6 Reasons for ONLINE Yoga WITH ME Today

Practicing yoga doesn’t only mean going to a yoga studio. In today’s world, yoga can be accessed in many different ways. One of which is online yoga via zoom. You may be wondering if it's for you. Here are six reasons it’s such a good option.

1. Practice in the safety and comfort of your own home.

After a year of being in the trenches of a worldwide pandemic, you may have a little trepidation about things opening up and going back to business as usual. Joining a zoom yoga class means you can do it in your home or wherever you are.

2. Ditch the commute.

One of the biggest challenges of starting or maintaining your yoga practice can be just getting to the studio. Without needing to commute to the studio, it is easier than ever to practice. Roll out your yoga mat, log in online and get moving.

3. Socialize while socially distancing

I imagine we can all agree we are hungry for social interaction. Socialization is something we’ve all been missing as we are social creatures. Online you get to connect with this beautiful yoga community and feel safe at the same time.

4. Move your body.

Do you move your body as much as you need to? Chances are no. Zoom yoga gets you moving your body and tuning in to how you feel. You get the benefit of endorphins(a hormone that provides a pain-relief effect) and many other mood-boosting hormones.

5. Connect to yourself

In this modern-day, you tend to push through thoughts and feelings you have. You need to get shit done, and you put your feelings on the back burner. Practicing yoga allows you to tune your attention inward, notice and understand yourself more.

6. Take a breath

You breathe on average 20,000 times a day! Are you aware of them? When you mindfully connect to breath, you intimately tune in to yourself. Your breath can give you many insights into how you feel. Is it hurried or strained? Is it smooth or calm? What does it mean? Why does it feel this way? Connecting to your breath during yoga, you learn to breathe through the difficulties you face. Learn to connect to your breath and that you are strong enough to face any challenge.

There are so many more benefits to practicing online yoga from home. Guided classes online help bring fresh ideas and movement into your life. There’s no reason not to try it. Join me live on weekly online classes, get moving and connected.
