Bateman had already been hosting online webinars for instructors, which got her thinking."I was like, 'OK, we've got to get these instructors paid--that's the mission here,'" she says. Almost overnight, LubbDubb became a directory for online classes taught via Zoom. Other sites like Seattle's Namastream and Los Angeles-based Glo have been offering online yoga and meditation classes for several years, so students are already acclimated to the idea.
Hannah Muse, a yoga instructor based in Santa Cruz, California, says she normally teaches in-person classes for about 40 to 50 students. The first time she taught an online course booked through LubbDubb, 140 people signed up.
