As you can gather, bringing your teaching online makes yoga more accessible, positions you to meet people where they are, and enables you to serve those who aren’t currently being served by the traditional studio. A virtual studio delivers the convenience of yoga anytime, anywhere to your students in a way that a brick-and-mortar studio simply can’t. You can offer a variety of class durations, skill levels, styles and themes to work within your niche and reach people internationally. You can literally bring your teachings to homes in the farthest corners of the world. Your reach becomes limitless with online teaching.

When building out your virtual studio, you have a ton of room for flexibility, creativity, freedom and earning potential. Depending on how you’d like to build it out, people can purchase classes a la carte, as packages or as a monthly membership. It’s truly teaching on your terms. You teach where you want, when you want and how you want to. You choose your own pricing structure and you generate profit for yourself instead of someone else’s business. Like the limitless reach of a virtual studio, the amount you can earn is unlimited and entirely up to you.

Another advantage to bringing your teachings online, is that you can easily incorporate your other passions and modalities. Say you also have a background in nutrition and want to help folks live healthier, happier lives. In addition to yoga classes that could be focused on weight loss and detoxing, you can offer self-acceptance meditations and weekly juice or meal recipes. It’s an amazing way to help people holistically and have a greater impact through your own comprehensive programs.

Once you have your studio built out with some basic offerings, the magic starts to happen. Without any limitations on your hours of operation, your online studio is open and working for you 24/7, and you don’t even have to be there. In a Yoga Journal article by Sage Rountree, Sadie Nardini shared this insight about teaching online, “For the same energy expenditure it takes me to teach one class, people can experience it again and again, in wildly different times and places. It’s a dream come true to be able to show up for all of them without compromising the quality of my energy or my teachings” (www.yogajournal.com/article/teach/lights-camera-yoga).

It must be said, however, that even with the vast opportunities a virtual studio affords, you have to be ok with spending a fair amount of time at your computer. You’ll need to edit your videos, update your website, grow your following with social media, blog, and be an active member in your niche’s online community. There’s no getting around it, a virtual studio requires computer time and some technical skills, but don’t worry, the technical stuff can easily be learned with a friend’s help, YouTube tutorials, and patience. If the thought of working at a computer sounds daunting, think about this: with an online business, your office can be anywhere and your working hours can be any time of the day.
