Class Planning: Workshops, Courses, and Series
Why Design Workshops or Series?
Oh, the joys of plotting structured pathways to yoga enlightenment—delightful, isn’t it? The very act of planning workshops or series bestows upon instructors and their oh-so-willing disciples a plethora of benefits. Creating a concentrated environment for learning magically transforms your students into RSVPing believers in the long haul. The regular attendance that follows can lead to an engagement crescendo. And, by the elusive powers of increased participant dedication, a little thing called ‘revenue boost’ may just stroll into your life.
Introduction
This artful guide crafts a cunning blueprint for unraveling the mysteries of planned yoga courses, delving progressively through interconnected workshops. Perhaps you plan classes interconnected by themes? Maybe philosophy, anatomy, those enchanting asana categories, or the whimsical world of pranayama tools? It’s far more intricate than swirling a single-class wand; it’s about executing a calculated dance of teaching brilliance over multiple sessions.
Teach What You Know
Do us all a favor and choose topics you’ve actually got down pat. Passion paired with proficiency—such a winning combo. The adaptable outlines on offer let you dissect these subjects like a sushi chef on Red Bull, covering sub-topics separately or merging them for an extravaganza of knowledge. Picture this: a debut class unfolds as an Introduction, splicing it with the next sub-topic for a deliciously deeper dive. Mull over concepts like the Yamas and Niyamas, possibly even weaving those into a ten-session saga, or stretch it to twelve or more by layering in foundational wisdom, like the Sutras or that Eight-Limbed Path.
Making it Happen
We undertake the Sisyphean task of simplifying the planning process, thus enabling you to extract those student commitments you so desire, alongside a happy side effect called ‘additional revenue.’ Here’s the chance for human beings—well, yoga instructors, anyway—to concentrate on areas rich in value and effectively disperse their wisdom to the world.
Getting Started
Commence by conjuring a title and pinpointing a focus for your series. No planned workshops? No fear—persuasively sell the virtues of upcoming classes to lure student pledges. Plot location and dates like you’re strategizing an epic heist. Deploy your personal promotion networks and consider co-promotional endeavors with studios, allies, or accomplices to widen your sphere of influence.
Taking Reservations & Payments
Traditionally, when one thought of yoga studios, visions of task-heavy student registrations and payments naturally followed. Albeit still a fan-favorite, instructors increasingly opt to take matters into their own virtual hands. Enter modern-day registration tools, like Schedulicity, designed specifically for yoga impresarios, begging to simplify your life. We heartily encourage tool exploration, colleague consultation, and sharing untapped wisdom with yours truly.
Student Handouts
Lo and behold, student handouts tastefully designed to augment each series topic materially and morally enhance your offerings. Acting as a guiding beacon for workshop cycles or silver-lined class supplements, they can be yours for a mere $12 each. Credit them with the ability to sway student consciousness. Sample views and a cornucopia of materials await discovery at our Store, promising to imbue your teaching with superior resources.
Satisfy your curiosity, let each bullet point symbolize a stand-alone Student Handout, showcasing their chameleon-like adaptability to match your own idiosyncratic teaching style.
