The Internet is a creative tool that has made life easy or complicated. It is
now easier to pay bills, link with friends and family members, purchase
products and even learn the course of your choice. Yoga teachers, on the
other hand, have found much relief through sending information online. First of all, teachers can reach as many students as possible and send them the latest newsletter to stay in touch. When it comes to Yoga teacher education, the
main factor to consider is the manner of how you intend to absorb all of the new information within your field.
It is
annoying to jump into numerous websites that have limited information on what
exactly you need. In this case, finding a well-organized web site that is
related to yoga topics such as the recent studies and student safety could be
handy to any visitor. An ideal site should have content that gives teachers
tips and useful information. Instructors use the Internet for continuing
education and pass on the lessons to educate their own students.
Video
Channels
There are
many choices from YouTube to paid subscriptions. It really depends on what you
are looking for, because there are many different styles. If you are looking
for variety, Aura Wellness Center has lectures for teachers and a series of 3D
"How to Practice Yoga at Home" Vinyasa videos that you can use for
warm-ps, salutations, and flows.
Reaching
out to Students On the Internet
Teachers
have never been able to reach so many students before thanks to the Internet.
Maybe you want to reach a larger audience, share your knowledge, or write a
manual to help students. Some teachers use the Internet to advertise their
annual retreat. What ever your reason, here are some other ideas to help you
educate others, and learn new skills in the process.
Make Use of
Podcasts
Ideally, as
much as the podcasts will require more tools, they are the best option since
they deal with the spoken voice. You can be creative enough to post the podcast
on blogs or websites. The only secret is to make it downloadable on any MP3
player or PC. With this setup, it is possible to run interviews and provide
many presentations. Podcasts are exciting as anyone can listen to them anywhere
and it's less dense than an average blog.
How Much
Time Do You Really Have?
Website
creation is not for everyone, but a blog or a social media presence gives you
good reach for minimal effort. The creation of content and maintenance of a
website needs extra time. The inclusion of photos and diagrams also need to be
done on a regular basis since your online visitors will expect new information
on a daily basis.
Bringing
yoga lessons online is very rewarding, as more students will be reached in an
interactive and efficient manner, but maybe you would be better to develop a
Facebook page. There are also some online groups specifically about yoga
training that could be beneficial to your students as they will share and learn
from various sources and other experiences.
Embrace
Social Media Networks
The
Internet works better through networking. Yoga teachers should, therefore, come
up with a Facebook page and create a community that will amass many students
and yoga lovers to like and join them. Other useful resources could be short
tutorials on YouTube, Google Groups, Pinterest, among others. Marketing
yourself online as a yoga teacher has many benefits as it increases your
student enrollment and makes you better as you will keep on learning while you
engage with different people online and respond to their comments. Facebook and
AdWords also have paid local advertising options, if you want to build a local
presence.
Gravitate
to Your Niche
Yoga
teachers are specialized in different areas, and it is better to be focused in
the area where you are familiar. For instance, if you are a vinyasa yoga
instructor, then it's ideal to specialize for the yoga that is meant for
fitness oriented students. The yoga studios as well should as well be inclined
on a certain niche to bring ultimate results.
