“By looking them up ahead of time, you get to learn about their teaching styles and the type of yoga that they teach—vinyasa, Iyengar, hatha, or kundalini, for example,” she says.

Once you have some possibilities in mind, you should start with a shorter session. This will help you get a feel for the teacher and the kind of content they offer. “As you sample the channels and narrow the ones that resonate with you, you can increase the duration,” Cole says.

Additionally, it can also be helpful to find classes where the instructors offer multiple variations for each pose so that you can find a shape that works for you, rather than forcing your body into one set kind, says Freeman.

Keep on reading for the best YouTube yoga channels for yoga at home, so you can get your fix of everything from beginner yoga flows to challenging workout classes—or even just some simple stretching workouts and routines. All you need is one of the best yoga mats to get started!

The best beginner YouTube yoga videos

Yoga teacher Arundhati Baitmangalkar, an Indian immigrant, former Bollywood dancer, and choreographer, founded Aham Yoga, a studio based in Washington state that posts videos and offers online yoga classes daily. The channel is for anyone interested in yoga, including those who want to follow along with a workout—whether it’s a five-minute intro for beginners or a morning yoga flow— perfect their poses, or simply understand more about the practice of yoga. For people looking to delve a little deeper into its background, Baitmangalkar also hosts a podcast, Let’s Talk Yoga, where discusses things like the authenticity of yoga, cultural appropriation, accessibility, and yoga as self-care.

Adriene Mishler is one of the undisputed queens of YouTube yoga, which makes Yoga With Adriene a must-watch channel. Quirky, down-to-earth, and very much someone that you may want to be best friends with, it’s not surprising that Mishler has a fiercely loyal following.

Another reason for her massive popularity? Mishler lives and breathes by the motto “find what feels good.” All of her videos stress the importance of doing away with comparison and finding your own unique expression of each pose. Total newbies, or anyone who could use a refresher, can also benefit from her “Foundations of Yoga” series, which breaks down the basic alignment and benefits of tons of yoga poses for beginners.

Faith Hunter exudes that deep sense of peace and tranquility where you can’t help but wonder about her secret to life. The answer, it seems, is meditation—lots of it! Hunter offers a number of guided meditation videos in addition to her yoga classes, which lean on the relaxing-and-restorative side.

Check out her channel when you’re searching for a soothing flow with a soulful quality, rather than just a physical workout.

The Yoga Room totally sounds like a cozy place where you’d want to hang out, and this warm and fuzzy feeling definitely extends to its YouTube channel as well.

Yañez is super tranquil, and her intent is to help yoga practitioners of all shapes and sizes enjoy a safe, comfortable practice.
