Fitness focused.
No spirituality.

Mindfulness matters. It can help improve your focus, your game, and your inner calm. We just don’t add that to any of our classes. We focus on the physical benefits of yoga to help you move better, feel better, and perform better.

STRAIGHT TO THE POINT INSTRUCTION.

Instead of phrases like “melt your heart,” or “root yourself to the earth,” we’ll share specific tips like which muscles to engage, where you should (and shouldn’t) be feeling each exercise, and anatomical benefits of every pose. You’ll never wonder if you’re doing a pose correctly, or why you’re doing it in the first place

Our unique style of yoga.

We’ve created a unique style of yoga called Slow Burn Power Yoga. Typical yoga classes use fast moving flows to add a “cardio” element to yoga. With less time for cues in between poses, most yoga classes tend to focus almost exclusively on the breath, which is great for stress relief and improving breathing, but has little application to proper muscle engagement. Instead, we recognize that most of our students can get better cardio from walking, running, and sports.

That’s why our classes move a little slower and emphasize proper technique above all else in order to give you the time to open up your muscles, find the right modifications and adjustments, and work deeper into challenging poses.

The result is a low impact bodyweight training program that is going to push you. If you weren’t sure you could sweat from yoga then you better think again!

Frequently Asked Questions

How flexible should I be in order to use this program?

We’ve already helped tens of thousands beginners get started with yoga, so you can say we know a thing or two about working with the inflexible. The goal is to get more flexible, not already be flexible! Body By Yoga is unique because we provide modifications for people who aren’t used to doing yoga, ESPECIALLY inflexible people.  You do not have to be flexible in order to start.

I have previous injuries, and traditional exercise is too hard on my joints. Would this be appropriate?

Yes! Yoga is NO-IMPACT, which means that you’ll be able to get a fantastic workout without any of the wear and tear on your joints that accompanies traditional workouts like running or lifting weights.

Is this appropriate for mature people?

Yup! Yoga is one of the best ways to maintain bone density, mobility, and muscle mass as you age. It’s low-impact nature makes it perfect for people who aren’t able to do what they used to do with as much ease.

Does this help with lower-back pain?

Absolutely. Not only does it immediately relieve back pain, but it also helps to address the root causes of back pain, including hip mobility, core strength, poor posture, and more!

Do you have morning yoga?

Yes. Your purchase comes with access to ALL of our programs, including our complete morning system designed to help you build a better morning habit.

Is this for men?

Men and women have different anatomies with varying levels of hip flexibility and different centers of gravity. Add in the fact that they have often trained in different ways means that many traditional yoga poses can be challenging, painful, and sometimes, even impossible for men.

That’s where we come in.

Our unique take on yoga is designed for those of us can’t twist themselves into a pretzel. It’s for those of us who have tight muscles and who need modifications they probably wouldn’t get in a group class.

Does that some up a lot of men? Yes. Is it for everyone? Of course it is.

It’s yoga fitness for the rest of us. It’s for those of us who don’t relate to the typical yoga lifestyle.

For those of us that want a great workout without words and phrases like melting heart, and be one with the universe!

Do I have to meditate in order to do yoga?

Nope! We focus on the workout aspects, and you can meditate on your own time.

How quickly can i see results?

One of the best parts about this program is that people are noticing results in just WEEKS.

Is there a structured program to follow a long to?

Yes. That’s what we do best. Our structured programs take you from couch potato to movement enthusiast with a clear, easy to follow schedule.

Beginners don’t need 600+ classes, or a new instructor of the day. Instead, discover our tried and true approach that has already helped thousands.

Imagine trying to learn how to swim or learning how to weight lift, and instead of getting a structured set of steps, you get access to a library with 1000s of videos. Imagine that you’re still learning how to do the front crawl, and a new instructor of the day makes the class all about the back stroke, a move that you have not done yet.

There’s a reason why 50,000 beginners have chosen Body By Yoga’s tried and true system for beginners.

Do I have to get a subscription?

Our All Access subscription is the best bang for the buck that we have. Joining is the best way to try all of our classes at the fraction of the cost of purchasing each program separately. Don’t like subscriptions? No problem? You can purchase each program separately as you go along.

For this reason, you must listen to your body, use common sense, take breaks, and hydrate as needed to avoid injury. If at any time you feel any discomfort, pain, dizziness, light-headedness, shortness of breath, or nausea, stop exercising immediately and consult your physician. Incorrect or excessive training can result in serious injury or death.

When doing any outdoor workouts or activities, be aware of your surroundings and avoid anything that could hurt you or disrupt your exercise, especially when walking or running in public areas such as sidewalks and streets.

If you have any unique or special medical conditions, such as if you’re pregnant, have diabetes or asthma, or if you have a history of knee, ankle, hip, shoulder or spinal (back or neck) problems, you must consult your physician to understand all potential risks and complications of using our exercise programs, nutrition plans, and/or equipment, and receive approval from them to proceed before beginning. Failure to do so could result in significant injury to you and others (including, if applicable, your unborn child). By engaging in any exercise program, nutrition plan, and/or using any equipment, you assume all dangers, hazards and risks of injury or death.

SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT

FITNESS EQUIPMENT PRESENTS HAZARDS WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH

Certain programs may utilize equipment, such as yoga mats, yoga blocks, yoga straps, chairs, foam rollers, and other equipment which, if not used correctly, could lead to serious injury or death. Carefully review all safety, care and use instructions and manuals prior to beginning.

For your safety, you must:

Use any equipment shown in the workouts only as demonstrated, using proper form.
Inspect any equipment for wear or damage prior to each use and refrain from using any equipment that appears damaged, worn or defective.
Keep children, pets and any other obstacles away from equipment and exercise area at all times.
Always use a secure, proper, and stable anchor for any equipment that requires hanging or attaching.
Always exercise caution during use of any equipment to make sure you do not lose your grip or control, such as making sure your hands are not wet or sweaty.
Ensure exercise bands are firmly secure and assembled to prevent slipping, snapping, recoiling and injury to yourself or anyone else.
Ensure your workout bench and pull up bar is stable, strong enough to hold your weight and does not move during use. If you do not think you can safely perform exercises with your bench or pull up bar, or you do not have the proper equipment, you should do the modifier exercises instead.
