This brief walks through every section of the live Premium template, what each section is designed for, what we need you to send, and what good looks like — with examples drawn from live partners.

Goal: the relationship, not the sale.

A Premium listing on YogaPros is not a sales channel. The partners that compound here treat it as something different — the doorway to a relationship.

The win condition is simple. A YogaPros member opts in to your owned channel — your mailing list, your app, your account, your community — through an offer she could not refuse. From that moment forward, the relationship is yours. You are no longer dependent on YogaPros for it. You are dependent on the value you continue to deliver.

Everything in the Premium template — every section, every slot, every offer — points at this single conversion: get her onto your owned channel through an offer that feels like a gift, not a sale. Build for the relationship. The sales follow.

01.

The generous gift.

Offer something so specific, so genuinely useful, so generous that opting in feels like the obvious move. A free guide. A signed chapter. A diagnostic. A 14-day trial of the full thing. A masterclass. A workbook. The test: would she share it with another teacher who hadn't seen the listing? If yes, ship it. If no, it's not generous enough.

02.

Three slots, three steps.

The Premium template gives you three product slots. The partners that win use them as a progression — entry, first paid step, full relationship. Most partners optimise slots two and three without thinking about slot one. Slot one is the entire game.

03.

People buy emotions, not products.

She is not buying scheduling software. She is buying the calm of a Sunday morning where she isn't reconciling five subscriptions before her first class. She is not buying a reference book. She is buying the confidence to teach a roomful of women in midlife without improvising. Write through the version of her life your product makes possible — never the specs.

Slot 01 · The doorway The free, irresistible thing. Free guide · free chapter · free diagnostic · free trial. Lets her experience you without spending a penny. Optimised for opt-in to your mailing list — not click-through to a paywall.
Slot 02 · The first paid step The smallest, easiest yes. Single product · intro pack · low-commitment subscription tier · introductory course. For the member who took the doorway and is ready for one paid step.
Slot 03 · The deeper relationship The full offering. The studio platform · the full course · the comprehensive product · the premium membership. For the member already converted and now ready for the whole thing.

The ten sections of a Premium listing.

Every Premium page is built to the same chassis. Sections cannot be skipped — each one earns its place by serving the teacher reading the page. Send everything below and your listing publishes complete on first pass.

Section 01 — Brand identity

Logo, name, category, hero image.

The strip a member sees first. Its job is recognition: who you are, what category you sit in, what your brand looks like at a glance.

What we need
  • Logo · transparent PNG or SVG · minimum 1200 × 400 px · works on a paper-cream backgroundIf you have a wordmark and a mark, send both. We'll use the wordmark in the header.
  • Brand name · final spelling, casing, and any italic / accent treatment you want preservedExample: OfferingTree, Classfit, Liforme. We honour your brand spelling.
  • Category line · we'll suggest one, you confirme.g. "Studio & Business · Scheduling Platform" or "Books, Media & Learning · Reference"
  • Hero image · landscape, 16:6.5 ratio, minimum 2400 × 975 px · JPG, PNG, or WebPA single dominant image that represents the product or brand. Avoid text overlays — we'll add the editorial frame.
Live example · Classfit

Studio & Business · Scheduling Platform · the wide hero shows two students in a Pilates studio at the brand's actual hero crop.

Section 02 — Hero text

The headline and the lede.

The editorial frame. The thing that makes a teacher stop scrolling and read on. Written through the teacher's outcome, not your feature list.

What we need
  • Working headline · 8 to 14 words · can be aspirational, not literalYogaPros editorial may rewrite for register, with your sign-off. Example: "Members book in your studio's app — not someone else's."
  • Lede paragraph · 2 to 3 sentences · 35 to 55 wordsDescribes the product through the teacher's outcome. Includes one credibility signal (rating, customer count, certification, etc).
  • Tone preferences · short note on what your brand sounds likee.g. "warm but technical" or "British understatement". We'll match.
Live example · Triple Goddess Yoga

"The first clinical reference for menopause-literate teaching."

Lede A 212-page guide by Sue Yen Wan — yoga educator since 1998 — mapping the 36 menopause symptoms to specific yogic, mindfulness, and lifestyle responses. Recognised by YogaPros for CPD.
Headline 8 words Lede 38 words See it live
Section 03 — Signals strip

Three facts. One auto signal. Member offer.

