Can students see the instructor clearly during poses?

Yes. The Conference room provides a large video view of the instructor. You can also screen share pose reference images or flow sequences for extra clarity.

Do students need to download anything?

No. Flat.social runs entirely in the browser. Students click your link and join the studio. Works on laptops, tablets, and phones.

Can I run different class levels in the same studio?

Yes. Create separate rooms within your flat for beginner, intermediate, and advanced classes. Each room has its own schedule and billboards with level-appropriate content.

Is the studio open between classes?

Yes. The flat persists 24/7. Students can drop in for self-guided practice, review pose guides on billboards, or hang out in the lounge anytime.

Can I offer private one-on-one sessions?

Yes. Use audio isolation zones or a private room within your flat for individual instruction. The spatial layout means private sessions stay private even in a shared studio.

Virtual Yoga Class

Guided flows, spatial cues, and the shared energy that makes practice feel real

By Flat Team·March 27, 2026

A virtual yoga class on a standard video call feels flat. You follow along to a tiny rectangle on your screen, struggling to see the instructor's alignment cues. There's no warmth before class, no chatting with the person on the mat next to you. When savasana ends, everyone clicks "Leave" and disappears.

Flat.social turns your yoga class into a place people actually want to be. Students arrive early and chat near the entrance using spatial audio. When class begins, everyone gathers in the conference room where the instructor shares their screen or camera for clear pose demonstrations. After the flow, students walk to a lounge zone for tea and conversation, just like they would in a physical studio.

The room stays open between classes. Students drop in to practice on their own, review pose guides posted on billboards, or simply sit in the meditation zone. Your virtual yoga studio becomes a living community, not just a scheduled event.

Guided Flow in Conference Mode

The instructor's camera fills the screen during class. Students follow along with clear alignment cues while spatial audio keeps the teacher's voice natural and present.

What is a virtual yoga class?

A virtual yoga class is an online guided yoga session where an instructor leads students through poses and flows using video. The best virtual yoga classes combine clear visual demonstrations with a sense of shared presence that motivates practice.

Why Teach Yoga on Flat.social

Studio Layout

Build a space that mirrors a real studio. A conference room for guided class, a lounge for pre-class mingling, and a quiet corner for meditation. The layout guides the experience.

Clear Demonstrations

Screen share pose sequences, reference images, or flow charts on the big screen. Students see exactly what they need during class without squinting at a thumbnail.

Pre-Class Connection

Students arrive and chat naturally with spatial audio. The five minutes before class builds the community that keeps people coming back.

Post-Flow Lounge

After savasana, students walk to a social zone. Small groups form for conversation. "How did that hip opener feel?" The class extends beyond the mat.

Pose Library

Pin pose guides and alignment tips on billboards. Students browse between classes. The room becomes a resource, not just a meeting link.

Pre-Class Warmth

Students gather and greet each other before class starts. Spatial audio makes conversation feel natural, just like arriving at a studio.

How to Set Up a Virtual Yoga Class

1
Create your studio
Set up a flat with a Conference room for the main class, an Open Spatial lounge for socializing, and a quiet meditation corner. Place billboards with your schedule and class descriptions.
2
Prepare your teaching setup
Position your camera so students can see your full body. Test screen sharing if you plan to display pose sequences or flow diagrams during class.
3
Welcome students
Share your flat link. Students click and enter the lounge where they chat before class. No downloads, no accounts required for guests. A welcome billboard explains the space.
4
Teach the class
Move everyone to the conference room. Lead your flow with camera on and spatial audio. Share your screen for pose references when needed. Students follow along from their mats at home.
5
Wind down together
After savasana, invite students to the lounge. Small groups form naturally. This social time builds the bonds that turn one-time students into regulars.

Tips for Yoga Instructors

Making your virtual class feel as good as in-person:

1. Set up your camera at mat level. Students need to see your full body for alignment. A side angle works best for standing poses. Switch to a front angle for seated work if you can.

2. Use billboards as visual anchors. Post the class sequence, Sanskrit names, or modification options on billboards in the conference room. Students glance at them during transitions instead of asking you to repeat.

3. Arrive 10 minutes early. Walk around the lounge and greet students by name. This small gesture creates loyalty. People return to classes where they feel seen.

4. Keep verbal cues detailed. Students may look away from the screen during poses. Your voice carries the class. "Right foot forward, knee over ankle, arms overhead" works better than "like this."

5. End with community time. Don't rush to close the room after savasana. The 10 minutes of post-class conversation in the lounge is where friendships form and your community grows.

Tips for Yoga Students

Getting the most from your online practice:

Arrive a few minutes early. Walk into the lounge and say hello. The transition from your day into the yoga space matters. It sets your intention before the first downward dog.

Position your screen where you can see it from your mat. A laptop on a chair at the edge of your mat works well. You want to glance at the instructor without craning your neck.

Keep your camera on if you're comfortable. The instructor can offer alignment cues when they see you. Other students feel the shared energy of a group practicing together.

Stick around after class. Walk to the lounge and join a conversation. You might discover that the person you've been practicing next to for weeks shares your love of creative workshops or morning routines.
