440: How To Teach Yoga Online

Welcome back to week two of our podcast comeback! In this episode, we're diving deep into something you've been asking about for ages: how to teach yoga online. We're taking you behind the scenes of how we create our MerryBody online classes. Mic issues, sister fights on set, and all the real talk about what it takes to film Yoga and Pilates classes!

This is what we spoke about during the episode

• We looked back on our very first online class recordings in 2018 and reflected on how far we’ve come since then, both in confidence and production quality.
• Feeling comfortable, confident and connected with your videographer makes such a big difference when you're filming online classes.
• We follow the one-take rule and approach filming like we're teaching in person, which keeps everything authentic and seamless even when we fumble, miscount or say left when we mean right.
• Our filming setup includes five cameras, professional lighting and lots of natural light because it creates the most beautiful look for our classes.
• Our monthly themes guide everything we create, from class titles to the actual movements we choose.
• We broke down our full production workflow from start to finish.
• We're brainstorming the idea of creating something to help other yoga and Pilates teachers build their online offerings, so let us know if that's something you'd be interested in.
