7 Steps To Record Your First Yoga Podcast

Outcome
Set up your own yoga podcast.  Audio and video podcasts are becoming very popular with yoga teachers.  It’ll take a while to learn the whole process, but if you like the idea of spreading your “yoga teachings” around the world, it’s well worth giving it a go.

Step 1
Audacity 

You’ll need to record your voice on the computer.  I use a free, open source software called Audacity.

Step 2
Ideas 

Decide what you want to record. To get ideas, visit www.apple.com/itunes and type in yoga. You can talk through a yoga posture, record yourself teaching a class or interview someone about something related to yoga.

Step 3
Itunes

Download iTunes onto your computer (if you don’t already have it) at www.apple.com/itunes

Step 4
Mindmap

I highly recommend you doodle a MindMap of topics to cover during the podcast.

Step 5
Record

Open up your Audacity Software and record the podcast.  You can find lots of video tutorials on how to use Audacity by going to YouTube and searching for “audacity tutorials”.

Step 6
Itunes

Once you’ve recorded your podcast, you’ll need to add it to to iTunes.  This will allow people to download your podcast to their computer as an MP3 or let them play it on the web.

Step 7
Promote

Now it’s time to promote your podcast.  Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Go to Digg.com and digg it.
Go to Stumbleupon.com and stumble it.
If you have a blog, write a post and include the audio.
