Yoga instructor burn-out – what helps? what prevents it?
I do not have the answers to the above questions, i dont believe here that there is general practical advise, a quick-fix, that will answer this question, but that the matter is one of each of us continuing to grow and honestly look within ourselves and listen to the truth in our hearts.
I found myself drawn to this topic when i saw it, because i have been journeying through something similar, and I am responding in the light of my own experience as a full time yoga teacher for 10 years. I teach general classes, healing one-to-ones, i hold week long meditation and yoga retreats, and I'm training teachers for the third year. When looking at this topic a few things that i explored and delved into for myself, came to mind. Why did i start yoga in the first place? Why did i become a yoga teacher? What is burn-out? What does it mean to be a yoga teacher?
Why did i start yoga in the first place?
I started practicing yoga in my mid-twenties because i had back pain from scoliosis, and was getting migraines, and when i came across this yoga place i just got it that this was what i needed to do. I went to classes once or twice a week, and my condition improved. I met my first teacher trainer, and was absolutely swept off my feet by the practice. The joy, the excitement, the sense of freedom to move, the sense of internal strength and centered-ness (what i thought then was centered-ness..) Do you recognize this? The place and time when you were practicing entirely because it made you FEEL GOOD, and it brought you peace and joy!? When you had a life as a person, who enjoyed and benefitted enormously from practicing yoga? When you were not identified with the concept of what a person that does yoga is?
Why did i become a yoga teacher?
I embarked on my first two-year teacher training, simply because i loved practicing, i loved the teacher, and i just couldn't get enough! As i finished my training, yoga was getting popular in dublin, and i started teaching a beginners class. Within months i was teaching several classes a week, both in studios as well as my own organized ones. I loved it, i kept learning, and my own continued training was a priority. Thinking back on those times i pray that 'you are always in the right time, at the place, doing the right thing' is true! In reality, i was enthusiastic and passionate about my practice, and about teaching, it was very exciting and very joyful. A few years were like that. Only somewhere along the way it felt like it was starting to wear me down, and i started enjoying it less. It felt like work, and the title, image 'yoga teacher' felt more like a burden, like a kind of mask i had to hold up, because i knew inside that i wasn't happy. The yoga training that i had gone through so far had certainly set me on the path of yoga. It only became apparent to me a few years later, that through my 'yoga practice', and continued training with advanced world recognized teachers, and striving for yoga perfection in postures and way of being, i had not actually addressed in depth the emotional and psychological issues that were hiding inside. Instead, my practice and my new found role in society, had become part of what my ego's image needed to stay safe! I know my essence was still present in the teaching, but personally, i was super unhappy, we all know the pain of the illusion of separation right? Where it feels like you are pretending to be someone you're not, when your laughing on the outside and not inside, because inside your mind is frantically busy with analyzing, you're covering up your pain, putting on a brave face, etc.
This is where this topic gets really interesting! As far as i can make out, burn-out happens when your daily actions are not aligned with your souls purpose. It happens because we are not fueled and sustained from within by the light of our life's path, but keep going a certain way out of fear. It happens when we forget to honor our soul in each moment, when we forget to be real, to be authentic, not according to moral standards as set out by some text, but to be completely ourself, as we are at that moment. It can be as simple as holding on to an old belief, or covering up emotions of fear, guilt, shame, self-hatred, unworthiness, anger, etc (if you are sure you have never suppressed any of these emotions and that you are emotionally clear, you are probably deceiving yourself, sorry to burst your bubble. You are human! It is allowed to feel! ) As a yoga teacher, i found it oh so flattering initially to carry the mantle of 'I'm so happy and serene', what i do is amazing and you should do it to, and you'll be as happy, strong, fit, etc, as me. This was all ego play, I took on the role of being in a certain way, and then began to impose it on myself, and just became an image of what i wanted people to believe was the truth. Man, was that bloody exhausting to keep up-!! I was very lucky to have a not so normal family, and that life circumstances literally brought me to my knees, i had to REALLY have an honest look at what was going on, and i was lucky a friend phoned me up and suggested i go to a Journey Intensive, of the work of Brandon Bays. My real transformation began there. Essentially based on, and practically employing the teachings of Ramana Maharshi, it brought me directly into the light of my own soul, and from that place there is no other way than what is congruent with your soul, it causes to much pain! Since working through and dwelling in the emotional body for a few years, as a result I'm now doing LightBody Work and exploring and developing channelled healing work, and I'm also developing a Yoga and Lightwork Healing Training Course, which is were my passion and joy is. Oh, and that doesn't mean that there isn't plenty more to be brought up for healing, on, yes, a weekly basis.
