How to make a yoga or pilates studio video without filming

Updated October 21, 2026 · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

Add a photo of your studio, mats or a pose in Rift and tell Spark, Rift's video agent, the scene, such as morning light moving across a row of mats. Check the Draft, tap Make, and you get a video of up to 15 seconds, without filming a class or asking anyone to stay still.

A yoga studio sells quiet, and filming a class can break it. A photo and a few words let you show the room without a camera crew.

What you need

An iPhone with Rift.
A photo of the room, the mats or you in a pose, in soft light.
Class times and booking link, for the post.

Step by step

Add your photo in Rift.
Tell Spark the mood: slow, warm, still.
Check the Draft. Keep the room and your pose as in the photo.
Tap Make once you have seen the price.
Post from your Library with the schedule in the text.

“Morning light slides across a row of yoga mats, dust floats in the sunbeam.”
“Me in tree pose on the beach at sunrise, waves behind, steady camera.”
“A candle flickers beside a folded blanket in the pilates studio.”
“My cat stretches on the mat next to my feet.”
“The studio door opens and soft light fills the room.”

Tips

Soft, even light keeps the mood calm.
Slow moves. Ask for slow in your line.
Clear the floor before you photograph the room.
Ask first if a client is in the photo.

Questions people ask

Do I need to film my students?

No. Use a photo of the empty room, or of you, and Spark sets up the scene.

Can I show a pose?

Yes. Add a photo of you in the pose and ask Spark for a slow, steady move.

Can the video list my class times?

Text over video isn't in the app yet. Put times in the post.

Can it come with calm sounds?

Sound isn't in the app yet. Add a track in the app you post to.
