Just as you can watch someone’s pose
in yoga and point out specific errors that they are oblivious to, you also have
the potential to see your yoga workshop in the same way. With the right
perspective and knowledge, a yoga trainer can very specifically
identify a problem area and what needs to change. But only in rare cases is the
problem actually the yoga skill of services being delivered to the student.
Sometimes we get so attached to an idea that maybe we created ourselves that we forget to do a logical analysis.
It’s always easy to see it in other people, but very hard to see in ourselves. Is there a class or service that you created, which for whatever reason has few sales? Consider areas of your workshop where you are being guided by emotions, not facts.
When we are emotionally driven in workshop, our strengths become weaknesses. Self-confidence becomes arrogance, ambition becomes ruthlessness, quick-thinking becomes impulsiveness, and strategic risk-taking turns to gambling. And one clear sign that emotions are taking over is that in discussions of a given topic, there is a clear need to be right and correct instead of a striving to do what is best for the workshop.

Another technique is to ask someone else for
their honest opinion with the understanding that you will not interrupt them,
or offer any feedback other than asking informational questions. Remember,
successful yoga workshop is driven by facts, not emotions..jpg)
