Lord meets you where you are, but He can't do the work for you. He knocks on the door, but you have to open it.
We know it can be scary to step into the unknown and stretch outside of our comfort zones.
Especially when we don't feel qualified.
Can you relate? None of us here at CDY felt qualified. We all battled those "Who are we?" thoughts. BUT...we pressed on anyway, in spite of fear. Like we often say around here...we did it afraid!
God doesn't call the qualified, he qualifies the called.
Said another way: If He calls you, He’ll equip you.
The challenging part is the call comes first. We have to take steps of faith first. Before we feel ready. Before we know all the details. Before we have all the answers.
But chances are good that you’ve experienced this before in your life. And when you look back, you can see His hand at work, and see how He proves Himself faithful.
He lives inside you, and His power gives you what you NEED to do what He's called you to DO.
So if you feel that tug on your heart, we're here to give you a gentle nudge, to support and help guide you for this next part of your journey.
We are only offering this 75% off discount through midnight Friday, 7/1, which means you will never be able to get this valuable program at such a low investment again.
You CAN do it. With the right mindset, with the right tools, and with the right support, you can transform your life and the lives of others in your world.
Do don't waste another year dreaming about what could be.
