Do you practice yoga online or in a studio?
Online yoga classes are widespread and have transformed for many people the way they approach this discipline.
What about in-person yoga, on the other hand? Let's analyze why take an online yoga class or sign up for a yoga class at a gym.
YOGA ON-LINE
PROS:
Unlimited hours: With home-work schedules, it is often difficult to ensure regularity in the schedules of in-person classes. Online yoga has the advantage that it can be done anytime, anywhere, providing unparalleled flexibility and adaptability to one's routine.
Intimacy: Although one of the cardinal principles of yoga, is to suspend judgment. Not everyone feels comfortable in a class for fear of being judged on physical appearance or skill level of doing yoga asana poses. Online yoga provides privacy and intimacy.
Choice of classes : Online yoga is divided into many you tube channels with themed practices that you can choose according to your needs.

CONS:
Lack of feedback : Online yoga is a one-way form of communication; the practitioner carries out the directions of a recorded lesson. There is no way to be able to receive feedback and adjustments. Especially for beginners, it is necessary to have guidance to gain awareness of one's posture.
Relationship: The relationship with the yoga teacher is most important because it also allows one to create a path for growth and self-reflection. The teacher can personalize the sequences and make us see our strengths and improvement points. Human copes are not all the same, for some people certain asanas may not be recommended, the yoga teacher helps practitioners to know the shape of their body and allows a safe yoga practice.
CONCLUSION
Online yoga can be an excellent support for practicing yoga regularly by being available at all times. However, the figure of a good in-presence yoga teacher who can give feedback and help us in alignments, posture and knowing our body is indispensable. Yoga is not a solo path; it needs confrontation in order to gain awareness.
