Why I decided to create a yoga podcast
Creating a podcast allows you to speak and connect in a natural way. You don't have to worry about how you look on camera or if you have the right lighting. All you need to do is share your mind. I also find this method to be more intimate.
It provides my students with a way to listen to me in their cars, and on the run on free streaming services.
Creating a podcast can be intimidating. But in reality, it shouldn't be.
Believe it or not...It is not as hard as you think.
"The key is getting past the first recording."
For the last 3 years I have thought about creating a podcast, but each of the time I would let fear and self-doubt get in the way.
This year I decided to take the leap and go all in!
The set up was not so hard. All you need is a windows/mac computer/laptop, a Mic, Software to record, and Hosting site.
I have watched a ton of videos online to tell me how to start. The key is to start!
How to create a Yoga Podcast
Tips to help you set up a successful and smooth podcast:
Create an outline - Include your intro, talking points, and outro.
Pick a good Hosting software for you to share your podcast on iTunes, google play, Spotify, and more.
Pick a nice quiet space
Set up your recording software (Garage band for mac/ audacity for windows)
Start talking
Don't worry about making the perfect podcast. Releasing the first can be nerve-racking but overtime you will get better and use it. First, you have to give it a try.

Why I decided to go with BzzSprout
Bzzsprout provides a great user interface and made it easy and comfortable to upload a podcast.
They provide you with a website which is great if you don't have your own set up as yet.
Getting your content on to services such as iTunes, GooglePlay, Spotify and more has been a wonderful experience.
Plus they give you a free account with 2 hours of recording time to get you started (also comes with the website option).
Just keep in mind the recordings on the free account expire after 90 days, so I would recommend upgrading to one of their affordable plans. I just upgraded to the $12/mo plan to keep my recording and get 3 hours which is plenty for me.
