166/365 Practicing Yoga through your PC (or Mac)

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

So in my quest to becoming a yogi I have realized that I am but a poor, unemployed (hopefully not for long) recent college graduate. Perhaps joining a studio or gym is not the best option for people like me at the moment. Thankfully, we have the internet. Though sometimes the internet can take over our lives and our time to exercise or sleep, there are some gems.

YogaDownload is a way that you can add yoga into your day through your computer. You can either pay for online yoga class ala carte or have a subscription. You can also choose to stream your video or download it and keep it forever (or as long as your trusty computer will let you). The price of a class through this site is loads cheaper than one in a studio. The downsides are that you don't receive personal attention that a live instructor can give you to ensure that you are safe and performing the poses correctly and the lack of the yogi community when practicing.

I think that if you already have a strong base yoga practice, this is a convenient way to bring yoga wherever you go. If you are starting out your practice, I recommend that you attend a class with a live teacher so you can really learn the basics first.

I'm going to try a Power Yoga class today and let you know how it goes tomorrow.

In health,

Lauren
