Gimme that

The online yoga space has come a long way since I started my business helping yoga teachers build their online presence in 2016. Back then, just putting your yoga offerings online made you stand out. The pandemic in 2020 pushed everyone online practically overnight, and the market exploded. Now, in 2025, the landscape has completely transformed into a more mature, sophisticated market.

Let me share the strategies I see actually working now for yoga teachers and wellness entrepreneurs who want to build profitable online businesses.

Finding Your Micro Niche

When you’re teaching locally, your location is your niche. Being the yoga teacher in your neighborhood, or even the only prenatal yoga teacher in your city, naturally sets you apart. Your physical presence and local community connections create natural boundaries and opportunities.

But the online space? That’s where everything changes. I see many teachers struggle with this transition because they’re looking at established yoga brands who’ve been building their online presence for 5-15 years. These teachers now offer everything from vinyasa to meditation to teacher training, and yes, they can succeed with a broader approach because they’ve built their authority over years.

I want to address something that might be coming up for you right now – that fear of niching down. I hear it all the time: “But I don’t want to limit myself. I have so much to offer. What if I get bored teaching just one thing?”

Think of it as your entry point, your fastest path to building momentum online. Your niche will evolve as you grow, as your audience grows, as you discover new passions and opportunities. Every successful yoga business I know looks different today than when it started.

I’m seeing so much potential for practical, focused niches right now, for example:

  • Yoga for runners focusing on injury prevention and performance
  • Yoga for desk workers with chronic back pain
  • Restorative yoga for people recovering from burnout
  • Yoga for strength athletes looking to improve mobility

When you speak directly to a specific audience, you become magnetic to them. Your content resonates more deeply. Your offers convert better. Your impact grows stronger.

And if you want to learn from me how to create your aligned offer suite, from low-ticket offers to high-ticket programs, with my support, you should join us inside the Blissful Biz Academy where we guide you through it all!

Mini Offers That Convert

Once you’ve identified your micro-niche, it’s time to think about your offers. Here’s where many get stuck – they start by creating massive flagship programs. This is what I used to teach because I saw such huge success from focusing on just one high-ticket program back in 2021, 2022.

But in 2025, trying to sell high-ticket programs to a cold audience has become nearly impossible. People are more jaded, more busy, and it takes longer to gain trust.

This is why I now recommend starting with what I call an “ignition offer” – a low-ticket product that solves one specific problem for your specific niche. When someone makes even a small purchase, something shifts. They become more committed, more engaged, more likely to implement what they learn.

For example, I have:

  • A low-ticket offer, Low-Ticket Mojo, where I teach you how to create your own low-ticket offer
  • An order bump that’s email templates for your upsell email sequence
  • An upsell that’s a live Facebook ads workshop
  • My signature program, Blissful Biz Academy

Think of it as a relationship. Free content is like following someone on social media. A low-ticket offer is like a first date – a chance to experience real connection without massive commitment. Your premium offers are for the students who know they want to go deeper with you.

The Power of Long-Form Content

I’m seeing a significant shift in how successful businesses approach content creation. Social media has its place – it’s great for visibility and connection. But here’s the reality: you’re building on rented land. One algorithm change, one platform shift, and your reach can disappear overnight.

I actually never focused on social media alone in my business. I started my blog in 2016 and my podcast in 2020 and have been creating long-form content every week since then.

If you focus on social media for content creation, I would invite you to repurpose your content. Post it again 3 months from now. If it worked once, re-use it. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel every week, and be super original all the time.

But even better, when you create a 3-minute reel, download it, edit it and upload it to Youtube, and write a blog post where you embed that video. And voila, now you have a piece of content that can get discovered year after year after year.

This is what I’m teaching you inside my program FLOW, how to create long-form content that sells your offers on autopilot. Click here to learn more about FLOW.

AI as Your Business Assistant

Remember when everyone started using ChatGPT to write their social media posts? Suddenly, every yoga teacher’s Instagram feed started sounding exactly the same. These perfectly polished, oddly similar captions that read like they were written by the same person – because they were.

Here’s what we learned: people can spot AI-generated content from a mile away. And they don’t like it. They don’t want to read generic, AI-crafted captions about “finding your inner peace” or “embracing your authentic self.” They want to hear your real voice, your actual thoughts, your genuine experiences.

Instead of letting AI be the voice of your business, I now use it as a behind-the-scenes assistant and sometimes as a brainstorming buddy. I use AI to:

  • Help me analyze data, like survey results
  • Brainstorm ideas for new offers
  • Structure content outlines
  • Repurpose content across platforms
  • Handle operational tasks

The trick with AI is finding the right balance – using AI to handle the operational heavy lifting while keeping your content, teaching, and community engagement deeply human and personal.

Building Your Future Online

We’re past the days of just posting random classes online and hoping students will come. In 2025, we’re building profitable, sustainable online businesses that make sense – both for us and our students.

When you put all of this together – finding that specific group of students who really need what you offer, creating programs that start small and guide people toward deeper work, making content that works for you long-term instead of chasing social media, and using AI to help with the boring stuff while keeping your teaching real and personal – you can build something that lasts.

I’d love to hear what clicked for you today – what ideas sparked something? What questions do you have? Drop me a message and let me know.
