Top 5 Online Yoga Programs

If you are looking at adding yoga to your fitness routine you probably debated between joining a studio class or doing your own yoga in the comfort of your own home. Choosing to do yoga at home is a smart choice, its much cheaper than a studio, you get privacy, you can go at your own pace, no need to travel, and you can customize you sessions to your liking. ​The next step is to choose the right yoga program that will be best for you! As a beginner, there are many yoga class options, I've ranked the top 5 at-home yoga programs for beginners!

Affordability: It the online yoga program a reasonable price? Do they offer a free trial? It this a budget friendly option?  ​

Styles: A good online yoga program should have a wide range of style options. Different people have different preferences and a well rounded program should include all the basic popular yoga styles. ​

Quality: Videos should look professional and contain quality information. They should be easy to follow along. This includes good lighting, proper instructions, and clear sound. ​

Levels: Online yoga classes you be friendly to beginners. You shouldn't have to be a yoga expert to start practicing yoga. A good quality selection would include all levels of expertise so that you can build upon your skill. ​

#3 MyYogaWorks 

This is another well rounded online yoga program, it's number three because it's a little more pricy than my top two picks. Videos from myyogaworks.com will give that personalized and cozy studio feel in the comfort of your own home. 

• Unlimited streaming for $15 per month
• Upon sign up they give you class reccommendations based on your goals

#4 Daily Burn

Daily Burn is unique because if offers yoga programs but also offers a large range of other fitness programs. Over 20 fitness programs include 4 complete yoga class series programs and two full pilates programs. It's lower on my list because it does not solely focus on yoga and does not have a great style selection like the other online programs. 

• Unlimited streaming for $15 per month
• Full 30 day free trial
• You can access classes on your tablet or phone
• 1,000 classes and growing 
• Search for classes by teacher, duration, and style to find exactly what you need

#5 Yoga Burn

Yoga Burn is different than the other programs I've covered in that it is a yoga program that does not offer a wide variety of yoga styles. This is a great opportunity for beginners who don't want too many options and would rather follow a structured program. Yoga Burn is also a program that is specifically aimed for a body transformation and weight loss. 

• One time fee of $37
• Full 30 day free trial
• You can access classes on your tablet or phone or video on DVD
• 60 day money back guarantee
• Great for yoga beginners and all fitness levels
• Incorporates and teaches proper breathing and structure
• Pose tutorials 
• Three part yoga program that lasts 12 weeks

• You don't get a variety of styles to choose from, this is a structured program that is taught by a single instructor
• This is not a program for everyone, if you are looking for a high intenstiy workout you will not find it here
