Your Digital Safety
Simple steps go a long way in protecting your personal information.
These quick actions give you peace of mind, so you can focus on what matters—your yoga practice and well-being.
Ways You Can Keep Yourself Safe While Online
Easy, Strong Logins
Choose a simple password manager—think of it like a locked notebook on your phone—that creates and remembers different strong passwords for all your yoga and wellness sites. Turn on two-step verification so a code is sent to your phone whenever you log in. This stops strangers, even if they guess your password, from getting in.
Keep Devices Up to Date
Set your computer, tablet, or phone to update itself automatically. Updates fix security holes, much like fixing cracks in a door. Only get yoga or health apps from the Google Play Store or Apple’s App Store—these shops check apps first. Also, run a basic antivirus scan now and then to catch any unwanted bugs.
Browse Safely
Before you click any link in an email or message about a yoga class, hover your mouse over it to see where it really goes. If it looks odd, don’t click. Use a simple ad blocker extension, which is like a screen that stops unwanted pop-ups and hidden malware. And always download files only when you request them.
Share Carefully
When chatting in online yoga groups, don’t post personal details like your home address or health history. You might choose a nickname instead of your real name. Check your app settings and turn off sharing of location, camera, or microphone unless you’re using them. Back up important photos and notes to a locked box in the cloud every few months.
Handy Quiz & Checklist
Add a short, five-question quiz at the end of your page—questions such as, “How do you spot a suspicious email?” After finishing, each person gets simple feedback: “Good! You know to hover before you click.” Offer a one-page printable checklist covering passwords, updates, safe browsing, and sharing tips. Encourage signing up for a quarterly email refresher.Ask ChatGPT