Only thing to do is to stay present in your centre, this is where the party is!!
What does it mean to be a yoga teacher?
I will answer this question with questions that if you ask yourself, may be useful in discerning how it serves you, or not, to be a 'yoga instructor'.
If you were financially independent, would you be working the way, the hours, the schedule that you are currently? Does working the way you are, with what you do, bring you JOY? If so, are there parts that are less joyful, that you would change if you could. that you are allowing to waste your energy? If you could choose to be and do absolutely anything, what would you do, or be? How do you FEEL in yourself, and how would you LIKE to feel and be with yourself when you are alone? Do you feel that you are dependent on the definition of being a yoga instructor as part of who you are? Do you feel free to just be yourself, (not some fake mask of concepts, righteousness, pretend peacefulness and fulfillment, or drama) at all times when you work? Do you feel that your work, your teaching, is truly coming from that place where heartbreaking love and truth has blown your heart wide open and you're not denying your light to shine for anyone?
Some teachers become great teachers, because that is what they are in their hearts, they are on their souls path. There are a lot of FAMOUS teachers that are that because it feeds their ego's. Everybody is in exactly the right time, the right place, doing the right thing, in order for their soul to grow. If you are suffering Yoga-instructor burn-out, (contradiction in terms if there ever was one, and also a reflection of how 'yoga' teaching had become reduced in public understanding to something that we can instruct others in, with a years training under our belt.) be grateful and open to the possibility that your soul is bringing something up for healing, the path you are on, the work you have chosen, the practice you have chosen, is bringing something that is no longer serving you, that is so hard to carry that you actually burn out, UP FOR HEALING-!! THIS IS YOUR CALL TO BE TRULY COMPASSIONATE, AND REAL, WITH YOUR SELF, TO STOP, TO LISTEN, TO LOOK HONESTLY, TO FEEL, TO ASK, TO SURRENDER, TO ALLOW CLEARING, TO DROP THE IDEAS OF WHO YOU ARE, TO BE COURAGEOUS, TO LET YOUR TRUE LIGHT SHINE OUT OF YOUR EYES AND HEART, TO ALLOW THE REAL YOU TO BE SEEN. THERE IS AN ENDLESS SUPPLY OF LIGHT, LOVE AND ENERGY IN THIS PLACE. ONCE YOU CONNECT TO THIS PLACE YOU CANNOT BURN OUt, BECAUSE THE INFINITE LIGHT OF YOUR OWN SOUL IS LIVING YOU. IT IS EFFORTLESS. THIS IS YOGA. IT IS A REAL LIFE FEELING EXPERIENCE OF YOUR TRUE NATURE, NOT AN IDEA, CONCEPT, OR APPLIED PHILOSOPHY. I pray that we may have complete support and assistance on all levels in our hearts desire for healing, connection, oneness and return to love. And so it is.
Veronica Larsson (BA(hons), MA) I am compassionate and intuitive teacher, practicing and teaches full time in Dublin for 10 years, and am doing general classes, one to one sessions, workshops, retreats, yoga teacher training, as well as energy balancing and channelled healing. I am registered with the Yoga Alliance, 500 hr E-RYT, having over 1700 hrs of training in various traditions including Iyengar and Astanga yoga, Vipassana and Sumarah Meditation. I have done Landmark Education Courses and i undertook the Practitioners Program of the Journey, the work of Brandon Bays, to be a an Accredited Journey Work Practitioner. Most recently i am attending LightBody classes with the School of the Living Light in England, which teaches the teachings of channelled beings Orin and Daben. The now inescapable path is of personal and spiritual growth and awakening. Coupled with my experience in the fields of health, healing and soul growth contributes to ensure each individual works to their own ability and level, and that healing can take place on many levels, both on and off the yoga mat! Truth, love and freedom is the prayer.
I am currently developing a training for teachers that acknowledges the presence, and works with a direct experience, of our soul light, and our heart truth. This training focusses on practicing and teaching yoga AND doing real healing work, as part of developing each individuals curiosity and passion for life. This is yoga training for the new consciousness, I'm very excited about it, it is literally being channelled day by day, and a lot of the course will be channelled and run by tuning into to soul needs for healing and awakening. All enquiries are welcome, as well as an invitation to run this course in the States-!!
