Questions teachers ask us

Yogaboomi is built by a small team of developers who saw firsthand how hard it is for independent yoga teachers to get discovered online. We are not a large corporate platform. We are early stage, which means you are one of the first teachers on here — and your profile gets more visibility as a result. Every teacher profile is manually reviewed before it goes live. We do not publish profiles that look incomplete or unprofessional, because that protects both teachers and students.

We are in early growth. We currently have teachers live across multiple cities in India, with more being onboarded every week. We are being transparent about this: the platform is new, and we are growing. Being early is actually an advantage — your profile is not buried under hundreds of others, and we are actively working to bring students to the platform. Teachers who join now will have a head start when the student volume increases.

Your profile is free. Always. No credit card. No trial period. No hidden charges. The core features — your profile page, enquiries, and verified reviews — will remain free. Advanced features will be introduced as optional paid add-ons. We will give early teachers fair notice well before anything changes.

No. Every enquiry goes directly to you. Every payment between you and your student is between you and your student. We do not sit in the middle, take a cut, or see your payments. That is not how this works.

No. Yogaboomi is a platform, not an agency. We help students find you — after that, everything is directly between you and them. You talk to your students directly, you set your own fees, you collect your own payments. We do not get involved in your classes, your schedule, or your pricing. Ever.

Your profile stays free. Always. The core features — your profile page, enquiries, and verified reviews — will remain free regardless of what we build next. If we introduce advanced features like WhatsApp notifications or analytics, those will be optional paid add-ons. We will give every teacher clear notice well before anything changes. No surprises.

That is a fair concern and we respect it. We are a small but committed team building this for the long term. If anything ever changes, we will give teachers maximum notice and help them transition. Since there is no payment involved right now, there is also no financial risk to joining. The worst case is you have a professional profile page for a while — which costs you nothing.

We do not require a specific certification to create a profile. However, we manually review every profile before it goes live. If you have certifications, add them — it builds trust with students. What matters most is that your profile is genuine, your experience is real, and your intentions are professional.

About 10 minutes if you have a photo ready. You fill in your name, bio, yoga styles, city, teaching mode, schedule, and fees. Everything saves automatically. You can pause and come back to it. Once you submit for review, we typically approve within 24 hours.

No. Yogaboomi replaces the need for a website entirely. You do not need to know anything about domains, hosting, or SEO. If you can fill a form and upload a photo from your phone, you are done.

After you register, you will get a welcome email with next steps. Complete your profile — add your photo, bio, teaching details, and location. Once you submit it for review, we check it manually and publish it, usually within 24 hours. After that, your profile is live on Google and students can start finding you.

Instagram is great for content, but it does not appear when someone searches "yoga teacher in Bangalore" on Google. It also has no verified reviews, no structured way to collect student details, and no enquiry system. Yogaboomi fills that gap. Most teachers use both — Instagram to build an audience, Yogaboomi to get found by people who are actively looking.

All three options are supported. You set your teaching mode on your profile — online, in-person, or both. Students can filter by this when looking for a teacher. If you teach online, you can reach students across India, not just your city.

Your profile page is structured with proper SEO so Google can index it. When a student searches for a yoga teacher in your city, your profile can appear in the results. You can also share your Yogaboomi link directly on Instagram, WhatsApp, or anywhere else — it looks far more professional than a plain Instagram link.

Honestly, we will not promise a number. Enquiry volume depends on your city, your profile quality, your reviews, and how actively you share your link. What we can say is this: a complete profile with a good photo and verified reviews will always outperform an incomplete one. The platform is early, so we are building student traffic actively. Teachers who are on here now will benefit as that grows.

Every teacher profile has an enquiry form. A student fills in their name, phone number, email, and what they are looking for. You get an email notification immediately. WhatsApp notifications are coming soon. You can then contact them directly — there is no middleman. You also have a student dashboard where all your enquiries and students are listed in one place.

Separate from the enquiry form, every teacher gets a shareable joining link for students who are ready to commit. When a student fills it, you get their full profile: name, age, health history, yoga background, and goals. You approve them as a student, and they appear in your student dashboard. No more collecting this information over WhatsApp.

Reviews build trust - they make students more likely to contact you once they find your profile. But reviews alone don't bring students to you. Enquiries come from Google search traffic, which takes time to build as your profile gets indexed. The best thing you can do right now: share your Yogaboomi link on Instagram, in your WhatsApp groups, and with anyone who asks about your classes. Teachers who actively share their link see enquiries much sooner than those who wait.

We don't send you leads or run ads on your behalf. Yogaboomi gives you a professional profile page that shows up on Google when students are already searching for a teacher in your city. The discovery happens through Google search - we give you the presence, Google does the rest. Teachers who see the best results have a complete profile, good reviews, and actively share their link. Think of it like this: we give you the shop front. Students who are already walking down that street can find you.

You share a review link with your existing students. They write their experience and verify their email before the review goes live. This means every review on your profile is from a real person — no fake reviews, no manipulation. Your star rating and review count appear on your profile and in Google search results.

Yes. A profile with no reviews is still far better than no profile at all. The moment your first student leaves a review, it shows up on Google with a star rating next to your name. Most teachers on the platform started with zero reviews. Start with what you have and build from there.

No. Your phone number is never shown publicly on your profile. Students contact you through the enquiry form, and you receive their details by email. You decide whether to call or message them back. You stay in control of when and how you share your contact information.

Yes. You can contact us at any time to pause or remove your profile. We will take it down within 24 hours, no questions asked.

Once your profile is approved and published, it is publicly visible on the internet — that is the point. Students, family, potential students, and anyone searching Google can see it. If you want to keep anything private (like your exact location or phone number), simply do not add it to your profile. We do not force you to fill every field.

You can browse teacher profiles on our website and filter by city. Each profile shows the teacher's style, experience, location, fees, and verified student reviews. Once you find someone you like, fill in the enquiry form on their profile and they will get back to you directly.

Every teacher profile is manually reviewed before it goes live. We check that profiles are complete, genuine, and professional. Verified teachers on the platform have also collected reviews from real students who confirmed their experience by email. We do not verify formal certifications at this stage, so we always recommend having a brief conversation with a teacher before committing to classes.

No. Sending an enquiry through Yogaboomi is completely free for students. Any fees you pay are directly to the teacher — Yogaboomi is not involved in payments between students and teachers.
