Yoga 24/7 - The best online yoga studios
With so much yoga online nowadays you don’t even need to leave the house to get your yoga fix. Here’s our quick guide to the best ones out there
Omstars
Omstars is an online community built around the revolution of yoga, with a focus on life-changing content made for yogis by yogis. It is your yoga network to practice with beginner flows, handstands and yin, or binge watch philosophy and yoga TV shows. Omstars was founded by Kino MacGregor, an author, sought after yoga expert and one of the youngest certified yoga teachers in the ashtanga yoga tradition. She draws on her depth of knowledge and experience within the practice to ensure that classes and content are for everyone.
Omstars is a family of yogis united around shared values and you’re invited to this intimate gathering of souls. It is your portal into the sacred space of yoga practice. The enlightening, authentic and life-changing content made by highly-trained yoga teachers supports you at every step. But, more than that, it is a community of spiritual seekers: in dark times, you will find the sustenance you need to keep going and, in bright times, your light will lift others.
This is a site that truly believes yoga is for everyone. The perfect body for the practice is the one you have. You don’t need to be any particular size, shape or age to practice. You do not need to be strong or flexible to start. You just need to believe in yourself enough to start. When you begin the practice, you will break through mental barriers, heal old wounds, develop true self-confidence, discover inner peace, feel comfortable in your own skin and radiate with heartfelt happiness. Tap into a community of like-minded souls. Find friends that understand you. Feel a sense of belonging. Live with more purpose. Practice every day. Come home. Be an Omstars member today. Ready to join in?
WHAT’S GREAT?
More than yoga classes, there is also a unique selection yoga philosophy classes, teacher development courses and daily live classes.
THE FACTS
Omstars is built by yogis for everyone. For less than the cost of one studio class, you get instant access to unlimited streaming of over 2,000 classes on all your devices.
Seasonal Yoga online
Customer retention is the number one problem for yoga teachers. According to the Harvard Business Review it’s five to twenty-five times more expensive to find new clients than to keep existing ones. Do you want to learn how to captivate your clients by being totally unique and have them coming back week after week?
The Seasonal Yoga approach – an online training resource for existing teachers – has maintained a consistently high level of customer retention. It also has a track record of being a convenient way of helping people retain and attract new clients as well as giving them a whole new lease of life and improving their health.
Good yoga teachers are always learning, don’t be left behind! You know your students best so why are they leaving your class? Are you sometimes bored teaching them the same old sequence of posture flows and do you feel your students may find your delivery and material a little boring? Do they feel you are missing that certain something and you would relish some guidance on how to inspire your students to remain with you?
Do you feel like you need a little flash of inspiration every time you teach? Don’t fear! Seasonal Yoga Online is there to help yoga teachers improve their content and inspire others – and students love it!
WHAT’S GREAT?
You can follow the online material at anytime, paced throughout each season, allowing an understanding of the seasons to build.
THE FACTS
You get healthier and happier; your business gets healthier; you learn an exciting new useful life skill and you can teach the Seasonal Teaching Points in your class immediately.

DRU YOGA
From yoga and meditation through to Ayurveda, mudras, philosophy and pranayama, Dru Yoga Online guides you on a journey of self-exploration and transformation.
Interestingly, Dru comes from the Sanskrit name for the North Star, Dhruva, meaning constant, immovable or fixed. It is the point around which the whole world seems to revolve. The aim of Dru? To help us get to and live from that still point of inner connectedness. Known as a therapeutic style, Dru Yoga is also evidence-based, shown to dramatically reduce back pain and stress as well as increase our emotional wellbeing. So, whatever your age, fitness levels or health goals, it is one of the most adaptable and inclusive forms of yoga on the planet.
Dru Yoga focuses primarily on activating and empowering not just the chakras, but also the five layers, or koshas. This means that each class not only focuses on the physical and breath, but also on enhancing energy flow, emotional balance, mental clarity and of course, the deep point of stillness within – the Dru point.
Dru is also a social enterprise and has been sharing inspiration and yoga teacher training world-wide for over 40 years. The online platform showcases Dru’s top international experts who are there to guide you on your yoga journey.
Dru’s mission: To transform the world by giving people the tools to transform themselves.

Yoga Dealer Practice Online!
Yoga Dealer Productions says it designs and manifests yoga, meditation, transformation, and celebration intentions. Founded by world teacher, Michael Gannon, these are captured live and offered to students worldwide to practice online.
In 2011, Gannon became a pioneer in the digital yoga field by releasing the first ever Ashtanga yoga app for the iPhone and Android, Ashtanga Yoga with Michael Gannon (ashtangayogaapp.com).
He gradually reverted back to spending more time in the classical yoga teaching methods. He designed and built one of the most beautiful brick and mortar yoga schools on the planet, Yogaloft Playa del Carmen, which opened in the Mexican Riviera Maya in 2013. He continued by spending years researching and writing his first physical, hardback book, Ashtanga Yoga Made Simple: A Practice For All Levels, published in 2018 (yogaloftplaya.com).
He has now moved back into the online yoga world with Yoga Dealer Practice Online! This consists of: new Gannon Yoga Master Classes and Workshops for practice online; live online classes directly from Yogaloft Playa del Carmen; plus, previously distributed Gannon Yoga DVDs now repurposed for practice online.
