3 Ways To Practice Yoga For Free

For the yogi on a budget.

3 Ways To Practice Yoga For Free
Chris Miele

Have you ever asked yourself, “I want to try yoga, but I don’t know where to start?” Or maybe thought, “I love yoga, but I can’t afford a studio membership.”

If you have, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Yoga may seem intimidating at first if you’ve never been to a class... But don’t worry, yoga is still for you. Yoga is for everybody, in fact.

Those who want to be able to practice it without breaking the bank, should be entitled to do so. Especially when you’re a busy and broke college student who can’t always schedule their day around prearranged $25 yoga classes.

That’s why I’ve gathered some of the very best yoga classes online, any person can access for free. Yes, 100 percent totally free, I promise this isn’t some Nigerian Prince scam.

These websites are impressive for both uncertain beginners and experienced yogis. They're perfect for those who cannot afford classes and for those who want to practice in the comfort of their own home. They're convenient for those who may be traveling or busy at work. They're reasonable for any of those who want to expand their horizons and every other single reason in-between. I present to you, just some of the best yoga classes online, for free, you can do in your very own home (or anywhere with an Internet connection).

1. DoYogaWithMe.com


This is a great website for newbies, experts and every yogi in-between. They have different instructors from all over upload content to their website. Classes are ranked by beginner, intermediate and advanced and they range anywhere from a light 15-minute practice to a deep 70-minute session. The website also offers hours upon hours of free meditation and yoga breathing videos. So what’s the catch? All the website suggests you do is sign up a free account. Yes, free, as in it costs nothing. However, if you find yourself enjoying the practices on the website, you can always donate any amount of money to keep the website free to online users.

2. Yoga With Dr. Melissa West

Did you know, there are hundreds of yoga videos offered for free on YouTube, alone? Yes, this is one of them. This instructor offers focused series such as "Beginner Yoga Poses," "The Eight Limbs of Yoga," and many others you can access anywhere YouTube is available.

3. Yoga With Adrienne


Adrienne is another instructor on YouTube who offers full yoga classes. Adrienne is a great instructor if you find self-discipline hard or your free timed limited. She offers intense 30-day yoga home practices like "Yoga Camp" that’ll keep you eager with anticipation for the next practice. She has many videos for beginners, or gentle workouts for those at the office or who just need a 10-minute stretch. Adrienne also has a website to learn more about her or to read her blog. The best part about Yoga With Adrienne is that she uploads a new video every Wednesday!

To practice yoga and reap its benefits, you don’t have to be able to reach your toes or put your leg behind your head. You don’t have to be a woman. You don’t have to be a man, you don’t have to be either. All you have to do is to be willing and open. Utilizing online resources like these are an extraordinary way to expand your yoga practice without breaking the bank or sabotaging your schedule. Best wishes go out to all of the yogis trying to better their body and mind through practice. Namaste, friends!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