Hi Veronica, im wondering if you could help, my name is robbie ive been trying to praticie yoga over the last 12 years, ive very little schooling, but managed to get a dipploma in y.t.t.c and studiedin india with Yogacharya v. Venkatesha. Im doing a bit of teaching at the moment, but like to get something to make sense of my journey, and my teachings of yoga. Kind regards. Robbie May.


"He was fearless, played with courage, looked like he was having a lot of fun out there," Texas Tech coach Chris Beard said.
After Texas Tech scored 11 in a row to get within a basket, Butler hit a 3-pointer with 4 1/2 minutes left before Tech's Jarrett Culver then had a short shot roll off the rim no good. Butler then drove for a layup that turned into a three-point play after he was fouled.
Butler has started the last three games, giving Baylor a three-guard lineup, since standout forward Tristan Clark's season-ending knee injury.
Francis was called for a flagrant foul with just under 2 minutes after officials looked at replay to review an intentional foul call. "I've coached that kid for three years, he's not a dirty player, he made a play on the ball," Beard said.

The C�loron Expedition to the Ohio Country, 1749
Code: G0606-H
The C�loron Expedition to the Ohio Country, 1749: The Reports of Pierre-Joseph C�leron and Father Bonnecamps. Edited by Andrew Gallup. Softcover, 1997, New, Notes, Biblio., Index, 100 pp.
Few Americans have heard of the 1749 French expedition into western Pennsylvania and southern Ohio, known as the C�leron Expedition. The limited interest in this trek has often centered on the lead plates that the French buried along the Allegheny and Ohio Rivers.
France was pressured to take action as English traders became dominant in the disputed Ohio territory. The French sent Captain PierreJoseph C�loron de Blainville with a large force to show the flag and compel the English traders to leave.
This book contains the reports of C�loron, the expedition�s commander, and the Jesuit priest, Father Bonnecamps. The two reports complement each other. C�loron wrote of how he dealt with the Native Americans and otherwise conducted his assignment. Bonnecamps detailed the flora, fauna and other aspects of natural science, as well as activities of the expedition. Taken togethez the two reports give an excellent snapshot of the Ohio country just prior to the final French and Indian War.
These journals, published over seventy-five years ago in The Ohio Archaeological and Historical Publications, Volume XXIX (1920), have not been readily accessible to the public. Additions to this new edition include an introduction, annotations, maps and an index of names, places and events. The maps show the locations of French forts in western Pennsylvania, and the routes C�loron followed from Montreal to Lake Chautauqua, and Lake Chautauqua to Pickawillany. Anyone interested in North American colonial history and/or Native American cultural history will appreciate the importance of this volume.
Andrew Gallup is the editor of Memoir of a French and Indian War Soldier, and co-author, with Donald Shaffer, of La Marine: The French Colonial Soldier in Canada, 1745-1761. He has a B.A. in history from Michigan State University and an M.A. in anthropology from the College of William and Mary in Virginia. G0606 ISBN 0-7884-0606-X

Rushville volunteer uses gifts to lead Diocese of Peoria's women's commission
By: Jennifer Willems - July 27, 2017 - Featured Article
Ellen Ehrgott, the new chair of the Bishop's Commission on Women in the Church and in Society, has been involved in just about every aspect of parish life at St. Rose in Rushville. (The Catholic Post/Jennifer Willems)
RUSHVILLE — Ellen Ehrgott's family calls her "the church lady," but she says it's not true.
It's hard not to agree with them.
A speech language pathologist working with students at two different schools, she is or has been involved in just about every aspect of parish life at St. Rose. That may slow down a bit, she said, but only because of her new role as chair of the Bishop's Commission on Women in the Church and in Society.
Ehrgott succeeded Deena Pavinato of Holy Family in Oglesby in May. Serving with her are Crystal Quick of Immaculate Conception in Manito, vice chairperson; Kimberly Lange of Blessed Sacrament in Morton, secretary; and Sunita Kottoor of St. Vincent de Paul in Peoria, treasurer.
"It's enlightening to meet women from all over the diocese," says Ellen Ehrgott, shown inside St. Rose Church in Rushville. (The Catholic Post/Jennifer Willems)
Father David Whiteside, pastor of St. Patrick in Havana, Immaculate Conception in Manito, and St. Mary in Lewistown, is the group's spiritual adviser.
