For Instructors:

  1. Register: Sign up for a free profile, upload photos, and add any other information you'd like to share.
  2. Notification Settings: In your dashboard settings, choose to receive notifications via email or SMS (text).
  3. Start Application: In your profile dashboard, click "Start Application" and complete the required fields.
  4. Approval: Wait for 24-48 hours for your application to be reviewed and approved.
  5. Payment Setup: Once approved, follow the instructions to set up your payment portal to manage payments. Payouts are automatically processed every Tuesday for all completed classes. 
  6. Choose a Location: Pick a park for your first class or suggest a new one if it's not listed by clicking the "Suggest Park" button. A “New Class” button will appear on every park listing only after an instructor account is approved. 
  7. Facebook Integration (optional): To automatically post your classes to Facebook, go to the "Facebook" tab in your dashboard and click "Authorize Facebook."
  8. Promote Your Classes: YAP will advertise your classes to, but as we are in our early stages, we encourage you to self-promote on other platforms to increase visibility and reach more potential participants. As YAP grows, you'll have the opportunity to grow with us and benefit from our expanding network.

For Yogis looking to take a yoga class: 

  1. Register: Sign up for a free profile, upload photos, and add any other information you'd like to share.
  2. Notification Preferences: In your dashboard, find the settings tab and choose to receive class and message notifications via SMS and or email. 
  3. Find a Class: Use the search bar on the homepage to explore different classes, instructors, parks, and cities. If you allow the site to access your approximate location, it will display the classes nearest to you.
  4. Class Sign Up: Once you find a class you'd like to attend, click "Sign Up" to go to the checkout page.
  5. Class Confirmation: You'll receive a notification in your profile and an email confirmation for your next class. Enjoy your yoga experience and remember to give a rating for your instructor :)
