Why This Works

This or That prompts work because they lower the barrier to participation. Members only need to pick between two simple options, making it easy for even shy or busy people to join in. The playful format taps into our natural desire to share preferences and see how others compare, fueling organic conversation.

In yoga communities, these posts help members bond over shared interests and playful contrasts. Whether it is choosing between morning or evening practice, or picking a favorite pose, these prompts remind everyone that yoga is about enjoying the journey together. The relaxed, low-pressure style encourages more frequent interaction, building a stronger sense of community.

How to Use These Templates

Post one of these This or That templates as a question to your group, forum, or social feed. Invite members to pick their answer, and encourage them to share why if they want. Mix these in between other content types to keep things fresh and fun. You can also use them in stories, polls, or as quick icebreakers at the start of events. Rotate through the list to avoid repetition and keep the engagement flowing.

Best Practices

  • Keep options light and yoga-friendly, avoiding controversial topics.
  • Encourage short explanations to spark extra conversation.
  • Use images or emojis for added visual appeal, when the platform allows.
  • Rotate prompts regularly to maintain member interest.
  • Respond to answers to show appreciation and nurture community bonds.

All Platforms Tips

For all platforms, keep your This or That posts clear and concise. Use platform features like polls, stories, or comment threads to drive quick responses. Adapt the template for visual platforms (like Instagram or Facebook) with simple graphics or emojis. On text-based channels, keep the tone friendly and encourage replies directly in the thread.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I use This or That posts to spark meaningful discussions about different yoga styles, like Vinyasa vs Yin, within my community?

This or That posts comparing yoga styles (e.g., Vinyasa vs Yin) invite members to share their personal experiences, preferences, and goals. Use these comparisons to prompt questions like 'Which style helps you unwind after a stressful day?' or 'Which do you find more challenging for building strength?' This creates space for nuanced conversations about practice intentions, teacher recommendations, and even class planning ideas.

What are some effective This or That post ideas around yoga props, such as blocks vs straps, or mat thickness preferences?

Props are often debated in yoga communities. Try posts like 'Blocks vs Straps: Which do you use more often in your practice?' or 'Thin mat or thick mat: What's your go-to?' These questions let practitioners share accessibility tips, brand preferences, and modifications for poses, making the conversation practical and supportive, especially for beginners or those with physical considerations.

How can I address sensitivities around This or That posts involving challenging poses, like Headstand vs Shoulder Stand, to keep responses inclusive?

Not all members may be comfortable or able to perform advanced asanas. When posting about challenging poses (e.g., Headstand vs Shoulder Stand), frame the question as 'Which pose are you more curious to learn, or do you enjoy watching others practice?' This encourages engagement from practitioners of all levels and keeps the tone inclusive, while still sharing inspiration and tips.

How do I use This or That posts to dispel myths or misconceptions common in yoga circles, such as Hot Yoga vs Traditional, or Morning vs Evening practice?

Use This or That prompts to challenge assumptionsβ€”e.g., 'Hot Yoga vs Traditional: Which do you think offers more benefits for flexibilityβ€”and why?' or 'Morning vs Evening: When does your body feel more open?' Encourage members to share evidence-based perspectives, personal anecdotes, or studies they've read, leading to myth-busting conversations and a more informed community.

What are some ways to make This or That posts resonate with yoga teachers in my community, such as Sequencing Savasana at the end vs the beginning of class?

For teacher-focused engagement, pose scenario-based questions like 'Do you prefer to place Savasana at the end vs the beginning of your classβ€”and how does it affect your students?' or 'Hands-on assists vs verbal cues: Which do you rely on more for alignment?' These tailored prompts foster professional development and peer learning among yoga instructors.

Can I use This or That posts to explore yoga lifestyle choices beyond asana practice, such as Plant-based vs Ayurvedic diets, or Meditation vs Pranayama for stress?

Absolutely! Broaden your This or That topics to include yoga lifestyle elements: 'Do you lean towards a plant-based or Ayurvedic-inspired diet?' or 'Which supports your mental clarity more: Meditation or Pranayama?' These posts engage members interested in holistic wellness and provide opportunities for resource sharing, recipes, and mindfulness techniques.
