For Yoga Instructors · Boulder Affiliate Program

Your students lose more than they replace after a hot class. You know the science. Now you earn on it.

Hot yoga strips out 2–5 lbs of sweat per class — around 1,500–3,000 mg of sodium. Standard sports drinks don't come close. Your students already trust your voice. We give you the story, the science, and a share of every kit ordered through your code. In partnership with Skratch Labs and Yoga Pod Boulder.

Illustrative — what the math looks like
10 classes a week
→ $400–1,200 a month

A mid-tier instructor teaching ~10 classes/week, ~40% of students run their number, on a referral per starter kit (Skratch base + pre-measured mineral pouches) plus optional studio-counter resale margin:

Classes / week
10
Starter kits / month
~25–50
Referral / kit
$12–20
Monthly
$400–1,200
Illustrative estimate, not a guarantee — the program is new. Paid monthly via direct deposit. No upfront cost. No multi-level anything.

Three ways to tell the story

Copy these word-for-word or make them your own — they've been tested with actual hot yoga students.

The 30-second end-of-class drop ~30 sec · after savasana
"Before you go — if you feel flat or drained the rest of the day after class, a big part of that is the sodium you just sweated out. You lost about three pounds of fluid in here — roughly 2,000 milligrams of sodium. Gatorade has 160 a serving; Liquid IV about 500. You're not even close to replacing it. There's a free tool called SweatSciences that calculates what you actually need. Scan the QR on my mat. Tell them I sent you."
The personal proof point ~60 sec · mid-class, in between poses
"Quick one — I used to think I was just a heavy sweater. Turns out I lose about 4,500 mg of sodium in a 75-minute class. That's like nine Gatorades' worth. I measured it with SweatSciences — weigh before, weigh after, done. Now I mix one scoop of Skratch with a measured bit of pink salt after class — it's made a real difference for me. If you want to know your number, the QR's on my mat. It's my code; I earn a little when people try it. But honestly — I'd tell you about it either way."
The science flex (for the curious student) ~2 min · one-on-one after class
"So there's this part of your brain called the OVLT — it's basically a salt sensor. When sodium drops, it ramps up thirst and that flat, sluggish feeling. Water alone won't reset it — you need sodium with it. Most sports drinks are sugared-up with just enough sodium to taste good. For a 105-degree room for 75 minutes, you need 2,000–4,500 mg of real sodium replacement. SweatSciences measures your exact number. You weigh in, weigh out, they do the math. Then you mix a scoop of Skratch with pink salt — costs you about $2 a class. Works. My code's on the mat; I earn a bit if you subscribe. Either way, at least go check what your real number is."

Why this works for your students

01

They already trust you

A 30-second mention from their instructor beats any ad. You are the expert. You practice hot yoga every day. You already have their attention.

02

It addresses a real gap

Heavy hot-yoga practitioners sweat out far more sodium than a standard sports drink replaces. Replacing what you lose is a normal part of hydration and recovery — and most people are under-doing it.

03

It's not another app

They measure once, they're calibrated. The recipe gets saved to their phone. It's not a subscription that asks for their attention every day.

04

It's cheaper than what they're buying

Most of your students are buying Liquid IV, Nuun, LMNT — $30–60/month. Our kit is ~$2/class at bulk. Better science, lower cost.

Objections you'll hear · what to say

"Isn't this just an MLM?"
No. One level, period. You earn on your own referrals. That's it. No recruiting other instructors, no downlines, no team quotas, no starter kits to buy. It's a straightforward affiliate program — same structure as every fitness creator on Instagram.
"Too much sodium is bad for you."
Chronically high dietary sodium from processed food — sure, that's documented. But sodium you lose in sweat is different. The JAMA 2011 study shows a J-curve: too little sodium is also bad for cardiovascular health. And this is replacement after measurable loss, not extra on top.
"Why not just drink coconut water?"
Coconut water is ~250 mg sodium per cup. If you lost 2,000 mg in class, you'd need eight cups. It's fine as a snack; it's not a sweat-replacement strategy.
"Can I just use LMNT?"
You can use any base you like — that's the whole point. One LMNT stick is 1,000 mg sodium; for a class where you lose 3,000+, you'd need three sticks, which is ~$5 and very salty-sweet. We recommend a real-food base (Skratch) plus a measured pink-salt top-up so the cost drops and the flavor stays drinkable. The calculator gives the exact amounts for whatever base you pick.
"My students already have a gym / Whoop / Garmin setup."
Perfect — this complements that. SweatSciences reads from Apple Health (iOS) so their existing workout data flows in. The only manual step is weighing in/out at the studio; their Whoop tells us their heart rate, duration, and recovery.
