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.

  • Great Content

    Shannon offers such great content! Love what I'm learning from her- Amy Peele

  • Just what I needed!
    August 4, 2022 by Lauralai44 from Australia

    This is a fantastic podcast for new and continuing yoga teachers. I stumbled across this podcast when I was just about to start teaching, i.e. the moment when I realised there was still sooo much I didn’t know! I did a 350hr YTT but as I graduated I felt like I had so much left to learn. I love the breadth and range of topics in this podcast, and Shannon’s openness to different perspectives allows the listener to question and learn, no matter where they are at in their yoga journey. Every time I listen, I come away with more knowledge but also more questions! I love how Shannon and the team find people who are passionate about their area, it makes me so much more interested to listen and learn. I joined in for the pelvic health knowledge, but I’ll be sticking around for connectedness, some accountability, and to keep broadening my scope of thought in the yoga realm. Thanks for keeping it real Shannon and always trying to honour real yoga in this podcast.

    Dear Shanon, You inspire me every Monday wenn I listen your new podcast. Thank you for the courage for the theme’s you are lately on. I think it’s time to rethink our thoughts and patterns about other people, cultures, gender and more. Yes! Now it’s the time. And you give me a new question to think about every Monday. Also till next week! And stay strong and happy. Namasté (and I don’t say this often, only wenn I feel it so. Also Namasté for you) Caroline Ligtenberg Do-In-Yoga.de

    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
