It’s safe to say that never in our lifetime has so much dramatic change happened in such a short time. In a few short weeks, everything we’ve come to take for granted has changed, and we are having to deal with new potential threats to our health, our financial status, the stability of the economy, and so much more.
In the yoga community, the change has been particularly dramatic as yoga studios were forced to close and individual yoga teachers ceased teaching.
Faced with the option to pivot or perish, the yoga community went for the pivot, and with gusto. In a few short weeks, a large percentage of the yoga community has taken their classes online.
Large studios were first on the scene with live streaming yoga classes, but individual teachers and smaller studios are getting online in droves as well – offering anything from live streaming classes to live, interactive options where students can stay connected with the teachers they know and love.
With the yoga community quickly rising to the challenge of this brave new world in which we find ourselves, the question is, is this just a short-term fad, or are we living through a lasting transformation of how yoga is being taught and practiced? In other words, will yoga ever be the same again?
And, if you are a yoga teacher, how can you stay on the forefront of the migration towards online yoga classes and how can you make sure you don’t get left behind?
How can you get online and reach your students without getting lost in the tech rabbit hole and spending hours and hours on customer service?
Join YogaUOnline-founder Eva Norlyk Smith, Ph.D., E-RYT-300, C-IAYT and yoga therapist Lynn Crimando, C-IAYT for this online course with the practical steps to start teaching yoga online.

Lynn will share her experiences from teaching live online classes to as many as 75 students with how to cue to make it work, and how to keep students engaged and safe.