The commission was established "to communicate a more profound understanding of the dignity and gifts of women in Catholic life and church teaching through prayer, study, and action rooted in sacred Scripture and tradition."
Not only does it act as an advisory group on women's issues to Bishop Daniel R. Jenky, CSC, but it also seeks to help women become holier and closer to God. One way this is done is by providing opportunities for prayer and fellowship.
Ehrgott, who has lived in the Rushville area for 23 years, understands the need for and benefit of that.
"Rushville is geographically distant from Peoria — you can feel disconnected," she said during an interview in the parish hall of St. Rose Church. "It's enlightening to meet women from all over the diocese."
What people tend to discover, she said, is that they're all the same.
INCLUSIVE, COLLABORATIVE
One thing they share is the need to develop spiritually and grow closer to God on the journey they take through life, Ehrgott said. At the beginning of her four years on the commission, that involved pilgrimages to holy sites in Spain and Portugal, as well as shrines in Chicago and Wisconsin.
"We had good attendance and met some wonderful people," she told The Catholic Post. "But for many women in the diocese, travel is not a part of their life right now."
To meet the needs of those women — married and single — who are not able to leave home for an extended period, the Bishop's Commission on Women also has offered half-day retreats at locations in central Illinois. For example, a retreat is being planned for Nov. 11 at Nazareth House in Henry.
Another opportunity for prayer sponsored by the commission is a Holy Hour for Priests that will take place at eight parishes around the diocese on Aug. 4, the Memorial of St. John Vianney.
Ehrgott said she learned about being inclusive and chipping in where needed as she was growing up in small towns and attending church with her parents in the Diocese of Springfield. Her mother and father were involved in teaching religious education classes and cleaning the church, among other things, and her brothers served at Mass.
She and her husband of 34 years, Matt, raised four boys of their own, so she took care of the cassocks for the altar servers, has been active in the Altar Society, orders supplies, helps with the bulletin now and then, cleans the church — you name it.
She credits the good role models she's had at St. Rose and said, "It really does take a village to keep a parish going."
Ehrgott is also an "active grandma" to her six grandchildren, taking them swimming, horseback riding, boating, and on trips to parks and fairs. "I work in education, so everything has a learning opportunity," she said.
And in their spare time, the Ehrgotts are renovating a house from the studs out.
She just smiles. She wouldn't have it any other way.

In "Beads on Lace", from Party Dresses Winter 2014 special issue, we shared Susan Crane's techniqes for enhancing lace with hand-applied adormants such as beads, gemstones and sequins. Garments made with embellished lace are one of a kind. Your handwork creates a fabric typically found only in couture fashions. Consider the following factors before you choose a design for your garment and start stitching.
If you have a particular lace fabric in mind or in your stash, take pattern cues from it. Does it have body? Or is it soft and fluid? Your lace's drape affects the garment fit.
Your lace garment can be underlined. Consider what to use and in what color; if it is a fitted garment that you desire, a China silk, crepe, or organza are good choices. Use netting to add strength if it is needed. Georgette or silk tulle is appropriate for a garment with drape.
A contemporary-looking lace might call for a design that is different than one for a traditional-looking lace. Motifs, cut out and repositioned, create a new embellishment design. The lace scale should also work with the design. A larger lace pattern calls for a bolder design; a smaller one needs a softer, more feminine motif.
Keep the focus on the lace and the embellishment. Look for patterns with few pieces; seams disrupt the lace pattern and the flow of embellish ment, so you want to keep them to a minimum.
Try not to cut through lace motifs; instead, cut and sew around them. This means that a seam meanders rather than goes straight. This is true for darts also. The pattern in the lace determines whether you design a garment with bust darts, although you can always cut out motifs and position them over darts to make the construction less conspicuous.
Examine the selvage of the lace. Some lace fabrics have beautiful selvages that you can use to trim the garment. If the lace has a border and you plan to use it, note the border's repeat and height. Make pattern adjustments to use the selvage elegantly.
An embellished lace garment takes a long time to create, so invest some time in making samples to establish the right color, design, and fit.
After choosing your lace and pattern, create a muslin version of your garment to check the design and to gauge the fit. Make any design changes, such as length, neckline shape, and the fullness of the garment, at this time. Address fitting issues at this point and make a new muslin if needed. Transfer fit adjustment to the pattern along with any design changes.
Do you have tips or tricks for working with lace? If so, share them in the comments section.

