A Prompt Explained (and a few to try today)
A prompt is simply the input or question you type into ChatGPT to get a response. Think of it as the way you communicate with the AI. The better and more specific your prompt, the more helpful and accurate the response will be. For example, instead of saying, “Help me with yoga,” you could say, “Create a 60-minute Vinyasa yoga sequence for beginner-level students that focuses on flexibility and relaxation.”
Prompts are powerful because they guide ChatGPT to act as your assistant, coach, or collaborator. In the wellness and yoga industry, prompts can be used to create class sequences, generate marketing content, or even brainstorm workshop ideas.
