What I liked: Adriene’s friendly, personal style made me look forward to the lessons – even in the morning. The pace, focus on breathing and being-kind-to-yourself philosophy is perfect for a beginner.

I went for a 30-day trial and eased in gently. My experience: If you type in yoga for beginners, there’s so many videos to choose – almost too many. There are 30-day journeys, bootcamps and one-off sessions for everything, all hosted by the charming Adriene. What it does: Adriene Mishler’s cool, down-to-earth, girl-next-door YouTube yoga videos are a global phenomenon. What I didn’t like: After a try out, you need to pay to carry on using it - however, it is only £7.99 a month, so that’s a great deal. What I liked: I loved how simple it was to follow the poses in the video and the fact you can even pick your own tunes!

You can change the voice of the commentator, the length of the practise, what you want to boost (such as back strength or flexibility) and if you want a full practise or just sun salutations. My experience: It’s designed so simply with drop down menus to tailor a very personal yoga experience. What it does: Down Dog is fully customisable: the videos aren’t just ‘set’ pre-recorded ones, but thousands of configurations so you can personalise the practise to yourself.

What I didn’t like: There is a limited number of free workouts. There is a calendar section where you can keep a streak going - a great way to follow your yoga journey and motivate yourself. What I liked: You can keep track of your weight, if that is one of your goals. I found it less ‘authentic’ than watching a real person and would like more guidance in the commentary, but it’s a great app if you’re looking for something quick and easy. My experience: The video shows an animated figure doing the poses with commentary and relaxing music to ease you. You can also use it to book local classes. What it does: Gym, spa and wellness online. Meanwhile, here are five apps that I enjoyed and rated, and one I intend to continue to use. But once you’re ready, you can take your pocket yoga class anywhere – to the park, beach or away travelling.Īll I had to fork out for was a yoga mat, so I went for the Yogamatters Eco Travel Yoga Mat (pictured right) because it’s super lightweight, recyclable, biodegradable and made from natural materials - in my book worth £35. Of course, an online teacher can’t adjust your asana to make sure you are doing it right, so it might be worth doing it in front of a mirror until you feel more confident. You basically prop your phone at the end of your mat, choose your class and hit play. Many offer a huge variety of classes for every level and need, from yoga for sleep to yoga for a serious workout.
But who needs to these days? There are plenty of yoga apps and YouTubers who can give you an online one-to-one lesson for free. I’m very much a yoga newbie, got seriously into it at uni but, like most people, I don’t have the time or cash to commit to a class.
