All The Tools You Need To Become a Successful Online Yoga Teacher 

Tried and True Gear 

 

Whether you're already teaching yoga online or are considering starting, here's a list of tried-and-true gear to do it right – from my favorite wireless lavalier microphone, camera and lights, to my chosen platforms for yoga courses and membership site.

I experiment with what works and what doesn’t and report back here with tools to help you create a profitable online yoga career you absolutely love.

Some of these links are affiliate links, which means I may get a commission if you purchase. However, I only recommend resources I truly believe are worth my stamp of approval, and the fees are never increased to compensate me.

You’ll see all the special deals below. 

Rode Wireless Go II

Best lavalier microphone for online yoga teachers

$171.58 USD

While this lavalier mic is considered prosumer rather than professional level, it still gets my highest recommendation after comparing it with more professional options. Read my full comparison review of Rode Wireless Go II vs a professional $1,000+ Sennheiser G4 Wireless Lavalier Setup.

Neewer Video Light Kit

Best Lights for Teaching Yoga Online

$164.79 USD

These are the lights I use and love. They can be dimmed or brightened and you can adjust the color from warm to cool, or anywhere in between. They also pack up pretty small into a nice bag (included) for storage or traveling.

Cameras

Yoga teachers who are teaching online and recording videos have three options, depending on how and what you're teaching:

  1. Teaching yoga on Zoom (Logitech Brio Webcam)
  2. Recording full length yoga videos (Sony HD Handycam) 
  3. Doing both with a higher quality professional camera (Panasonic Lumix G95D) 

These cameras were reviewed based on specific features required by yoga teachers:

  • The ability to record videos longer than 30 minutes
  • Wide-angle lens for full-body framing in smaller spaces
  • Autofocus for self-recording
  • Self-facing monitor 

Logitech Brio 4K Webcam

Great for teaching yoga on Zoom and livestreaming yoga classes

$128.30 USD

For simply teaching yoga on Zoom, this webcam is the best choice available. It plugs right the computer's USB port. It has great autofocus and a wide-angle lens so that you can frame yourself nicely even in a small room. The automatic lighting adjustment is incredible, especially in low light situations – however,  a lighting kit is still highly recommended for the best quality.

Sony HD Handycam HDRCX405

Best Digital Camcorder For Recording Yoga Videos 

$228.00 USD

This camera is a great place to start if you want to record yourself teaching yoga videos in HD. It boasts a self-facing viewer, great autofocus, and extended recording time. Whereas most cameras cut videos off at 29 or 30 minutes, this one allows unlimited video recording, which means you can record full-length yoga class videos that are 60 minutes or even more. Please note, it does *not* have the ability to connect to live-streaming software or Zoom, and it cannot be used as a webcam. The battery capacity in video mode is 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Most importantly is the recording time. Where most other mirrorless cameras cut videos off at 29 or 30 minutes, this one allows unlimited video recording so you can record full-length yoga class videos that are 60 minutes or even more. It integrates well with live-streaming software and also acts as a webcam for Zoom.
