How does Online Yoga work?

Private & group yoga classes online

Life can get busy, and sometimes it’s hard to find the time or space to keep up with your yoga practice. If you’re looking for a way to maintain or restart your journey, online yoga could be a great option for you, as it allows you to practise whenever and wherever works best for you, making it easier to integrate yoga into your life.

How does it work?

Getting set up for online yoga is easy!

Choose the class that fits your needs, sign up, and you’ll receive a confirmation email with a Google Meet link to join.

All you need is a browser, and you can join from any device—computer, phone, or tablet. Just find a quiet space and grab any props you want to use. For private sessions, we’ll position our screens so I can see you clearly and guide you through each pose safely.

I’ll walk you through the practice, demonstrating the moves to make sure you’re comfortable and aligned every step of the way.

And most importantly, enjoy the experience! 🙂

What you’ll need

  • Yoga Mat
  • Water
  • A device with a webcam, microphone, and internet connection – if your device doesn’t have a camera or mic, external options are available (see this for example).
  • Any props you want (block, strap…) – check below for some household alternatives 🙂
  • Optional – Blanket, bolster, or cushion for added comfort during relaxation or meditation.

No Yoga Props? Practice With These Household Substitutes!

No worries if you’re missing a few props—you can easily swap them for everyday items!

When it comes to doing yoga at home or we’re travelling, sometimes we find ourselves in lack of the props we need to make the most of our practice. With a little bit of creativity, you can take common household items and easily turning them into functional yoga props!

Yoga mat

I would not recommend substituting the yoga mat with a squishy workout mat or a blanket. Soft mats or blankets can make balance tricky, so try a carpeted floor or a rug with non-slip padding instead.

If you are looking for an affordable and high-quality yoga mat, I would definitely recommend this.

Blocks

A good place to start looking for substitutes is on your bookshelves and in your closet. Use books wrapped in a towel, a shoebox filled with sturdy items, a pack of A4 paper, or even some tins or Tupperware containers… possibilities are endless!

Check these great, affordable foam blocks on Amazon.

Strap

Yoga straps are great to get deeper into your stretches, and they’re quite easy to substitute if you don’t have one at home. A belt, a tie, or a piece of rope will work just fine as a yoga strap. Just be sure to check that the fabric or material that it’s made of is strong enough and not elastic.

Bolster/Blanket

Bolsters and blankets are used in restorative poses and during meditation, but they’re not necessary! A bolster is really just a long pillow with more stuffing than most pillows for greater support. Grab a bunch of bed pillows or a stack of towels and maybe tie them up with some rope to keep them together.

Blankets offer support when rolled and keep your body warm during still poses. You may use a towel or a bed throw instead and you are good to go!

And here’s a super soft, cosy, and comforting cotton blanket on Amazon.

Benefits of Online Yoga

  • Your own time & space

Online yoga offers you the freedom to practise whenever it fits into your day. No need to leave home or rush to a studio. Whether you’re practising in the comfort of your living room, during a peaceful moment at work, or even while travelling, you can easily integrate yoga into your schedule, making it a truly flexible option for busy lives.

  • No comparison

One of the best things about practising yoga online is that it’s just you and your practice. There’s no studio atmosphere, no need to compare yourself to others. You can focus completely on your body and your own progress, in a space that feels comfortable and private. It’s all about being present with yourself.

  • Tailor-made session

Whether you choose a group class or a one-to-one session, online yoga gives you the flexibility to experience a practice that suits your needs, all from the comfort of your home.

In group classes, you’ll be guided alongside others, but with one-to-one sessions, you get the chance to focus more on your personal goals and any adjustments you might need. Both options offer a welcoming space for you to explore and develop your practice, at a pace that feels right for you – it’s all about finding what works best for you, whether you’re just starting out or have been practising for years.
