Listen "Suck it Up and Put on Your Stretchy Clothes: A Conversation with My Tough Love Coach, Day Christensen"
Episode Synopsis
EPISODE 13 🌸 Everybody needs a Day! Join me for an invigorating interview with Day Christensen, founder of the Day1Yoga Method.
Day has taught so many people, myself included, about functional movement patterns and how to build a skill-based athletic practice. As a long-time, internationally-known practitioner + teacher of yoga, Day is “putting [the strongest] rays of sunshine out into the world” through her online classes, workshops, and certification program.
In this conversation we discuss:
Her journey as an athlete and how she became the person she needed
Understanding the middle ground between mentors and customers
How our business is affected by the way we feel about ourselves
Approaches to building skills and an athletic practice
The importance of a legacy and her newfound idea of success
The perspective shift from self employment to business owner
How she defines her offerings to set herself apart
The difference between flexibility and mobility
The effectiveness of sprinting and the impact of intense-spent time
How to accomplish insurmountable tasks
What prioritizing oneself might look like
Her definition of an entrepreneur, and her favorite parts + challenges of being one
Reasons/ways to connect with her and her community of practitioners
