Wednesday's Workout

Our previous post on free yoga classes at lululemon is coming back! This summer Lululemon is offering free OUTDOOR yoga classes! Every Tuesday at 10am and Thursday at 6pm Lulu offers free one-hour outdoor classes in Bryant Park in NYC. Other locations also offer outdoor classes. Visit lululemon.com for more information. Get outside this summer!

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!

Tuesday Trim Down

Today's Trim Down Tip is another *Freebie.* Staying motivated on your own can be extremely difficult, which is one reason why pricey gyms with their huge array of classes and trainers can be so appealing. Enter Lululemon. This popular fitness apparel store (with pricey clothes-yoga pants costing $98!) offers completely free yoga classes (this goes a long way to counterbalancing the expensive clothes). In addition to yoga, many store locations also offer other types of classes such as bootcamp classes, run clubs, pilates classes and more! Some stores even offer free mats for classes so you don't have to worry about bringing your own mat.

Visit lululemon.com and find a location near you to check out their free classes!
