Jatayu and Serving vs. Saving in Challenging Times

For some Yoga teachers coming to the rescue can be a first impulse. But is this truly in the highest service to your students (and family)? And what are the longer term implications for your own well-being? In this episode I'm sharing a small story about Jatayu as a teacher for the role of servant over saviour.

Also a reminder for single coaching sessions. My 1:1 support is now available in do-able, affordable doses. Here is the link for info: https://www.amymcdonald.com.au/specialtimes

Catching Jnanavarana in Your Biz... Before It's Too Late!

Have you ever found yourself having taken action or made a decision only to find yourself feeling, ‘What the HELL was I thinking?’ Jnanavarana is the phenomenon of not having access to all of your wisdom. Making decisions or taking action when some of your knowledge is obscured.

In this episode I’m outlining the three times you need to consider this, and some prompts and tools for each of those times so you find yourself regretting fewer choices and actions, and feeling more confident that you’re going in to things with your eyes wide open. I hope it’s useful!