A four-cell masthead under the hero image that reads in a single glance — the factual case for taking your listing seriously.

What we need
  • Three facts — your call, but they should be specific and verifiableExamples: Rating 4.8★ · Replaces Acuity · Mindbody · Calendly · Format 212pp · Hardcover · Customers 2,000+ · Founded 1981 · UK · Certification B Corp · 2022
  • Recommends — you don't supply thisAuto-populated. Live recommend count from YogaPros members, growing as members tap recommend on your page. Becomes input to the Trending feature.
  • Member offer status — Active or In discussionSet by YogaPros once your offer is finalised.

Section 04 — § 01 · The teacher's reality

The problem your product solves, in her voice.

The first editorial section. Frames the pain point before introducing the product. Builds trust by demonstrating that we understand the teacher's working life.

What we need
  • Problem statement · 2 paragraphs · 80 to 140 words totalWritten in the teacher's voice, not yours. Describe the friction, the cost, the dashboard fatigue, the gap in training, the scaling pain — whatever your product addresses.
  • Section heading · 8 to 14 wordsA statement, not a feature claim. Example: "Half her students are in or near menopause. Her training barely mentioned it."
  • Tone test · would she nod reading this in a quiet studio at 7am?If yes, ship it. If no, rewrite.
Live example · OfferingTree § 01

"Five subscriptions, one teaching practice — and they don't talk to each other."

Most teachers running their own classes hold the studio business together with a stack: Squarespace for the website, Acuity for booking, Stripe for payments, Mailchimp for the newsletter, Teachable for online courses…
Length 124 words Frame the teacher's stack See it live
Section 05 — § 02 · What members get

The product itself. Concretely.

The second editorial section. Introduces the product as the answer to the problem framed in § 01. Includes the "Replaces / Pairs with" strip and the three product slots — your value ladder. Slot 01 should be the free doorway wherever possible — a lead magnet that opts the member onto your mailing list. See the Partner Success Formula above for why.

What we need
  • Section heading · 8 to 14 wordsNames the thing your product does — concretely. Example: "The booking surface, the mobile app, the payment page — all yours."
  • Body paragraph · 1 paragraph · 60 to 100 wordsWhat's in the product, who it's for, one credibility signal woven in. Avoid feature lists in bullet form here — that comes in the three product slots below.
  • Replaces / Pairs with strip · 1 line"Replaces Acuity · Mindbody · Calendly" or "Pairs with Bareface Yoga CPD L1 + L2". One frame, one comparison.
  • Three product slots · use as a ladder · image + 2-3 word title + 1-line description eachSlot 01 = free doorway (lead magnet · opt-in to your list). Slot 02 = first paid step. Slot 03 = full offering. Each image: square, 1024 × 1024 minimum. Each title: 2-3 words. Each description: 8-14 words.
Live example · Classfit three slots
Studio dashboard Class scheduling, packages, memberships, waivers, payments — one panel. Branded mobile app Your studio, your name, on the App Store. Members book in your app, not someone else's. White-label end-to-end Calendar embed on your website, branded app, member-facing payment pages — all yours.
Three slots, three real product screenshots See it live
Section 06 — Maker quote

A real teacher saying a real thing.

The pull-quote that breaks up the editorial body. Anchors the product in a third party's voice rather than yours. Or — for book / author partners — the author's own line.

What we need
  • One real customer quote · 15 to 30 words · attributedMust be a real testimonial, not invented or composite. We will verify with the named individual before publishing.
  • Attribution · full name + business or studioExample: "Erica Hoese, She Is Fierce" or "Sue Yen Wan, author".
  • Photo · headshot or business mark · square, 600 × 600 minimumIf you don't have one yet, send your brand mark. The slot is designed to work either way.
Live example · Classfit · maker quote

"ClassFit has been amazing for my business. I love the pricing and the best part is if I have a question, I get a real response in a short amount of time."

Attribution Erica Hoese · She Is Fierce See it live
Section 07 — § 03 · Foresight

Why this matters at the hundred-step horizon.

