Best Yoga channels on YouTube to improve your well-being

International Yoga Day 2021 will be on June 21 and will have the theme “Yoga for well-being.”

With the theme of “Yoga for well-being” International Yoga Day 2021 is getting closer, but your gym or yoga studio may no longer be offering in-person yoga classes right now because of the ongoing pandemic. With the help of some Yoga tutorial videos on YouTube you can still calm your senses and feel rejuvenated right from the comfort and safety of your home.

While it’s still not advisable to step out, these YouTube channels can be your personal Yoga classroom, making fitness and well being more accessible to you. Not only are these YouTube yoga videos convenient, but they are also free - meaning that these Yoga classes would not burn a hole in your pocket. This also makes them a low-stakes choice for beginners who are curious about yoga, but may not want to commit to a streaming service for their classes.

Whether you are planning on starting Yoga this month and lead a healthy lifestyle or someone who frequently practices Yoga but misses the Yoga classes, here’s a list of the best YouTube channels to follow for incredible yoga lessons:

Yoga With Adriene

Adriene Mishler is one of the undisputed queens of YouTube yoga channels with over 9.9 million subscribers. She is quirky, down-to-earth and very much someone that you may want to be best friends with. It’s not surprising that Mishler has a fiercely loyal following and massive popularity.

All of her videos stress the importance of doing away with comparison and finding your own unique expression of each pose. Anyone just starting yoga, or even someone who could use a refresher, can also benefit from her Foundations of Yoga series, which breaks down the basic alignment and benefits of tons of yoga poses.

The Yoga Room

The Yoga Room totally lives up to its name, a cozy place where you’d want to hang out. The studio’s owner, Zelinda Yañez, welcomes you into her Texas-based studio with tutorials and yoga flows for those seeking a gentle and therapeutic practice. Yañez is super tranquil and her intent is to help yoga practitioners of all shapes and sizes enjoy a safe, comfortable practice.

Aham Yoga

Founded by Yoga teacher Arundhati Baitmangalkar, an Indian immigrant, former Bollywood dancer, and choreographer, Aham Yoga is based in Washington state that posts videos and offers online yoga classes daily. The channel is for anyone interested in yoga, whether it’s a 5-minute intro for beginners or perfecting their poses, or simply understanding more about the practice of yoga.

Mysore Teacher Training Institute (Samyak Yoga)

The Samyak Yoga Ashram in Mysore, India, is a well-respected yoga school that takes hatha, vinyasa, and ashtanga classes that typically last anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half. This would be the perfect channel if you’re looking for longer workouts. The videos here aren’t one-on-one, but actually give you a glimpse into a roomful of other yoga students who are practicing at the Mysore Teacher Training Institute.

And if you’ve always dreamed of getting your yoga certification at a traditional yoga school in India, there are lots of brief, inspiring videos where students share tidbits about what the experience is like.

Koya Webb Yoga

Koya Webb is not only a yoga teacher, but she is also a personal trainer, health and wellness coach, author, and motivational speaker. And she brings a holistic approach to everything that she does.

Koya Webb’s YouTube channel offers more than just yoga classes; you can watch healthy recipes, interviews, meditations, and workouts.

Purple Valley Ashtanga Yoga

Ashtanga is a style of yoga that links breath to movement in a fast-moving, more specifically structured style that has earned a reputation for being somewhat intense. Because of that, ashtanga can be intimidating for some people. But if you think you can handle a bit of hardcore yoga, then Purple Valley with their one-on-one instruction from some of the world’s leading teachers, who gather at the Purple Valley Ashtanga Yoga Retreat in India is the best choice for you. The Purple Valley channel regularly features classes with renowned instructors, such as Deepika Mehta, David Robson, and Kino Macgregor.
