HERE'S MY FINAL TIP for researching venues for yog HERE'S MY FINAL TIP for researching venues for yoga workshops: VISIT THE VENUES IN PERSON.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Once you’ve done some initial research into venues for your yoga workshop. you’ll want to physically tour the spaces.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photographs can be misleading or don’t provide details such as electrical outlet placement, where the bathrooms are located, or if there’s an odd angle or column in the middle of the space.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Walk the floor, roll out mats if you need to in order to determine how many people you can realistically fit in the space.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Think about the topic of your workshop. If you’re conducting a restorative yoga workshop, you’ll want extra space to accommodate props. Based on the activities you’ve planned, or are thinking about, does the space support them?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Make note of the drive and parking at the venue. You’ll want to be able to communicate clearly how to get to the workshop. (And participants always ask about this.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PRO TIP 👉 If the venue isn’t local, or close enough to drive to (in the case of a yoga retreat), have your contact person walk the space while you FaceTime or Skype with them.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Once you’ve identified the ideal location for your yoga workshop and read the fine print, you’re ready to sign the agreement/contract and pay the deposit (if one is required).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Next up in the series: OUTLINING THE WORKSHOP⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #yogadreams #dreamwork #yogalifecoach #yogabusiness #yogablog #yogablogger #yogajunkie #yogaevents #goaldigger #yogipreneur #yogatips #yogajourneys #yogaforall #yogacoach #yogagoals #yogalifestyles #yogavibes #yogateacherlife #yogateachertrainer #yogatraining #yogainstructor #teachingyoga #yogateacherlife #purplelotusyoga
We're still talking researching yoga WORKSHOP VENU We're still talking researching yoga WORKSHOP VENUES.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Not only do you need to know pricing and understand the agreement and contract, but you also need ask about the DOs and DON'Ts for the facility.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Are outside food & beverage allowed, or is it provided by the venue?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Can you light candles, burn incense, diffuse oils, etc.? Some locations have strict policies in place regarding no open fire.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Are you responsible for full clean-up of the facility? Sweep the floors, clean the mirrors, wipe down the mats.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Does the facility provide any supplies and/or materials or do you have to bring it all in? Pens/pencils, easel and pad, dry erase board and markers.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *What, if any and how many, props does they facility have?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *If you want to play music, is the facility set up for that or will you need to bring in your own? Does your device work with what they have (such as a Wifi or Bluetooth connection)?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Do you have access to, and control of, the thermostat?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Will there be someone on site if something goes wrong? Do you have a telephone number for your point of contact?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #purplelotusyoga #yogateachertraining #yogateacherlife #ytt #200ytt #300ytt #yogateachertrainer #yogatraining #yogainstructor #yogateachersofig #teachingyoga #yogaschool #yogateacherlife #ryt200 #200hourytt #ryt300 #300hourytt #yogabusiness #yogablog #yogablogger #yogajunkie #yogaevents #goaldigger #yogipreneur #yogatips
Day 2 in Part 1 of ORGANIZING YOUR FIRST YOGA WORK Day 2 in Part 1 of ORGANIZING YOUR FIRST YOGA WORKSHOP: Understand the 📝 fine print.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Regardless of what venue you choose for your event, you’ll want to have an agreement or contract that clearly states what each party is responsible for the duration of your event.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Some items usually covered in an agreement/contract:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Day and time of your event.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Agreed upon cost/fee structure.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Required deposit and/or security deposit.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Does the agreed upon cost cover set-up and clean-up time or will you need to pay extra for that time?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *When is payment due? Are you collecting the money and cutting a check to the venue? Some studios prefer to collect all the money for the workshop and then pay out to the organizer.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Cancellation policy. Is there a fee or penalty for cancelling the workshop? How far in advance?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Does the venue owner get a “free” or discounted spot in the workshop? This occurs more with studio owners than other facilities.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the next post: Familiarize yourself with the DOs and DON'Ts of the space.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can read the entire post on the blog.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #yogabusiness #yogablog #yogablogger #yogajunkie #yogaevents #goaldigger #yogipreneur #yogatips #yogadreams #dreamwork #yogalifecoach #yogateacherlife #ytt #200ytt #300ytt #yogateachertrainer #yogatraining #yogainstructor #yogateachersofig #teachingyoga #yogaschool #yogateacherlife #ryt200 #200hourytt #ryt300 #300hourytt #purplelotusyoga
