Manage episode 487302025 series 3395926
This conversation holds two places we need to talk about.
First, how can we use tech and still be human? What do we need to adjust in order to use what tech can give us, while also being our most human selves?
Secondly, what practical ways can tech help up in our yoga businesses?
Check out this conversation and find out.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
*Springboarding is one of the first ways I ever used AI for my own business. I really do find it useful to have someone or something else to bounce ideas off of, and asking AI for both creative prompts and time management solutions has been something I really value.
*This idea of the balance of artistry and practicality is one that we also talked about with J Brown on his episode for this series. There is a benefit to struggle, and from that struggle we can create beautiful things. However, practically speaking, we can use AI for ideas of things that aren’t necessarily needed to struggle. Did someone ask you to do a yoga class for kids, and you need ideas for crafts? AI can be a great place to gain inspiration quickly and efficiently.
*We have to add a human twist to AI content. Have you ever received an email from someone who is using AI to make the copy? It is often both weird and insulting. Make sure that any content you get from an AI source (be it ChatGPT, Gemini, or Grok) is also being vetted by your brain. Shift the language, make it seem less formal, and more, for lack of a better word, human.
*Individualizing our practice for people is one thing that AI is not competing with us on…yet. I know optimists are confident AI won’t ever be able to match our ability to create customized yoga therapy sequences, or anything else for that matter–I am not one of those people. I think AI’s ability to create customized anything will happen sooner rather than later. But right now, AI can’t do that, and we can. So lean into the idea that you can make something totally unique just for a particular individual, be it a yoga therapy plan or a custom yoga class.
*I think AI taking over alignment will happen really quickly for us. All those “alignment-based” classes and workshops we have sold will likely go away for a more AI-based approach. And thank goodness, honestly. We were focusing on the wrong things anyway.
*If AI takes over the physicality and alignment, this could be the move that gets people pushing us into more yoga-y yoga. We need to lean into our personal experiences and the philosophy and lifestyle portions of the practice in order to bring more of our human selves to the equation.
