How do you decipher need vs greed? How do you pick and chose who gets the break and who wants time equity for very little exchange. They see the yogi mentality as weakness or expected giving? Our payment is spiritual. Yeah but tell that to my creditors.
This is SUCH A GREAT QUESTION Denise… to the extent that I just wrote myself a note to create a video on this exact topic! I discuss this in depth in THRIVE, my virtual yoga business training course. There is absolutely a fine line between opening up to abundance and owning our value and worth as service providers vs greed. When it comes to things like discounting your services, it will always depend on the situation. If you’re connected to your true energy, you’ll be able to know intuitively in the moment whether to honor your rate or give someone a deal. The most important thing is that you see money as a sacred energy exchange. I also suggest adding Karma Yoga to your work, such as volunteering or offering your students / clients complimentary services such as pre-recorded online classes, etc to build a sense of trust. We need money to survive and have the resources to continue to show up and serve. I think money is a spiritual practice. It’s all about finding the balance, knowing your worth and having integrity!💛💛💛
