How do I teach live yoga classes by streaming?
Teaching live yoga by streaming is simpler than it looks: you need a solid connection, framing that shows the whole mat, clean audio, and a platform with a stable video room that already controls paid access. The secret to a good online class isn’t cutting-edge tech — it’s clear cueing, because you can’t adjust a student’s posture with your hands.
Technical setup for a good stream
Framing: the camera must show your whole body on the mat. Use a tripod and test from a distance.
Audio: a lapel or headset mic. Students tolerate a mediocre image but abandon a class with bad audio.
Connection: prefer wired. Run an upload test — 10 Mbps already ensures a smooth stream.
How to lead an online group
Narrate everything: since you can’t touch the student, describe each movement with a clear voice and calm pace.
Give visual references ("knee over ankle"). Look at the camera as if it were the student.
Build in interaction — call people by name, ask how they’re feeling. Presence drives retention.

What’s the best tool to stream a live yoga class?
A platform with an integrated video room that already controls who paid to join. That way you’re not juggling a Zoom link and payment separately.
How many students can I teach live at once?
In a group, 10 to 25 students keeps cueing quality. Beyond that you lose individualization. For large groups, lean on complementary recorded content.

Yes, and it’s highly recommended. The recording becomes a content library that keeps generating revenue and helps acquisition through SEO.
