Introduction
Transforming Traditional Yoga Education for the Digital Era
Sampoorna Yoga is an internationally acclaimed yoga teacher training school based in Goa, India, with over 12,000 graduates worldwide since 2009. When the pandemic disrupted their in-person training model, they needed a digital transformation to continue serving their global student community. We designed and developed a comprehensive online platform that seamlessly blends traditional yoga education with modern e-learning capabilities.
The Context
The COVID-19 pandemic challenged traditional education models globally, and yoga schools faced unique obstacles in translating physical, hands-on training to digital formats. Sampoorna Yoga needed to rapidly pivot from their successful in-person training programs to offer online courses without compromising the quality and authenticity of their teachings. The platform had to handle complex course structures, international payments, and integrate with existing learning management systems while maintaining the spiritual essence of their brand.
Design Process
& Methodology
Discovery Phase
We immersed ourselves in understanding yoga philosophy and Sampoorna's teaching methodology, studying their existing student journey from inquiry to certification. We analyzed competitor platforms and identified opportunities to differentiate through authentic storytelling and simplified user flows.
Visual Strategy
The design balances traditional yoga aesthetics with modern web usability. We incorporated Sanskrit elements, nature-inspired imagery from their Goa location, and breathing space in layouts reflecting meditation principles. The color palette draws from earth tones and ocean blues, connecting to their beachside campus.
"Working with Grandworks was a seamless experience from start to finish. Their team demonstrated strong technical expertise in WordPress development and handled the complex integration with our Teachable platform efficiently. They were responsive to our feedback, delivered the project on schedule, and provided clear documentation for our team to manage the site moving forward. The website they built has been reliable and serves our international student community well."
