Back to Episodes69. Applying the Service Mindset to Social Media (Minimalist Instagram for Yoga Teachers)
Description
Instagram can feel like a second job-especially when you became a yoga teacher to teach, not to perform online.
In this episode, I share a simple reframe that takes the pressure down fast: your job on social media is not to entertain the algorithm. Your job is to help the right students find the next step into yoga with you.
I walk through three struggles I hear from yoga teachers all the time: hating social media and feeling guilty, spending lots of time on Instagram without seeing fuller classes, and feeling confused about what Instagram is even for if you teach locally.
You'll leave with a clear, minimalist way to treat Instagram like a calm little "foyer"-a reassuring business card for the nervous beginner who has already heard your name.
