How to Build Trust with your Audience Before your Launch: Soulful Strategy for Yoga Teachers

If you've ever felt like you need a massive email list or a fancy funnel to launch your first Yoga Business Offer- Pause right here- This weeks Yoga Soul Biz Blog is for YOU!

Before you launch your next yoga offer I first want you to take a moment to —pause, Breathe, and consider this Yogi- What your students need isn't more tech. It's TRUST, 

Whether you have 10,000 followers or 10 subscribers, the most important piece isn’t your tech or even your offer. It’s trust. In this weeks Blog , let's take a deep dive into why it's so important to create that feeling for your dream students way ahead of your actual Launch Day. And why we now have to train our audience to  engage respond and purchase.

Building trust with your audience is a sacred step in your yoga business journey. It’s what turns followers into students— students into soul-aligned clients, and clients into Loyal  Life-Long Learners who love everything you do.

 Why Trust Comes Before the Transaction

You don’t launch to your audience,You launch with them, for them, and your offer has to provide real transformation. When you first start this online journey it's natural to  want to put something, anything out right away. The problem is we create what we think they need, not what they actually need.Imagine just starting your healing journey, hopping on to Instagram to try to find help, and BOOM- Instant Overload. Not only are we not meant to experience everything all at once, our nervous systems can not handle it, and we have training to do just that. Heck, the daily input of information is overwhelming for me, and I've been doing this for a while.

The biggest mistake yoga teachers make is rushing to offer something before building emotional and energetic connection.

This isn’t just marketing fluff—it’s science.

 The Neuroscience of Trust: What the Brain Needs Before It Buys

• Oxytocin (the bonding hormone) rises when your audience feels emotionally safe and seen.
• The Familiarity Principle tells us we’re wired to say yes to what feels familiar.
• Mirror neurons mean your energetic alignment trains your audience how to respond.

If you’re inconsistent or unclear, your dream students won’t know how to connect—or commit. And they will not want to! I want to help you keep from making the mistakes I did , and show you how providing  consistent value that meets your people where they are will not only grow your email list ,but  your impact, and revenue.

What Experts Say About Launching Without a Big List:

As an online entrepreneur and Yoga Biz CEO I know how important it is to do your research and follow only 1 to 3 people who are doing what you want to do to model behavior and  create success,  google and CHAT GPT  are only as good as the information you enter ( more about this later). It is also why I created this Blog to share what I find, and who I find that works. These 3 amazing Souls are absolutely sharing the most value & teaching from their hearts: 

1. Amy Porterfield- “Start building the relationship way before you ever ask for the sale.” If you haven't listened to her podcast interview this week- do yourself a favor and tune in.She shares stories of students launching to tiny lists— who earned $18K with just 557 subscribers and no ads. Her Pre-launch communication on socials and to her email list was dramatically extended and created amazing results.
2. Jenna Kutcher- “I’d rather have 100 people obsessed with what I do than 10,000 who aren’t.” Jenna emphasizes email lists convert 6x better than social media, and creating connections as well as diversifying where you share your information is a game changer for longterm  online success. 
3. Brett Larkin-  My friend, mentor, and fearless female also shares my take on the latest research for 2025 online marketing game- “If you want people to buy from you, they have to trust you first—through content, clarity, and consistency.” She teaches that pre-selling with soul creates students who are already ready to invest. Everything we teach, train, and  coach at Uplifted Yoga, and Kundalini University are about creating deeper and meaningful content that your dream students want and need. Brett is always emphasizing  asking and surveying your current students before you create the whole thing. I'm positive if you have been in her certification courses you've heard staying consistent t creates Know, Like and Trust.

What If You Have No List? Great news- This Soul Strategy Still Works- it’s also the exact one I will teach you when we work together in Yoga Biz Breakthrough Academy

Step 1: Nurture Before You Launch

• Create a 30-day runway to warm up your audience.
• Give free value through Reels, masterclasses, blogs, or downloads. Give them so much value they think- Man,” I should be paying for this!”
• Share stories that speak to the transformation they desire, create conversations around how you healed yourself with this exact method, and show them videos and photos of you doing it, plus of you just being YOU.

Step 2: Train Them to Engage- Yes you have to actually train your dream students

• Add simple CTAs like: “Comment YES,” “Click below,” “Reply to this email.”
• Train your audience to take small actions that build trust and behavior patterns.
• They have to not only trust you, but understand how to take the next step with you.

Step 3: Combine Masculine Strategy with Feminine Flow

• Masculine energy = content plan, clear funnel, follow-through. 
• Feminine energy = soul alignment, intuition, energy checks, inspired action.
  Balanced energy leads to authentic engagement and easeful conversions.
• Create your Daily Sacred Success Ritual that  raises your vibration and confidence to show up - Visibility is for sure a “VIBE”- you get to create
  

    

  Creating FLOW. for your yoga business doesn't mean you wont get scared, feel challenged, or have to use structure , it does mean  you can do it without the hustle when you are READY
