The Best Apps and Online Classes for Yoga At Home

Sometimes the effort of actually going to a gym or class is all it takes to put us off. It gives us the opportunity to forget our kit. It might be a cost we can’t quite afford right now.

But this really shouldn’t put us off having a stretch everyday. You can use these apps/online classes anywhere, on your phone or laptop or TV. All you need is to take a moment, check you’re wearing something comfy and clear a little space for your body and your mind…