What Special to Know About Uboro?
The modern world offers a lot of effective solutions in any area; the same applies to car fleet management and tracking. Today, with the help of satellite systems, you can carry out full control of the car anywhere in the world. This type of the service is called GPS monitoring and is used by many modern companies related to motor transport activities.
GPS tracking systems allow you to fully control the movement of the car, thus, avoiding the possibility of using transport for non-working purposes. A GPS tracking app is a convenient system that will make it possible not only to keep track of moving vehicles but also to control fuel consumption, which is especially important when it comes to large-sized cars and construction machinery.
There are a lot of GPS solutions on the market; however, Uboro stands out from the crowd. The software is multifunctional, easy to use, and sets no restrictions on the customers.
Uboro allows you to accurately track the location of any number of vehicles.
The monitoring is carried out online, which makes it possible for you to adjust the route.
Satellite monitoring is provided in the package of services with satellite signaling.
In other words, Uboro will enable you to optimize the processes and to control the transport, which will significantly save you money.
The uniqueness of Uboro is associated with its multifunctionality. Due to the satellite signal, you can always control the transport. Such satellite-based security systems can significantly protect a car (especially large-sized trucks with loads) from abductions. A beneficial 90-day free trial period makes the offer even more unique. Thus, you have 3 months to test the services and make sure that the application is effective and easy to use.
The program can be used with any GPS tracking equipment since the developer has set absolutely no restrictions in this regard. On top of that, if the client does not have a tracker, he can simply download the simulator without the need to pay for it. In such a way, he can transform the cell phone into a tracker at no extra cost. It is easy to receive all the information about the movements of the car in a form of reports with statistics, analytics, and entrances zones immediately on a smartphone.
If one is searching for an instrument that poses no restrictions on customers and is an effective tool to collect information, Uboro is a smart choice. Intuitive interface, varied functions, and unique services are the main features of the Uboro software. The solution will show you that keeping track of cars is easy and convenient and that GPS monitoring and car control around the world have no limits at all.

Here are 16 things you must and mustn't do while writing a promotional email.
Open and click-through rates are often overhyped while other contributing elements were ignored.
Open rate is a volume of emails that are opened by the recipients. However, click through rate is a number of emails that the users have engaged by clicking the links within the email.
Hence, these are simple metrics that marketers attempt to improve.
Successful marketers will focus on engaging the right audience rather than targeting a boatful of mixed subscribers. Selective targeting can sometimes lead to high-quality leads but, fewer open rates and CTR.
The better value can be obtained by understanding how open rates and CTR could contribute towards better-attracting subscribers on a long term perspective. Don't let the immediate goals take priority while considering these metrics.
A recipient forages for the sender's information upon receiving the email. Hence, the "From" address plays a critical role in influencing the actions taken by the recipient. The subject line and other nitty gritty aspects rank below the "From" address.
If you are unpopular at the time of approaching prospects, craft an email with a straightforward subject line. It will ensure, the intent is communicated without necessitating users to delve into the details while deciding the relevancy of content.
The brand's growth is a greater concern while accomplishing milestones through email marketing.
We intuitively open the emails when they are sent across from the trusted source.
Here is a simple illustration of that logic. When recipients view their mailbox, they are more likely to skip every email unless they spot a familiar "From" address belonging to friends or family.
Similar psychology plays out when subscribers receive an email from marketers.
Better the reputation, better the engagement.
Giving your subscribers the hard sell will likely overwhelm them. Hence, approaching subscribers with caution is critical because many are instantly taken back upon sensing a salesy slant.
The volume of unsubscribes could shoot up when marketers attempt hard selling. It also raises the risks of complaints against the sender.
But, there is a harmless method to map your products and services to interested customers sparing the marketer from the hassle of complaints.
Turn the tide by promoting values bundled with the pitch to give subscribers a clear vision of the benefits they could enjoy. It could trigger a sense of curiosity.
The discounts are getting dated, and audiences seek refreshing exploits that would bring satisfaction in response to submitting the email address.
Have an interesting story to say? You can take concrete measures to ensure to keep the audience entertained. Choose a different approach against the outdated "How-To" information.
Keeping the audience amused pays well because nobody wants to engage in dull conversations with rehearsed sales pitch.
If you are a type of marketer who sends messages to the email list at a reduced frequency, it is a pragmatic approach to distribute "How to" content that will exclusively serve your target group.
