A buyer's checklist
How to choose the best online yoga classes in India
There are hundreds of online yoga classes. Before you pay for any of them, ours included, check these seven things. We built our own classes around this list.
- 7 things to check
- Free trial before you pay
- No lock-in
The checklist
- 1
Live, not recorded
A teacher who can see you can correct a risky posture. A recorded video can't.
- 2
Small groups
With 50 people on screen, nobody is really watched. Look for about 10 or fewer. Ours: up to 8.
- 3
Properly trained teachers
Ask where they trained: a recognised course such as S-VYASA's Yoga Instructor's Course, YCB/QCI certification, RYT-200 or a degree in yoga therapy.
- 4
Honest about health
Good teachers support your doctor's care and never promise cures or a fixed number of kilos.
- 5
Times that fit your day
Classes at fixed times in your time zone make a habit much easier to keep.
- 6
A free trial and no lock-in
Try a class before paying, and avoid long contracts you can't get out of.
- 7
Clear prices
The price per class should be on the website, not only on a call.
How Saraswati Yog measures up
