Created for beginners.

Every class provides modifications for inflexible beginners. Great for those who are brand new to fitness as well as anyone who works out and has tight muscles.

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

Targeted Routines For Every Goal

Instead of a one size fits all approach to yoga, we have different classes for specific goals. Need yoga for back pain? Check. Looking for a short morning workout? Check. Yoga for running? For weight loss? For recovering in between workouts? Yep, we have those too. Select the yoga class that matches your goals and level of fitness.

Most students Feel results after just one class.

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!

Hello, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy Body By Yoga. I’m on the mat 5-6 days a week for at least an hour. I feel great and my flexibility is improving. I also wanted to relate to what happened @ 3 weeks ago I pulled a muscle in my lower back, the pain wasn’t extremely painful just annoying and I felt it all during the day. I thought I can’t do yoga until it heals but started doing the back yoga videos, First the stretching video then both the strengthening videos for two weeks plus periodically throughout the day I would do childs pose and pigeon stretches. After two weeks my back is fine, no pain and now I can go on to other routines on Body By Yoga without it bothering my back.

My husband (he's 51) and I (I'm 48)have done three programs from you (Yoga Boost, Yoga Fix, and Yoga Strong). We love all of them. Plus, they really help the both of us, especially my husband who's had a back problems since his late teens. I've lost weight and gained muscle from your videos where we both feel great !

Hey Dean, Just wanted to say thanks. I am a little over a year out of a failed back surgery. I stumbled upon your yoga fix videos. I was pretty regular with yoga before my back injury and surgery and I loved it (the spiritual side too) but your yoga has helped me start to rebuild my muscles, really target muscle groups. I like knowing what muscles I am targeting. I know the video is only 20 minutes and I try to do it everyday but it really works my muscles more than I could have imagined. I am a little more than 3 weeks in and still feel that muscle burn each time I finish the class. I think that is because I am going deeper and pushing more each week. Thanks Again

I purchased your Yoga Fix programme for my husband to try to get him into yoga. He is an absolute beginner to yoga but not to fitness, he works out 5 days a week in the mornings doing gym work/weights and some cardio. He has been loving the programme and has really embraced it

I’ve been using Yoga Boost for about three weeks now, and I’m loving it. This is a big deal, because although I’m a lifelong fitness guy, the one physical practice I’ve NEVER loved is yoga, though I’ve tried several times before. I’ve always come away feeling frustrated and unsuccessful. Body by Yoga has changed all that for me. The workouts are definitely challenging, but I enjoy them immensely, and feel great both during and after the classes. I’m starting to really improve, and feeling incredible changes in the way I stand and move throughout the day. Superior workouts, superior instruction. I’m a believer!

I want to say that I love the programs and Dean; it is one of the best yoga there is. Dean is a great instructor.

I love the programs are 20 minutes, easy to fit in and get through. I’m am turning 60 in a week and have been a competitive local runner for over 35 years, not so much in the last few. Over the years I have developed common overuse injuries that have derailed my training, which I still love to do. Yoga Fix has helped me identity some of those imbalances I’ve developed over the years, and I guess that’s the first thing in healing. To me Dean is a real guy and I like the way he leads you into the poses with focus on muscle groups. Cool stuff and I know I focused this on Fix but also love Yoga Edge.

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.

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.
