Teach yoga but dread posting on Instagram? Here's how to get found as a yoga teacher with one link to share, and what to put behind it.
Here's the awkward part. Someone says, "My friend told me about your class. Where do I find you?" And you send an Instagram handle, a booking page, a payment link and a half-finished website. Four links for one hello.
People who are ready to sign up don't want a tour. They want one place that answers three questions: who are you, are you taking students, and what do I do next.
Think of your link as a front door, not a feed
Social media is a feed. It asks you to show up every day. A front door only has to be there when someone knocks.
Most of your students will arrive because somebody said your name. A neighbor, a coworker, a friend from another class. Your job isn't to chase strangers. It's to make your name easy to pass on, and easy to land on.
Set up your one link in an afternoon
Write one sentence about who you teach. Not "I offer yoga." Something like "Gentle evening classes for people who sit all day." A friend should be able to repeat it.
Make your Studio Site. It puts your name, what you teach, whether you're taking students and one way to start in one place. SoloBase makes one in about a minute, at a free yourname.solobase.me address.
Add your classes or sessions to your Service Hub. Each one gets a name, a starting price and a few questions for the student to answer.
Set your status. A line like "taking new students" tells a visitor the door is open. If you are full, say that instead.
Share the link in three places. Your email signature, a QR code on a printed flyer at the studio where you teach, and one text to a few people who already like your classes.
Ask three people to pass it on
Here's the move, and it takes about ten minutes. Pick three people who've taken your class and enjoyed it. Send each one your link with a single sentence about who you'd love to teach next.
You're not asking for a favor. You're giving them something easy to forward. Nobody wants to explain you from memory, so hand them the words.
Then watch what happens over the next two weeks. If one forward turns into one inquiry, you've got a way to get found that doesn't need a daily post. Treat it as something to try, not something that's guaranteed.
Copy this
Hey [name], I'm taking a few new students this fall: gentle evening classes for people who sit all day. If you know someone who'd like that, here's my link: [your link]. It has my schedule and a way to ask me a question. No pressure at all, and thank you for being in my class.
Your next step
Make your Studio Site and share it from the Share your site screen, where you can copy your link, a QR code and an email signature. Start your studio
