Are you planning your online yoga business for 2026 and wondering where your focus should be so your efforts actually move your business forward? If you’ve felt pulled in different directions this year or unsure what truly matters, this video will help you create a clearer, more grounded strategy for the year ahead.

In this video, I walk you through the three pillars that give your business structure, direction, and stability. These are the foundations I use in my own business and the same ones I teach inside my programs, because they help yoga teachers make better decisions and grow in a steady, sustainable way.

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of the three online business models I believe will matter most for yoga teachers in 2026. The industry has shifted, students are engaging differently, and many teachers are wanting something more stable and spacious than teaching endless weekly classes.

If you’ve been thinking about how to bring your work online in a way that feels grounded and sustainable, this episode will give you a clear understanding of your options — and which model fits the season you’re in.

All three models I’m sharing today come directly from years of testing them myself, and from seeing them work in real life for my clients and students. They each support your teaching in a different way and can work beautifully alongside your in-person offerings.

You’ll Learn:

• how to choose the model that fits your audience size and your capacity
• the strengths and limitations of each business model
• why clarity and simplicity are more important than having many offers
• how to build long-term stability in your online yoga business
• what actually works now, not just what worked years ago

I recently asked ChatGPT what the best strategy is for yoga teachers to grow their online business — and honestly, its answer surprised me.

In this video, I’m breaking down what ChatGPT said, what I agree with, and what I think really matters right now if you want to grow your yoga business sustainably. We’ll talk about offers, pricing, content, trust, and how to make business decisions that actually feel right.

If you’ve been wondering what’s still working in 2025 and 2026, or how to build your yoga business in a more focused, grounded way, this episode is for you.

I was talking to ChatGPT recently about what it would look like to start an online business from zero today - no audience, no email list, no content, nothing - and it reminded me how differently I’d approach things now compared to what most people are still teaching.

A few years ago, the common advice was always the same: post on Instagram, create a freebie, grow your list, and slowly build an audience before you even think about selling anything.

It took time, but back then, it still sort of worked. You could post consistently and new people would actually see it.

But that’s just not how things work anymore.

Organic reach has dropped, there’s more noise than ever, and I see so many incredible yoga teachers putting in hours of effort without seeing momentum. Not because they’re doing something wrong, but because the approach itself is outdated.

If I were starting completely from zero in 2026, I wouldn’t spend months trying to build an audience before creating something to sell. I’d flip the order entirely and get clear on the transformation first, create a simple offer earlier, and let everything else grow from there.

That’s exactly what I walk you through in this episode.

➡️ Why clarity on your transformation matters more than choosing a yoga “niche”

➡️ Why I’d create something to sell much sooner (even with a tiny audience)

➡️ What a simple sales system looks like when you’re not constantly launching

When I first started teaching yoga, I realized pretty quickly that the traditional studio model just doesn’t add up. You teach more, you hustle harder, but your bank account stays the same — or even goes backwards. Maybe you’ve felt that too?

Here’s the truth: it’s not because you’re failing. It’s because the model itself is flawed. Healing and nurturing professions have always been undervalued, and yoga carries the extra weight of the belief that it should be free. Add on low studio pay, income tied to hours, and constant rushing — and it’s no wonder most teachers feel stuck.

But there is another way. In this episode, I’m sharing why the current yoga teaching model is broken and what you can do instead — by embracing entrepreneurship and creating a business that supports you as much as you support your students.

What you’ll learn:
✨ Why the studio model was never designed to give teachers financial stability
✨ The cultural and historical reasons yoga teachers are underpaid
✨ Why embracing entrepreneurship doesn’t take away from your teaching — it protects it
✨ Real examples of yoga teachers who created memberships, programs, and offers that changed everything

If you’ve been struggling to make a living teaching yoga, please know: it’s not because you’re not good enough. It’s because the system itself is broken. And once you see yourself not just as a teacher but as an entrepreneur, things can shift in a beautiful way.

When you think of launching, you might picture endless webinars, a huge team, and weeks of exhausting promotion. But it doesn’t have to look like that.

In this episode, I’m joined by Brittany Roberts, a launch strategist from Australia who helps coaches and course creators create launches that feel simple, creative, and aligned. Brittany shares how she uses Instagram as the central hub for her launches — including an innovative experiment running a full training series through Instagram Close Friends stories that sold out her program.

We talk about:

• Why launches don’t have to be big or complicated to be effective
• How to use Instagram’s features — Stories, Lives, Close Friends, and Broadcast Channels — to nurture and sell
• Creative ways to experiment with your launches without burning out
• How to handle the quiet middle phase of a launch (and why showing up then really matters)
• The importance of consistency and planning so you don’t run out of steam

If you’ve ever wished launching could feel lighter and more doable — this conversation will show you how Instagram can become your best launch tool.

So many purpose-driven entrepreneurs fall into the trap of creating one low-priced offer after another, hoping that if enough people buy, it will finally add up to a sustainable business.

On paper, it makes sense. In reality, it usually leads to burnout for you and little real transformation for your clients.

In this episode, I share why premium offers are the foundation of a sustainable, freedom-based business, and why they also create deeper results for the people you serve.

Here’s what you’ll hear inside today’s conversation:

• Why low-ticket offers often don’t deliver the transformation your clients are craving
• The role of energy exchange and why commitment rises with investment
• My own story of shifting from $197 offers to $1,000+ programs and how that changed everything in my business
• What a premium offer really is (and why it’s not just about slapping on a higher price tag)
• How low-ticket offers do still fit in your business — but only as a bridge to your deeper work
• Simple questions to ask yourself if you’re ready to create your own premium offer

If you’ve been pouring your energy into small offers that don’t feel sustainable, this episode will give you a new perspective — and hopefully, the permission you’ve been waiting for to think bigger about the transformation you can hold your clients through.
