A live teacher at 7am or 7pm, on the screen you already own, watching your actual form and adjusting your actual knees. No recordings instead of a person, no class of forty through a phone - just you, an unhurried hour, and a teacher who knows your name and your left hip.
Most online yoga is a recording. This is a person.
The pandemic proved two things: online yoga works, and a recorded class knows neither your name nor your balance. Our sessions are live and one-to-one - the teacher watches, corrects, and remembers that your right shoulder and Tuesday are not on speaking terms.
And for the camera-shy - roughly a third of our clients, mostly men - camera-shy mode: you see the teacher, the teacher sees the ceiling or your feet, your choice. It changes nothing about the quality of the session. We hear your breath and your form in the voice; that is most of yoga anyway.

Client stories
What our clients say
"I live in rural Montana, two hours from any studio. Sanjay sees me at 7am in my living room and knows more about my hips than my local doctor. The blocks arrived by mail. My daughter set nothing up, which she found insulting and I found glorious."
RM
Robert M. 68, two hours from anywhere
"Camera-shy mode, obviously - I am 73 and was not going to be judged by strangers in a class. Carol sees my feet and hears everything else. It works. My balance log, which she makes me keep, says so."
GT
Gus T. 73
"Winter. Denver but it might as well be anywhere. I have not missed a Tuesday since October 2021, which is 200+ sessions without driving on ice. My knees and my insurance agent both approve."

Frequently asked questions
The setup call exists precisely for you: Deepa walks you through by phone, once, and afterward your device rings and you answer it. That is the entire technical burden. This works for people who still print their email.
A yoga mat's worth of floor and somewhere to prop the device. Kitchen counters and living room carpets are the most common studios in America, in our experience.
We call back within a minute, and the session extends to make up the gap. If tech fails twice in a session, that session is free - rare, but it is policy.
Yes, shared privates are common and slightly discounted per person. One screen, two mats, one teacher watching both of you, which is a skill our teachers actually train for.
For most things, yes - and measurably better than the alternative for people far from studios, with schedules, or with weather. For hands-on adjustment, nothing replaces in person, and we say so. We teach to the screen's strengths honestly.
6am to 8pm Mountain, seven days. Deepa handles time zones so you never have to think about Mountain Time in your life.
