About Lily Dwyer Begg And Mado Hesselink
Lily brings two decades of experience leading yoga retreats all over the world, from California wine country to Hawaii, from Mexico to Greece to Italy. Running retreats was a dream, a whim, a spontaneous and lighthearted endeavor for Lily as a yoga teacher….until March 2020.
In March 2020 when COVID shut down borders, she had a sold out retreat in Greece with 35 folks enrolled and a deposit for an incredible retreat center in Southern Spain. The retreat center was unable to refund the almost $50,000 and she was stuck between students requesting refunds, and money that was no longer in my possession to refund. After months of anxiety and sleepless nights worrying she decided to lean into the lessons and develop a bulletproof system for running retreats.
Enter Mado!
Mado started teaching yoga in 2005 and fell into the common pattern of running all over town and barely making ends meet. After a decade of working harder and harder without more to show for it, Mado realized that she was missing a major piece of the puzzle: business skills. After diving headfirst into this foreign territory, she was surprised to discover a passion for integrating the data driven approach of the business world with yoga’s focus on heart-centered intuition. Since 2018 Mado has been supporting yoga teachers to do the same through her podcast, online courses, and one-to-one consultations.
Lily hired Mado as her Yoga Business Coach, revamped all her retreat policies, and emerged from that period of uncertainty with back to back filled up retreats that I could sell with confidence even in the uncertain times we are living through right now.
In this webinar, you'll benefit from Lily’s two decades of experience leading retreats and the insights she gained from working with her brilliant business coach (and co-leader for this webinar, Mado).
In addition to leading retreats, find Lily online for a strong yoga practice! Lily runs a Livestream Membership where she teaches three weekly online yoga classes and leads Home Yoga Online Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training virtually each Fall. Mado and Lily have also collaborated on a in-depth online course called "Retreat Roadmap".