The closing editorial section. Names why YogaPros approved your listing as Premium, and why a teacher choosing you is choosing the long-term move, not the short-term fix.

What we need
  • Section heading · 8 to 14 words · sets the frame for years, not quartersExample: "The studios that own their booking surface own their members." or "Menopause-literate teaching is about to become the baseline, not the specialism."
  • Body paragraphs · 2 paragraphs · 100 to 160 wordsWhy the trend is real. Why your approach compounds where the alternative does not. Closes with the YogaPros approval rationale (we draft this line — you confirm).
Live example · Triple Goddess Yoga § 03

"Menopause-literate teaching is about to become the baseline, not the specialism."

Female yoga students aged 40–65 are now the largest, most loyal segment in the profession — and the segment with the loudest gap between what they need and what most teachers were trained to deliver…
Length 142 words See it live
Section 08 — Member offer card

The reason the listing converts.

The persistent right-hand sidebar. Holds the offer headline, the perk stack, the member code, and the primary CTA. The single highest-converting block on the page.

What we need
  • Offer headline · 4 to 8 wordsPlain English, not marketing flourish. Example: "30 days free · then capped at $120/month." or "20% off · author-signed hardcover."
  • Perks · 3 to 5 lines · written as outcomesEach perk in the format Bold lead + supporting clause. Example: 30-day free trial · no credit card required.
  • Member code · 4-6 character suffix · we prefix with "YP — "Example: YP — CLAS26, YP — TRIP26. We choose if you have no preference.
  • Primary CTA URL · where the member lands when they clickShould be a member-eligible signup, product page, or homepage with the offer auto-applied via URL parameter where possible.
  • Secondary CTA · usually "Book a Zoom demo" or "Read sample chapter"Optional. If included, supply the URL.
Live example · Classfit offer card

30 days free · then capped at $120/month.

★ 30-day free trial · no credit card required ★ 2% of revenue · $45 floor · $120 ceiling — pricing never runs away ★ Branded mobile app on App Store + Google Play under the studio's own name ★ Migration support for studios moving off Mindbody, Acuity, or Calendly ★ No contracts · pause or leave any time

Section 10 — Brand voice & final review

Pricing detail, claims, sign-off.

The last items we need before publishing. Cleared facts, cleared claims, signed-off preview. This is what stops the listing reading like advertising and starts it reading like editorial.

What we need
  • Pricing · plain numbers · current as of the month of publicationNo "starting from" or "as low as" — give us the real price tiers, currency, and what's included at each.
  • Verifiable claims · for any rating, customer count, award, or certificationSend the source URL. We link or footnote where useful. We will not publish unverifiable numbers.
  • Brand-voice notes · how you sound · what you avoide.g. "we don't say 'empower'", "British, not American spelling", "we are anti-hype". We honour these in editorial.
  • Final sign-off · one named contact authorised to approve the live pageName + role + email. We send the preview link to this contact and publish on their say-so.
Editorial promise

We may rewrite for tone, structure, or compression. We will never change facts, pricing, or claims without your sign-off.

YogaPros editorial review · the floor, not the ceiling
The editorial standard

Earned listings · not paid placement.

Every Premium listing on YogaPros is read alongside the work of Yoga Magazine, Andrew McGonigle, Swami Saradananda, OfferingTree, and the rest of the directory. The bar is the bar. We do not publish work that would feel out of place in a serious professional publication — the kind a teacher would recommend to her own students.

If you are unsure whether something passes, send it anyway. Editorial review will tighten where needed and rewrite where helpful. The standard is the floor.

i.
Empathy before instruction.

Every editorial section opens with the teacher's world before introducing the product. § 01 frames the problem in her voice. The product enters in § 02 — not before.

ii.
Specific, verifiable, unhyperbolic.

Real numbers, real claims, real testimonials. No "leading", no "world-class", no "industry's best". The teacher reading the page is a peer; treat her as one.

iii.
Compounds over a decade.

Every paragraph passes the hundred-step test: it should still read well when the partnership renews in five years. Short-term cleverness at the cost of durability fails review.

How to send everything.

One package, one delivery, where possible. We process complete briefs in seven business days; partial briefs sit in queue until complete.
