Lot of learning is happening online – education, music, dance and yoga, to name a few. There is really not much difference between online classes and face to face classes. The two key factors are mutual trust and effective communication. In fact, online classes provide flexibility regarding time and save the hassle of travel.

You need a yoga or exercise mat, a good internet connection and adequate light. You can use your mobile or laptop or even a tab. Classes can be joined via a stable meeting platform like Zoom or Google Meet. The initial set up is just like one does before a meeting – checking the audio and video and the visibility of the mat.

The yoga teacher gives a demo and explains the postures initially. Thereafter, he/she observes and gives verbal guidance. One advantage of online class is that the learners can actually see themselves onscreen, which leads to a lot of self-correction. Also, unless there is something seriously wrong, an experienced teacher allows you time and space for improvement and respects your learning curve. Thus, continuous correction is not needed.

For people with a special health condition, personal online yoga class will work best. You require an experienced yoga teacher to guide you, who will first understand your need and design a specific, tailor-made program. Moreover, one can avoid the hassle of travel to a yoga studio.

All yoga practices can be learned online. Apart from asanas and pranayama, we have successfully taught yoga nidra, trataka and meditation online. We have also taught detox practices like jala neti, kunjal kriya and laghu shankhprakshalana.
