Craigslist ad

[dakiniyoga]

Hi Sara and harlan,

I posted an ad on craigslist last week and had no response other than one scammer. I wanted you to take a look at the ad and give me some feedback as to how to make it attract more potential clients.

Thank you both for all that you do,
Laura

In today's fast paced and highly demanding world, we all have a certain amount of stress in our lives. This stress can show up physically as chronic muscle tightness and stiffness, aches and pains, high blood pressure, weight problems and disrupted sleep. Emotionally we may feel irritable, angry, depressed, overwhelmed or have trouble focusing. Practicing yoga can help you relieve these symptoms naturally. You don't need to be flexible, young or in great shape to do yoga. Through gentle stretching and movement, breathing exercises and relaxation techniques you will begin to notice changes in your body and mind. Some of the benefits of yoga include:

*Increased strength and flexibility
*Greater joint range of motion
*Lower heart rate and blood pressure
*Improved breathing and circulation
*Better posture
*Weight loss
*Relief from low back pain
*Improved quality of sleep
*Greater mental clarity and focus
*Freedom from negative thought patterns

Laura, I believe Sara has already responded to your website.

What kind of response do you expect when they come to your website and see the opening picture?

You have an artsy site but not one that is appropriate for the general public.

Please follow the suggestions Sara made in her post.

I did a video review of your site for our paid newsletter.

I will email it to you.
