The best free online yoga classes: an addict's picks

WHILE some enjoy the comfort and flexibility of practising at home, I have not been able to stick to a solid self-practice routine. Doing yoga from home requires you to be aware of your body as there is no teacher to check and correct your alignment.

Of course, you also need to have the discipline to roll out your mat and get started without getting distracted. But the main reason why I prefer the studio is because of the safe space it provides.

With gyms and studios now closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, online yoga classes are the next best option. While I am able to do a yoga flow that I remember, I find myself repeating the same postures and getting stuck halfway through. I prefer having a teacher's voice to guide me so that I can switch off my thoughts and move through the instructions.
