Whether you’re overseas, not local, housebound, or you just can’t make it in to the studio today our livestream service is the one! Almost all of our classes and events are available to stream and we’re so happy to welcome our online friends into our in-person community. We invite you to invite Yoga Lounge into your lounge (or wherever you’re practicing today).
We look forward to connecting with you as we bend, stretch and find strength together online. Here are the simple instructions, and if you have any questions you’re sure to find the answers to them in the FAQ section below.
Book into class as normal, but select the livestream option.
Download the Zoom app, to your computer, tablet or phone. Live streaming will work best on your computer screens as the teacher will be bigger and easier to see.
Once you’ve signed in for class you’ll receive an invite via email to join the live session around half an hour before class starts.
Please make sure you ‘mute’ your Zoom but if you’re not shy please allow video so that we can interact with you and provide tips and feedback.
Booking
-
Click on ‘book online’ in our site header, this will link you to the YL MINDBODY site, choose your class and log in.
If you have an existing package, membership or class card this will be attached to your account. For signing in you need the email address you gave us on joining and a password... no password? Then click on 'Create Password'.
When you’ve signed into a class you’ll first receive a confirmation and then an invite via email to join the live session around half an hour before class starts. (This will be from Fitgrid not Yoga Lounge. Be sure to check your social or junk inboxes as they may land in there!).
For all our lovely couples out there, we ask that if you are both practicing from home please can you both sign in to the class, we really would like to keep our numbers as accurate as possible. We still need to pay our teachers fairly and you will still receive class points for any attendance!
-
Please don't click create account, this will create a 2nd account in your name without your package information. (If you think you've slipped up here, no worries we can merge your accounts just let us know!). Once you're signed into your exisitng account you need to book each class to receive the invitation link as they are all different.

Download the Zoom app, to your computer, tablet or phone.
Live-streaming will work best on your computer screens as the teacher will be bigger and easier to see.

We will start the class roughly 15 minutes before the start time to check sound and visuals and connect with you all. If you have joined the meeting and receive a message that says the host is on another call it just means we haven't hit start yet - eager beavers!
Also you need to press the blue button that says Join with computer audio, so you can hear us.
-
Please make sure you ‘mute’ (bottom left) your Zoom but if you’re not shy please allow video (next to the mute button also bottom left) so that we can interact with you and provide tips and feedback. We love seeing all your faces during these classes and its a great way to stay part of this amazing community we have built together.
If we can see you, it just means we can assist with corrections and adjustments and we can all wave at each other in an endlessly endearing but goofy way!!!
Setting the scene
-
Have you realised that you need props?!
Perhaps you don't have a mat?
Need some blocks for your Yin practice or just the extra length of a strap?
Slipping and sliding around? Our mats are all grippy and can be machine washed if they get sweaty or dirty in the garden! If this isn't enough stick we also have a variety of grip mat towels.
These are now available to purchase through our Online Store via Mind Body. (Hit button below)
Please send through a copy of your receipt to us via email info@yoga-lounge.co.uk and specify which colour mat / towel you would like.
We will then bring them to your doorstep as long as you are local (2 miles from studio) for FREE and wave longingly at you from the car!

Dedicate a space (if you have enough of it) that you can transform into your yoga space.
Try and create a sense of calm here. Declutter, clear and try to make sure you won’t be disturbed.
For classes with music we are sharing our playlists on the zoom chat before class or on our Instagram and Facebook stories, try and organise this before your class.
Put your mat out and have your blocks or other props handy, cushions, blankets etc so you can sit, rest and relax on or under during your practice and savasana.
If you’re practicing a class that is meant for a hot room then get the heating on if you like or drink something warm to heat you up from the inside.
Get comfy in your space, light a candle or some incense and maybe get your crystals around you, this is your time that you are dedicating to yourself, so make it yours!