However, if you intend to up the frequency of email distribution, simple tips and hacks won't suffice. Since they are abundant in the world of internet, it is imperative to provide something out of the ordinary. Something worthwhile, such as a "good story." Play around motivating substance to evoke the interest of audience through educative content. Having a quality story will give recipients a reason to open the message and skim through the content.
Stories are useful tools to market your inventories through a mix of content that educates, entertains and does much more to attract prospects.
mailbox isn't easy especially when they contain several other emails that are likely to be deleted or reported by users.
Nobody wants to be betrayed after signing up for email programs. Staying faithful to the terms that initially convinced the members to sign up matters the most because they will likely revert their decision should you exploit their confidence by sending repeated emails.
The situation is rather unchanging should the marketer encourage people to sign up and never to have sent any email.
Whether you overdo by increasing the sending frequency or by not sending at all, the subscribers do not anticipate emails.
The resolve is easy to achieve. Marketers must express to clients a clear picture of what they will receive by signing up.
Email distribution requires consistency because a well-crafted email could leave consumers wanting for more. If the demand cannot be met in planned timeframe, your audience could ebb away.
It's easy to get lost trying to perfect all aspects of an email. Emails must be crafted quickly to achieve quality results.
Sometimes, 10 minutes could seem exorbitant. Marketing Ninjas spend no longer than 5 minutes to craft a brilliant marketing email. However, most marketers tend to take up to 10 minutes for writing an email.
Email can be crafted with a touch of creativity without worrying about the syntax.
Consumers are less enthusiastic to know who you are or what products you sell. Stray subjects are strictly unappreciated and focus on providing content that are problem solvers rather than tips that consumers are not going benefit from.
The email content must solve the niche problems faced by the consumer.
Finding the right audience avoid misplaced emails and significantly reduces the risk of recipients reporting against the sender.
Never send emails to people who are uninterested in purchasing.
11. How are you getting the subscribers?
If you are applying a common strategy to acquire leads irrespective of the channel the progress could come to crawling speed. However, strategizing promotions and content best suited for each channel could increase the quality of leads you capture.
The content is a lead magnet if they are crafted with precision, not only will the leads feel satisfied with your inventories, but may also become patrons of your content.
Hone your content marketing skills to keep audience tethered to your brand.
Every seasoned email marketer knows the difficulty of turning subscribers into patrons with just emails. Cold leads can be converted to hot leads through email marketing, but marketers can multiply the success on social media.
Although emails have great prominence in people's lives, the entire buzz happens on social sphere.
The interactive features on social media's allow greater flexibility to interact with prospects present on social media and within your email list.
The text-based content has lesser potential to influence audience than interactive sources such as YouTube or Snapchat.
Use emails to shout out your presence, but turn social media into a mainstream engagement channel for bringing your subscribers a step closer.
First impressions matter the most. Make your audience consider before deleting the email by expressing your intent, identity, and the benefits offered for subscribing. It is much easier to turn a subscriber into patron when they are wholly aware of sender's intention.
Hone your email writing skills by writing regularly. Write as many as you can to improve every little detail that goes into the making of conversion quality email.
After gaining traction, you will be proficient in writing compelling subject lines for emails and stories that impact the mindset of readers. You may have to simultaneously enhance the story crafting skills along with the copywriting techniques. Improve your skills by updating knowledge through educative resources.
Hordes of marketers attempt copying tactics implemented by the established brands in the industry. But, they are unlikely to meet similar results, because the outcome varies from one brand to another.
Use of "we," "us" and technical jargon within the email will lead to growing distaste among readers because nobody wants to read texts that are bot made or written without empathetic tone.
There is no reason to feel stressed when audience unsubscribe. Perhaps it is better to set free the members who no longer wish to receive communication rather than forcing them to stay. Uninterested recipients who are not given a chance to unsubscribe could report spam and block you from sending future messages. Such measures can negatively affect the marketers sometimes forcing ISP to block all outbound emails.
Pay attention to your sending frequency and ensure not many emails are sent hastily when your audience isn't expecting.
The quality of the subscriber matters than the volume. Hence, if users do not wish to hear from you, go ahead and remove them from your mailing list. If you can consistently provide value through your emails, the subscribers are likely to stay committed for a longer duration. Your subscribers staying more than a few months is a healthy sign indicating your efforts are invested in right places.
Unsubscribes are not immediate signs of the threat to your marketing program. If they don't wish to receive communication, allow them to part away.
