yoga.org DNA

Every teacher. Every studio.

Practice here. Find a class. Claim your listing.

A public home for yoga.

This is the DNA behind yoga.org: why it exists, what we believe, and how those beliefs become product decisions.

When a student finds a teacher, both people light up.

NeedWhen someone finds a class, relief arrives.The search ends. The room is real.

GiftWhen a teacher or studio is found, the work they already do can reach the next person.Someone realizing: this is my room.

The practice is offered one direction. The value moves both ways.

Mission

Keep yoga free to find and free to practice. Help every teacher, studio, school, and wellness business be found.

yoga.org is a public home for practice (Move · Breathe · Sit), a library, and a directory. Listing is free. Claim is ownership of your page, not a credential.

Our North Star

Help people complete a practice, and help them find a real teacher or studio.

We count practice sessions and listings that actually help someone find a class. We never score a person’s worth, rank their generosity, or sell a better soul.

Paid visibility is labeled Sponsored. It never changes the order of regular results relative to one another.

Invisible teaching becomes findable.

The world we’re entering

More people can practice than can find a teacher they trust. Much of the teaching is still invisible.

This is the world. Below is what we build in it.

What yoga.org builds

A free practice home. A free directory. A claim so the listing belongs to the person or the room.

Above this line is what we build. Below it is what we are testing.

What we are testing

When teachers and studios can be found, more people practice, more rooms fill, and teaching stays human.

Listing is free. Paid visibility is named.
