Meet Cheryl MacDonald, founder of YogaBellies and the powerhouse behind the Soulful Entrepreneur Programme.


Hello beautiful souls! I'm Cheryl MacDonald - passionate yogi, mother, business maven, and founder of the globally recognised YogaBellies. More than that, I'm a woman who is deeply committed to creating a transformative shift in the way we approach the business of yoga.

My journey began in the corporate world, working as a Business Analyst. While the corporate hustle and bustle kept me busy, my heart always found its way back to the yoga mat. At first, it was a means to balance the demands of my high-pressure job; later, it became an essential part of my life and identity. Even as I climbed the corporate ladder, I was simultaneously teaching yoga in the evenings for free, simply for the love of it. The thought of transforming my passion for yoga into a viable career seemed like a far-off dream.

After my son was born, the calling became too powerful to ignore. I knew I had to make a change. So, I stepped out of the familiar confines of my corporate job and embraced my entrepreneurial spirit, leading me to establish YogaBellies.

I won't pretend it was easy; there were plenty of trials, tribulations, and self-doubt along the way. However, my determination to create a community-focused business that empowers women to have sustainable careers as yoga teachers propelled me forward.

Over the years, I've amassed not only a wealth of business expertise but also numerous accolades and awards. These include the LuxLife Most Inspirational Women's Yoga Teacher 2021, The Great British Entrepreneur Award 2019, and the Scottish Edge Award for Enterprise 2013, among others. I've also had the privilege of being featured in renowned media outlets such as The Huffington Post, ITV's This Morning, and even secured a winning spot on BBC Dragon's Den.

My yoga journey has led me to teach renowned celebrities like Kimberley Walsh, Fearne Cotton, and Catherine Tyldsley. However, the true reward has been witnessing the transformative impact of yoga on countless lives and sharing my business insights with hundreds of YogaBellies teachers.

Now, I'm taking a step further with the Soulful Entrepreneur Programme. My vision is to empower YOU, whether you're a new yoga teacher or an established one, to grow a successful, soulful business. I'm thrilled to share my experience, wisdom, and the business systems that turned YogaBellies into a global phenomenon.

Are you ready to embrace your entrepreneurial spirit, create an authentic, thriving yoga business, and make a lasting impact on your community? If yes, join me on this exciting journey with the Soulful Entrepreneur Programme. Together, let's change the narrative of the yoga business world!

A wonderful module to end the 300hour Empower course. Lots of structured hints to take your business to the next level - whether you are new to teaching or a veteran Looking to update your skills. I especially found Cheryls Rolodex and the business funnel to be most helpful. It’s basically a how to guide of the things to do and not to do and the mistakes that Cheryl has made along the way. I felt that it was quite a heavy course - lots of info, in a good way though. Will be a fantastic business resource for years to come and something I can dip into from time to time when i need inspiration or a different way to do something. I didn’t know how much I didn’t know before I did this course. Really excellent course!

I have found this module useful in clarifying what I want my business to be. How to use my inner beliefs to focus on my main interests and be true to what I want my business to achieve. I thought I wanted something else but looking at this in a deeper way, has allowed me to see where my heart lies. I think now that I have made these decisions. My business is so much easier to promote because I believe passionately about women, yoga and pregnancy. I still have alot to learn on the business side but all the information here is a comfort because I can refer back, when I need things at different stages of my business. There is always ways to improve, so step by step I can growth with the knowledge I am gaining.

In our final module, I feel that I have had my steepest learning curve of all of the modules. I have had to learn quickly about marketing, creating a brand, business plans and figuring out my reason why and the type of client I would be able to support. I feel that I will continue to work on this aspect of my professional development as I want to make my business as successful as I can . I have also found the opportunity to speak with SYT and other students on the course invaluable to learn what they are doing and how they are setting up/making their businesses grow!

This module was very interesting and indepth, but also very challenging. I think I could have benefited from short regular sessions to discuss the business topics and progress through the different points maybe all together or in small groups. It was quite overwhelming. I will continue to work on this module and use all the fantastic tips.

This was probably the hardest part of the course for me. there has been so much to learn on the business side and I still need to review and put into practice my business skills in order to take my yoga business forward. it is reassuring to have the materials to hand for the future as I will need to refer back to them. I am nervous about embarking on the tech side of the business as it is all new to me, but hope the materials and what I have learnt to date will guide me. If there was ever the opportunity to have a 20 min (for example) one to one chat with Cheryl offered as part of the course, it could be useful as questions often go out of my head during live group calls.

How Is SOULFUL ENTREPRENEUR™ Training Delivered?


Drawing on my own experiences, both good and bad, with online training, I've designed the SOULFUL ENTREPRENEUR™ programme to provide the depth, interactivity, and resources of an in-person course while offering the convenience, accessibility, and longevity that online training allows. So let's take a look at how we make it happen.

Live and Interactive Sessions

The heartbeat of SOULFUL ENTREPRENEUR™ is our live, online business training sessions and weekly live mentoring sessions with me, Cheryl, and our esteemed Senior YogaBellies Teachers. Each week, we delve into different aspects of yoga business, engaging in dynamic discussions and activities to reinforce your learning. We also provide accompanying workbooks and business plans for you to prepare ahead of each session.

Don't worry if you can't make a live session - all our sessions are recorded and uploaded to our online portal for you to access and review in your own time. And, of course, if you prefer, you can study at your own pace, working through the recorded sessions whenever suits you.

Handbooks and Resources

Throughout your journey with us, you'll have access to two comprehensive yoga business handbooks/workbooks, a yoga business plan template, and my complete business Rolodex. We've put together an extensive suite of resources that will give you the tools and insights to elevate your yoga business.

Online Learning

The beauty of SOULFUL ENTREPRENEUR™ is that you can start at any time. With our library of pre-recorded live sessions, lecture videos, and breakdown videos, you can immerse yourself in learning whenever and wherever you want. You also get access to downloadable handbooks, yoga business "Cheat Sheets", slideshows, audio learning materials, and more. We run our live online programmes twice a year, and once you're signed up, you're welcome to join these sessions at any point.

Assessment

If you're aiming for the 50-Hour Yoga Alliance Accredited qualification, you'll need to submit your business plan and complete an online comprehension quiz to gain your certification. Upon successful completion, you'll receive a downloadable certificate from YogaBellies. Not only does this attest to your accomplishment, but it also counts as credits towards the 300-Hour EMPOWER YTT if completed within three years.

The SOULFUL ENTREPRENEUR™ programme is all about providing a flexible, interactive, and resource-rich learning experience that fits into your lifestyle while empowering you to turn your yoga passion into a thriving business. Join us, and let's build your yoga business together!
