Yoga publishing splits into four tiers, and where you can land a byline depends on whether you teach, practise deeply, or just write about it.
The big yoga media do not take open guest posts. The teacher resources take method and business content. The practice blogs are open. The brands run product-adjacent editorial. The list of 100 is below, grouped by tier.
Pick your tier first
| Tier | Examples | How you get in |
|---|---|---|
| Yoga & wellness media | Yoga Journal, Yoga International, DoYou, MindBodyGreen, Gaia, Elephant Journal | Not open guest posts. A byline from an experienced teacher, yoga therapist or a fresh reported angle |
| Teacher & studio resources | Yoga Alliance, Yoga Basics, Yogapedia, Yoga Teacher Magazine, Yoga Teacher Resource | Contributions on sequencing, teaching method, business of teaching, anatomy |
| Practice & philosophy blogs | The Yoga Lunchbox, Yogic Way, Yogi Times, The Yogi Lifestyle, YogiClifestyle | Open to contributions; practice essays, philosophy, first-hand experience |
| Yoga brands & retreats | Alo Yoga, Yoga Outlet, YogaPaws, Yogi Surprise, Karma Surf Retreat | Product-adjacent education, retreat and travel content, teacher spotlights |
What the metrics mean
| Metric | What it is | How much it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Domain Rating (DR) | Ahrefs' 0 to 100 score for a whole site's backlink profile | A useful filter, not a verdict |
| Domain Authority (DA) | Moz's equivalent 0 to 100 score | Same idea as DR |
| Page Authority (PA) | Moz's score for one specific page | Matters once you know which page your post will live on |
| URL Rating (UR) | Ahrefs' score for one specific URL | Same purpose as PA |
| Monthly Traffic | Estimated organic visits per month | The most honest signal that a link will be seen |
Here is the deal: yoga overlaps with health and mindfulness, so anything touching injury, therapy or medical claims needs real qualifications. A piece from a certified teacher or a yoga therapist carries weight a generic wellness post does not.
The 100 sites
Domain Rating, Domain Authority, Page Authority, URL Rating and estimated monthly traffic. Every domain was checked live in September 2026; dormant and shut-down blogs were replaced with active yoga publications. Metrics are third-party estimates and shift over time.

The pitch that works
- Lead with the teaching or the practice. "As a yoga therapist working with lower-back pain" or "what 10 years of Mysore practice taught me about consistency" earns the read.
- State your credential. Certification, lineage, years teaching. Editors want to know who is giving the guidance.
- Pitch the section. "For your teaching resources" or "for the philosophy series" shows you read the site.
- Bring your own detail. A sequence you teach, cues that work, a real student example (anonymised).
- Match the format. Media want a reported or personal piece. Teacher resources want a structured guide. Blogs want an honest essay.
- Disclose any training or product you have a stake in.
The test: would an editor run this if you had nothing to sell? If yes, pitch it. If it exists only to place a link, it goes in the bin.
What not to do
- Pitch a generic "5 poses for beginners" listicle with no teaching credential.
- Make injury, prenatal or therapy claims with no qualification attached.
- Send a lightly-reworded version of a post already on your own site.
- Stuff affiliate links, or point exact-match anchors ("best yoga mat") at your store.
- Use AI-generated "yoga tips" with no lived practice behind them.
Bottom line: a few placements on yoga media and teacher resources with real readers, written from actual practice or teaching, will do more for rankings and studio bookings than a long list of dormant yoga-blog links.
