Group class schedule - refresh
-
We started group classes at the start of COVID and it’s time to rethink. From the beginning we used our freelance teachers to provide group classes. This of course worked great initially as several amazing and charismatic teachers built amazing communities. But our reliance on free agent teachers to provide group classes has had its challenges:
o Hard to have 24X7 coverage for group classes: Our free agent teachers are focussed on managing this schedule – and rightfully so – but this leaves us with big holes in our group class schedule during night hours india times.
o Hard to have consistent sessions that repeat: Group classes lead by amazing teachers are built around the teacher’s personality and it’s hard to have consistent, predictable and repeated classes with several teachers working together.
o Bad habits have taken hold: Because the classes have been running for a long time or because of boredom or because our teachers are doing too much, we have seen bad habits creep into the group schedule. These habits like teachers looking at their phones in the middle of the session, turning off cameras, doing chores while in the class, spotlighting students etc. are having a negative impact on our retention and client happiness. You can hear the client’s feedback directly here - https://myyogateacher.com/group-classes/group-class-feedback-and-plans.
To address these issues, we are planning to hire and train a small group of teachers. These teachers will provide consistent, around the clock sessions. These sessions will be complemented by amazing communities/classes led by our amazing teachers that already exist - with more added when opportunities present themselves. Just to restate, we will continue to nurture and support great classes that work while augmenting them with standard basic classes that fill out the schedule.
