What to put in your link in bio as a yoga teacher

A student watches your Reel of a slow hip-opening flow at 9pm, decides she wants to try a class, and taps your bio link. She wants one answer: when can I come, and how do I book? If she finds a wall of eleven buttons, she closes the app and tells herself she will look tomorrow. Tomorrow rarely comes.

Yoga teachers have an unusual mix to fit into one link. You might teach weekly classes at two studios, run a monthly workshop, sell a teacher training place, and host one retreat a year. Each has a different booking tool and a different kind of student. This post covers what to put first, what to group, and what to leave off.

What should the first button do?

Make the first button the thing a new student most needs: how to book your next class. For most teachers that is a schedule or booking page, and it belongs above everything else.

Where that page lives depends on how you teach. Studio teachers usually send people to the studio's own schedule, often on a booking system such as Mindbody. Independent teachers may run their own classes through a tool like Momence or a simple sign-up form. Either way, link straight to the page where a student picks a class, not to the studio's homepage.

If you teach at more than one place, label the buttons by where the student will be standing, such as "Tuesday and Thursday evenings, Eastside Yoga". Students think about location and time before they think about studio names.

How do you handle workshops and retreats?

Give each big offer its own button only while it is open for booking, and take it down when it sells out or passes. A workshop that happened in March still sitting on your page in June tells new students you are not paying attention.

Events with a date and a ticket often sit on a ticketing tool like Eventbrite, which suits one-off workshops better than weekly classes. For a retreat or teacher training, a longer description beats a bare link. Put the dates, the place and the price in the button label or in a short text block above it, so students know whether it is for them before they tap.

A good rule: one featured offer at the top below the booking button, and everything else tucked underneath.

What else belongs on a yoga teacher's page?

Keep these in a short second group:

• A way to ask a question. Many new students are nervous about their first class and want to ask about injuries, pregnancy or experience level. A contact form or your email address lowers the barrier.
• Private sessions. If you teach one-to-one, one button with a clear description is enough.
• A playlist or recordings. Students love asking what you played in class. A Spotify embed answers that and gives people a reason to come back.
• Your newsletter. If you send class updates, a sign-up form lets you reach students without depending on Instagram showing your posts.

On Linky, the Form block collects names and email addresses, and you can export submissions as a CSV for your email tool. The Spotify embed puts your playlist on the page.

What should you leave off?

Cut anything that does not help a student decide to come to a class. That usually means:

• Old workshop and retreat links
• Your whole social media set, when the student is already on social media
• Links to every studio where you have ever subbed
• A generic "About me" page that repeats your bio

How many links is enough? There is no magic number, but a teacher with a booking link, one featured event, a contact option and a playlist has done the job. The Linky learn page on how many links to keep in your link in bio goes further on this.

A worked example

Say you are a vinyasa teacher with two weekly classes at a local studio, a quarterly workshop and a yearly retreat. This is an invented example, not a real teacher.

Your page, top to bottom:

1. A short header: your name, one line on your style ("Vinyasa for people who sit all day"), and your photo
2. Book a class, linking to the studio's schedule filtered to your name
3. Autumn backbend workshop, 16 November, with the price in the label, linking to the ticket page
4. Ask me anything, a form for first-timers
5. Class playlist, a Spotify embed
6. Retreat interest list, a form, because the retreat is ten months away and not yet bookable

The retreat is a good small trick. When something is not open yet, collect interest instead of linking to a dead page. Students who sign up become your first buyers when it opens.

How often should you change the page?

Treat it as part of teaching admin. When your timetable changes, the page changes the same day. When a workshop opens, add it. When it passes, remove it. A monthly check is enough if you do not teach on a changing schedule, and it takes five minutes.

The personal trainer post and the coach post cover similar ground if you also run one-to-one work. If you hand out flyers at your studio, turning your link into a QR code means students can scan it on the way out.

Set it up this week

Open your bio link and ask whether a stranger could book a class in two taps. If not, move the booking button to the top and delete everything that has expired. You can build a page like this on Linky in an evening, and the free plan covers a header plus five blocks. Start at lin.ky.
