    So when you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also to the feeling of what is being conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it.

    --Jiddu Krishnamurti

    Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force.

    --Brenda Ueland

    With the gift of listening comes the gift of healing.

    --Catherine de Hueck

    Tools for building a successful yoga business.
    March 2006

    Listening is a choice, one that's not always easy to make. What would it be like in this moment to listen? What can you hear as your read these symbols we call "words". Yoga develops this level of attention. Do you bring that same level of listening off your yoga mat and into your marketing?

    edi-march Marketing as Listening
    What do you hear?

    Edi Pasalis, creator of I Do Yoga, lets deep listening guide her marketing decisions. The result is an organically grown business, led by a woman truly in tune with her clients.

    "Rather than trying to get as many customers as I can, I listen for what is called to be done," she says.

    One of those things calling to be done as she started out was an Internet presence. She created a web site and a regular e-mail newsletter distributed every six weeks or so. Another thing calling to be done was a monthly workshop.

    Marketing as listening is an exercise in respecting your own process, Edi says. "If I don't respect my path, it would explode or collapse. When I'm not in the space of listening, I feel I'm acting out of a place of fear or non-abundance. Listening is a more positive and trusting way to walk in the world."

    How do you walk in the world? Do you skip, saunter, tiptoe? Try matching your marketing approach to your life approach, and listen for what your business calls for.

    It just might result in better service to your clients.

    Veterans Listen

    Mindful Marketing's Alicia Bessette wrote an article for the latest issue of Yoga International magazine.

    Not only is this a story about how Veterans use yoga to cultivate inner listening skills, it's a great story about how a yoga studio can listen to--and address--the needs of a community.
