The Yoga Collective for Zen and Sweat

May 10, 2015 By Sam Sly Leave a Comment

 

 

Summer is a great time for yoga whether it be hatha, power or vinyasa. While I am not a serious yogi, I find that regularly practicing helps with my balance, core strength, flexibility and means I am less likely to experience headaches or aches and pains. I also sleep better and have more energy.

The Yoga Collective is an excellent source of online yoga classes. I previously posted a mini-review of the yoga collective and hosted a giveaway for a one year subscription to the Yoga Collective (see my previous post here). 

Now that I have had a chance to follow more of the practices, will review the service in a little more detail.

The Yoga Collective offers online classes in a variety of yoga styles including restorative, vinyasa, power and more!
Some examples of the kind of classes available at The Yoga Collective. The images & titles are screen captures directly from the Yoga Collective Website.

What I Like About The Yoga Collective: 

I love the variety found on the Yoga Collective. I found the instructors are excellent and the instruction high quality. I like that I can find a practice that suits the time I have available.

I also like that the studio is well-lit and most of the movements were clearly visible. They do occasionally they would do a facial close-up where a full length shot would be more useful.

I like that I can usually find a practice that meets my needs at the moment. If I feel tight in the hips, I do a hip opening sequence (amazing after hours at the desk!). If I have a headache and nice restorative or relaxing practice helps. If I need a workout I can try a nice power flow.

 

The Yoga Collective Online Streaming Classes Might Not Be For You If:

There are a lot of fantastic streaming workout subscription services. I sometimes find it hard to focus on online streaming classes. It may not be for you if you really prefer personal interaction in a live class or higher video production values. The Yoga Collective production values are pretty high as far as online classes go, however they are not as high as some of the bigger budget workout DVDs.

The instructors tend to stand or walk around and verbally instruct the class while the background exercisers (students) do the exercises. Sometimes the camera focuses on the instructors and not the students. The truth is I rarely watch the video screen unless unsure what to do. So this is only sometimes an issue and likely won’t bother people with a background in yoga as much as it would a newbie who needs to see a clear demonstration.

This may not be right for you if you need integrated music to enjoy a workout. I admit, I usually need music to stick to a workout. The Yoga Collective classes I tried did not include music. That doesn’t usually bother me as much with yoga compared to other workouts as I don’t usually like the “generic yoga music” many use anyway. However, if I need music I play my own and that works well.

All and all, I am still  impressed with the quality of these online classes just as I was in April when I posted the first review.
