083: Instagram for Yoga Teachers with Daniel McIntire

 

As a yoga teacher have you thought about creating an Instagram account? Do you already have an Instagram presence and wonder if you’re on the right path? Have you thought about creating a separate account for your yoga business? Today’s guest, Daniel McIntire, the founder of Influncrrs helps to answer these and many more questions about Instagram.

 

Daniel McIntire knew yoga was right for him the first time he tried it. It took him over 3 years to consider teaching but when he did his 200 YTT it was another great fit. He began by teaching part-time and expanded into full-time teaching when he quit his corporate job in 2016. He taught several classes a week to sustain a living but found in time that he was getting burnt out.

 

Daniel has happily found a place for yoga in his life- as a hobby. He has found his current niche as the creator and owner of Influncrrs by following his passion for incorporating his yoga practice into his online presence. As he expanded his skills in this area, he was able to help others market events on Snapchat and Instagram. Daniel came to realize that he felt most passionate about and excelled in guiding clients through expanding their business through Instagram. When working with his clients focuses on a couple of key goals 1) to increase traffic to their Instagram account and 2) encourage public engagement and feedback.

 

Daniel shares many gems including the importance of quality over quantity when it comes to posting, the value of public engagement in the comments section, and his 3 key components to a good post.

    June 9, 2022 by myusernamesucks from Canada

    Thank you thank you thank you Shannon for all you do. I cannot imagine my life without this podcast in it! I've learned so much about how to be an inclusive and caring yoga teacher. And I thought I already was!! There is not one episode that at the end I thought I didn't learn anything. So many nuggets and takeaways. I appreciate you and your team so much. Sending you so much love and gratitude. -Kelly

  • Love this resource!

    Hi Shannon, In episode 272 you asked for us to review your podcast and I thought I had already done so but I hadn’t. I love your voice, it’s so calm and easy to listen to. Your recording is of high quality and I really appreciate that, especially because I usually listen while I’m driving. Your topics are always thought provoking and useful. I often feel revitalized and eager to get to work after listening. Thanks for keeping me in the loop of what’s happening in the yoga world! From Langley BC Canada

    I’m so grateful for this podcast as a resource to continue to develop, refine & challenge my yoga practice as teacher & practitioner. While folding laundry LOL. Shannon’s topics and guests are diverse, and I love her thoughtful, curious, warm approach to the interviews. I always leave an episode with more questions than I had at the start, in the best way!

  • Thank you!

    So grateful for this connection, the way you engage in real conversation (listening to guests and listeners as well as sharing your own experience), and every opportunity you present for learning and reflection. I look forward to every episode and always have a practical takeaway to use in my personal practice (life) and in practice with others. Thank you for paying attention, asking the tough questions, and remaining authentic, vulnerable, teachable. What a great role model and resource!

    I have been listening to this podcast for a couple of years now and it has definitely been a part of my growth as a yoga teacher over time. I was inspired to join the Pelvic Health Professionals Membership that Shannon also runs and that has been a great decision/investment in my personal and professional development too. I really value how candidly Shannon presents. Her interviews regarding social justice and cultural appropriation considerations have been so helpful as I navigate this space as a yoga teacher, continuing to learn and seek to improve.
