CHOOSE YOUR PRACTICE TYPE Yoga for Beginners offers three beginning yoga practices, each with beautiful video and clear instruction: Vinyasa Yoga: a series of 3 beginner vinyasa yoga classes where you learn poses like downward facing dog, chaturanga, and how to flow between poses using your breath.

WHAT OTHER BEGINNER YOGIS ARE SAYING "I have tried many intro to yoga apps/websites/YouTube channels/books etc, but nothing has been as captivating and easy to follow and enjoy as this. You truly are special. This is exactly what I have been searching for. Thank you." - Hana "I love it. I'm a total newbie. I tried the intro and it was really clear. I felt like I learned about yoga poses and names I've been wondering about for a while. And best of all as a runner who is fairly muscle bound, my sides and hip flexors opened!" - Victoria "I have just completed day 1 of your intro to yoga. Based on that one session, I think I have finally found the right yoga application for me. I am impressed with the instruction given, and the high class of video you used." - Ian "I loved this first day of intro to yoga!
