Teaching yoga online is simpler than it sounds. It takes: you, your energy, a booking or video platform, decent audio and a bit of space.
Audio matters more than video. Make sure your WI-FI is stable (pause downloads and ask your roommate to stop streaming while you teach). Use headphones - they remove echo instantly and massively improve sound quality. You can use the mic built into your headset, or a simple clip-on mic. Double-check in your computer's audio settings that the correct microphone is selected.
Set up your space. You could place your mat at a slight angle (90°) to your camera, about 3-4 meters away, so students can see your full body. Natural light is a bonus.
In short: headphones, an external or headset mic, stable WI-FI - you're about 98% ready to start teaching yoga online. We'll worry about the remaining 2% after your first 30 bookings. You don't need fancy gear, a perfect room or big audience - key is to start and improve on the go. :-)
After creating your account, you will receive an email with next steps: creating a first simple session, and completing your profile. You do that at your own pace. After creating a session and hitting 'publish' you can directly share it with others, it's visible on FlowAway pages, and you can receive bookings. You can host more yoga sessions, as many as you wish - you can create one-off events and retreats, or recurring sessions. You can sell products, too, from your profile page. In one of our onboarding emails we'll offer to schedule a short and simple audio check, in another we'll introduce our marketing support.
If you chose to use our video room set-up for your online sessions, the first thing is that we'll schedule a quick test call, to go through your audio and tech set-up together. After that's done, video links will be auto-generated for your sessions. Two hours before a session starts, room links are being sent automatically via email to participants and yourself. The video platform we work with is Jitsi - it's designed for small and large group sessions. The video works in any browser, but significantly better in Chrome. Your participants don't need to download anything. As part of your onboarding, you will receive some more tips on how to host great online yoga sessions.
Yes!
Yes, absolutely. We do share some tips on finding your pricing - but you decide.
Nope. We are working on an app, but everything will always run from your browser, too.
Ideally, yes, you bring some interested souls. More importantly though - bring some ideas of whom you'd like to teach to! FlowAway is designed to empower you to run your yoga business. You will run it - but you're not alone.
So, don't expect us to bring a bunch of customers from day 1. BUT: FlowAway profile pages are designed to be visible out there, and to make it as easy as possible for people to actually book. We will also invite you to take part in marketing activations and campaigns. :-)
Participants can cancel via a link in their confirmation emails. You, the teachers, set the rules here. Our basic recommendation is to allow students to cancel free until 4 hours before a session starts. FlowAway manages the refund or issues a voucher in that case. For last minute cancellations, our recommendation is to charge a cancellation fee. You can edit these rules in your admin space.
Yes, but with caveats. You can use FlowAway to run your own sessions, while the in-studio sessions are managed by your studio. That's actually a good idea, because FlowAway is such an easy-to-manage tool.
You can also include the sessions you teach at studios to your FlowAway profile. That makes sense - people can see all you offer - at once. If someone clicks on such a session, they'll land on your studios' booking page.
The caveat: there is no connection (yet) in between FlowAway and other booking platforms. We can't sync bookings with Momence, Eversports and so on. This is something we want to work on, though.
Yes. If you've got a website, you can actually link to it from your FlowAway profile page (and vice versa).
And that's recommended for your own marketing - it validates your website in the eyes of algorithms.
No, not directly. FlowAway profile pages are designed in a way they're easily scannable by the human eye - AND by algorithms. So - your profile has high chances to eventually show up on Google. But that takes time - a few months at least - and depends on how complete your profile is, as well as on the niche you picked.
We would bet that it's easier to rank high on Google - the more platforms such as FlowAway you use. We can have a call and chat through your case if you are interested.
FlowAway provides personal marketing support, fair and easy fees, has got automated online video set-up included. Also, our mission is to build tech for humans. Not to exploit, but to make the world a tiny bit better, lighter, fuller of good yoga.
