The State of Yoga Classes in a Pandemic World

Yoga isn’t just a way to workout. For many, yoga is part of a lifestyle. And if there’s anything we’ve learned over the past year, it’s that as life gets more difficult, it becomes harder and harder to find our inner zen. That statement may ring especially true for yoga studios and yoga instructors. The pandemic has forced studios to stay closed and left instructors without a place to share their craft. TrovaPage empathizes with what you are going through and we feel that we are obligated to help each and every one of you through this time, via our platform.

While there are only five principles of yoga, after the year we’ve had we really think there should be a sixth: Persistence. Yogis all over the world have been persistent with their practice, transitioning their traditional in-person instruction to online yoga classes in order to continue bringing their methods to the masses. Online yoga classes allow for flexibility (pun intended) with schedules, allowing more people to give yoga a try. Plus, demand for yoga classes has increased substantially since entering the pandemic period; Google searches for online yoga classes and online yoga instructors have grown exponentially in the U.S. over the past several months. It makes sense, as many people are dealing with higher stress levels, increased anxiety, and focusing more on their mental health overall. Yoga emphasizes relaxation, mediation, and positive thinking, all of which can help address these difficulties.

Sure, there may be a lot of perks of teaching yoga online, but there are also a lot of steps to getting your yoga studio or yoga classes up and running online. You have to buy a domain, host your domain, build a website (and most likely find a developer to do so), set up steaming or upload class videos, get a pay wall setup, establish a way to accept payment, and so much more. It’s a lengthy and somewhat challenging process, and it’s keeping instructors and studio owners alike from doing what they love best — teaching yoga.

At TrovaPage, we make it as easy as possible to get all of those tasks completed simply by using our platform. We understand the challenges you are facing and want to help you become an online yoga instructor within minutes. Whether you want to teach live online yoga classes, on-demand classes, or even more specific classes to fit individual needs, like pregnancy yoga, we want to see you succeed.

Signing up to become a seller on TrovaPage is pretty straightforward. From there, you’ll set up your profile, get your services squared away, set up your bank account so you can get paid, and you are ready to go!
