Favorite Equipment for Yoga Teachers
(my tops picks)
No matter what type of yoga you're teaching and offering in your business (Zoom classes, in-person classes, recorded videos for online classes/courses, recorded meditations, etc.) it can be hard to know what type of equipment you need...
When I began my yoga teaching journey, it was smack in the middle of the pandemic in 2020 - so my only option was to teach yoga online, or socially distanced classes outdoors. As a result, I tried and tested LOTS of different equipment for online yoga and outdoor classes.
Since then, I found my niche teaching chair yoga to seniors (who tend to be a hard-of-hearing demographic). This required finding a good mic/speaker to use during in-person classes.
I also had the opportunity to develop a Chair Yoga Course for Living Soul Institute, which helped continue to grow my library of recording equipment.
So to save you time, money, and the hassle of experimenting, I've compiled a list of my favorite equipment for yoga teachers below! These items are my top picks from personal experience - factoring cost, quality, and durability into the equation. Having the right equipment is such a worthwhile investment for your yoga business! From one yoga teacher to another, I know this tech will serve you well!

Favorite Camera for Recording Yoga Videos:
Nikon Z 30
Great For: Recording high quality video (and photos) for your online yoga videos, courses, etc.

The preview screen can be flipped around like a "selfie mode," so you can easily ensure you're always in frame when setting up your recording space
It's compatible with my recommended recording mic below (the Rode Wireless GO II), but also has good audio quality on its own
It comes with a wide-angle zoom lens - great for recording in small spaces
It's an easy to use, point-and-shoot camera
Compared to other professional cameras on the market, this one is very affordable

Favorite Mic/Speaker for In-Person Yoga Classes:

It's wireless, and easy to wear while teaching
It's also a Bluetooth speaker, so you can connect it to your phone to play music, and amplify your voice over the music using the mic
