Suck it Up and Put on Your Stretchy Clothes: A Conversation with My Tough Love Coach, Day Christensen

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
