A website can help people find you and understand your teaching. It does not need to become the project that delays your first class. Start with the information a prospective student needs to make a confident decision.

Answer the practical questions first

  • Where and when do you teach?
  • Who is the class suitable for?
  • What should someone bring?
  • What does it cost, and how do they book?
  • How can they contact you with a question?

Add a short biography and accurate qualifications. Plain descriptions are more useful than elaborate effects, especially on a phone. A clear timetable matters more than the number of pages.

Keep booking responsibilities clear

For your own classes, a student needs your booking link and policies. For a class you teach on a studio timetable, booking belongs to the studio. Your page should make that distinction obvious rather than sending a student into the wrong checkout.

Use a live timetable instead of duplicating dates

Sangha provides a teacher page at sangha.fit/t/your-handle once your approved account is set up and the public page is enabled. The timetable follows your diary. You can add your branding, biography and the public sections you use. Card payments require a connected account that is ready to accept charges.

A health questionnaire or waiver can be part of that process, but a form does not create insurance cover. Check your insurer’s conditions and your own professional responsibilities.

If you already have a website

Keep the website that represents your work. Add a timetable widget or link directly to the relevant booking page. Test the journey on a phone: dates and prices should be readable, the booking destination should be clear and students should understand any sign-in or health-information steps.

Share one reliable link

Use the same public page in your social profile, email signature and messages. Before sharing widely, try a real booking journey and check the confirmation. Ask students to check spam or promotions if the first email does not appear.

Your page can grow later. First, make it easy to find the class, understand it and take the next step.
