If you’ve noticed an uptick in the amount of your friends and family trying out yoga, you aren’t wrong. Yoga is fast becoming a noticeable lifestyle change that everyday people are choosing over the world. In fact, today there are over 300 million yoga practitioners worldwide and that number is growing by 10–20 percent per year.

Why are they practicing? The most obvious answer is health and mindfulness. In our fast-paced world of social media and never-ending notifications, taking a step back to breath and connect with others is more needed than ever. How though do you meet these other yogis? Luckily there are platforms like yoganect that make it easy to engage with other yogis all across the globe. Not only can you find other like minded yogis, you can also find inspiration from teachers and even attend classes, retreats, and festivals. We call it a digital hangout for yogis.

Re-thinking social media

Even though other social media platforms like Instagram or Facebook might have the yoga inspiration you’re looking for in a moment, there’s no meaningful place that helps a yogi find something that perfectly fits them. Everything is mainstream, outdated, or just doesn’t quite get the yoga mindset. After all, selling your data to an external firm isn’t exactly the most thoughtful or mindful. How are yoga businesses supposed to target their audiences without resorting to this? How are any yoga enthusiasts meant to find a new teacher or share their videos

Solution: The welyou token

According to the Yoga in America 2016 study, more than 58 percent of yogis create and distribute instructional videos and articles to their viewers. Here’s the problem… 71 percent never earned any reward for doing so. The welyou token that we offer on our platform fixes that imbalance. Welyou is a native utility token, based on Ethereum Blockchain Technology.

What does it do exactly?

Imagine you create useful content or provide a service to other yoganect users and earn a token. You can spend these tokens to book a yoga class or a yoga gear with discounts on our platform. This is something that yoga enthusiasts have already been doing, creating insightful content, but now they will be able to monetize it.

With the welyou token, we create a secure and fair ecosystem that incentivizes yogis, teachers and yoga businesses alike to interact with one another in a productive manner online. It’s as easy as inviting a friend, writing an article, placing a review or attending a yoga class.

welyou is a native utility token, based on Ethereum Blockchain Technology. It is designed to protect & incentivize the interaction & engagement on the yoganect platform.

Why choose yoganect?

With all of the different social media networks, you might be wondering how yoganect is any different. Here’s the answer: yoganect is an organic interface exclusively for yogis. You won’t be caught mindlessly scrolling through your feed. Instead, you will enjoy topics that match your interests and get rewarded by productively interacting online with other yogis.The content on yoganect is constantly moderated by the actual users themselves & is accumulated on one single platform populated with like-minded people. If you’re a yoga business, there are unique business tools that you can use to reach your optimal yoga audience, create class bookings and count on all of your students and your content being secure. The best part is that all of the offers and content you receive as both a business and yogi will be tailored to what you need and ask for.
