Free, or almost free, online yoga classes



Stretch, strengthen, and soothe in your own home, with guidance

Free, or almost free, online yoga classes


Yoga studios were shut down by the quarantine, and even now, some of us are leery about going back to the ones that have reopened. Not to mention the cost, at a time when disposable income may be low. The Cut suggests a number of online yoga classes that are free (or nearly so), with qualified teachers and lots of variety for all levels of practice.

Do Yoga with Me invites donations while offering full-length classes, tutorials, and meditation instruction. Yoga styles include Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Kundalini, and Ashtanga. Also available are power classes and prenatal classes. Intermediate students will have a lot to choose from and will be able to explore new approaches.

Yoga with Adriene offers Youtube videos of various lengths, from under 10 minutes to an hour, depending on how much time you have on a given day. The personable Adriene leads you through sequences oriented toward specific topics such as a whole series for back pain, yoga for anxiety, nourishing the artist within, and many more. Adriene even has yoga videos for kids and for teachers. Especially good for beginners.
