ABOUT YOGA UPLOAD
For exclusive yoga classes, programs, and challenges, please proceed to YOGA UPLOAD PLUS
Yoga Upload started out as a YouTube channel in April 2015. I wanted to provide high quality online yoga videos for free. My intention was to help people who had limited resources to go to classes, those who lived in an area without easy access to yoga, and students who preferred to practice in the privacy of their own home. Since posting the first yoga class, Yoga Upload has reached thousands of yoga practitioners all over the world. There are now over two hundred videos on the channel and more are added every month.
Here on Yoga Upload, you will find a wide variety of yoga classes to suit your needs:
Vinyasa Flow Yoga classes for beginner and intermediate students
Power Vinyasa Flow Yoga classes for intermediate and advanced students
Wrist-Free and Hands-Free Yoga Flow all-levels classes (flows without Downard-Facing Dog, Plank, and Chaturanga) for those students with wrist pain, shoulder injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other conditions where you are unable to put weight on your arms
Gentle and Beginner-Friendly Yoga classes for those who are just starting out with their practice
Yin, Restorative, and Stretch all-levels classes for relaxation, stress relief, recovery, flexibility, and meditation
To supplement your yoga practice, I also post:
Yoga Pose Tutorial Videos where I explain pose alignment and give tips
Yoga Product Review Videos of mats, props, and other yoga-related and lifestyle items
Q and A Videos where I answer your questions (from YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Email)
