Tuesday's Tone Up

This Tuesday's Tone Up is another great way to enjoy *free* yoga! Yogatoday.com offers streaming video of free yoga classes on a weekly basis. The classes are one hour in length and can be watched on your computer in full-screen mode just like a dvd. Each class usually has a focus, which is a great way to help you learn new yoga moves. For example, last week's free class introduced headstands and shoulder stands as part of the one hour class. This week's free class focuses on sun salutations. Other classes might focus on core strength, stretching your hamstrings, alleviating knee, neck or back pain or even on yoga for a specific purpose like sports or jet lag. The classes are also broken down by level from beginner to guru (advanced), so these classes are suitable for everyone! Another great bonus is that most classes have reviews by other users so you can find out if the class is right for you or what other people thought of the class before selecting the class.

Yogatoday has three instructors; Sarah Kline, Adi Amar, and Neesha Zollinger. Each instructor has her own style and type of practice. The types of yoga featured are usually Anusara, Ashtanga, Hatha Blend, Kundalini or Vinyasa. (For more information on any of these types of yoga click on the links provided.)

If you decide that you like one of the classes you have watched, you can own the class by purchasing it for $3.99. This means the class will be saved to your computer and you can watch it anytime. Or, if you prefer to have access to the entire library of yoga classes, you can join for $9.99 a month for unlimited access or use Yogatoday's special promotion of 25% off and join for one full year for $89.99. This is a particularly great way to get used to practicing yoga if you are too nervous to go to a live class since you can do it in the privacy of your own home. Another bonus? You can take it with you wherever you go! So get your downward dog on today!

  1. Hey FitBritt, do you know a good workout routine for people who may be stuck in an office all day with little opportunity to get up from their chair and move around?
