3 Tips To Elevate Your Zoom Class Experience

The landscape of yoga & fitness classes has changed in the past 6 months. And while embracing zoom may not be our first choice, here are some ways to make the best of the situation and some perks of practicing at home too! Debra Mishalove, founder of DC’s Flow Yoga Center & workFlow Wellness shares her favorite tips.

1.

Create A Special Place To Practice

Keep it simple. I keep my supplies in a basket so I can quickly transform my space into a home studio. My favorite place to practice is my kitchen! Options you can include:

- Yoga mat

- Blanket & pillows for extra support

- Candles or plants

- Props like soup cans for weights & a belt

- Essential oils (lavender for calm, rosemary for energy!)

2.

Your Mind & Muscles Thrive On Variety!

Plan your schedule for the week ahead by taking an honest look at how you’re feeling and what may serve you best to help you make your class choices. Variety & creativity are key for building positive change & healthy habits. All of our classes come with a recording just in case your schedule changes. My favorite week includes these classes:

Monday - Vinyasa Flow
Tuesday- Cardio Barre
Wednesday - Yoga For Strength & Flexibility
Thursday - Flow Fit
Friday - Happy Hour Yoga
Saturday - Align & Flow
Sunday - Yoga For Peace & Calm

3.

Become Friends With Zoom

Zoom may not be your first choice but can’t beat the convenience. Practicing in your pjs, no parking struggle have their perks.

A few ways help you recreate that studio feel:

-Turn on your screen & add your first name so your teacher can get to know you! With this 2-way relationship you’ll feel more connected and get more support to grow in your practice.

- Use the chat box! Special requests? Need tech help? Or want your teacher to know about a special condition or injury you are dealing with? Send a pre-class chat to your teacher or our online producer for any support you need.
