Ready-made sequences to practice with.
How long do I have access?
For life. The course stays in your member area, and you can study it at whatever pace suits you, on any device with a browser.
Do I need the Yoga Deck?
No. The course stands on its own. It is filmed around the deck's cards, so owning it makes the lessons easier to take to the mat, but the teaching is complete without it.
I'm a complete beginner. Is this for me?
Yes. Every pose starts from the beginning, with modifications for any level and the precautions that matter.
When does it start?
As soon as you buy it. It is self-paced video, so there is nothing to wait for and no schedule to keep.
Can I watch on my phone?
Yes, on any device with a browser. The lessons are short, so they work on a phone propped beside the mat.
What if it isn't right for me?
Write to us within 30 days of purchase and we will refund you in full.
