Course Description
If you have been a Yoga Teacher for awhile, you know that relying solely on our Yoga teaching income can be limiting. Seriously… how many classes do you want to teach every week to bring in an income that you would like or need?
Enter the Online Yoga World. The world of video, the world of YouTube and the world of getting your special Yoga out into the world! There is no limit to where you can share your Yoga… as long as you are willing and ready.
In this Workshop, I will go over the basics of creating a video to share your Yoga classes… or really share anything you feel like sharing via video.  I am a Yoga Teacher and not a high-techy gadget person so when I decided to share my Yoga classes on video, I had to learn from scratch. This Workshop will take you through my learning process where I share some of the basics and gotchas of working with video. Think of this as a Video 101 class for us who tend to be more right-brained than left-brained!
After this workshop you’ll understand:
- How to design your Yoga set to be pleasing to the eye
- How lighting works, both inside and outside
- Camera positioning and framing
- Video formats and file sizes – What is the difference between music and video files
- Video resolution – Why you might shoot in HD or 4K, or in a lower resolution
- What kinds of cameras work well for shooting what kinds of video
- Sound – how to get great sound if you are far away from your camera
- Uploading and sharing your videos
- YouTube and Video Streaming – options to share your work
- And lots more!
