How many times have you said to yourself, "I so need to do more yoga," only to fall prey to the demands of a too-packed schedule or a too-tight budget?  In 2006, a perfect solution was dreamed up in Denver, CO by folks who were themselves becoming increasingly concerned about the difficulty and expense of enjoying yoga classes. So, as a result, Yoga Download was born.

Yoga Download students practice yoga in unusual places — from living rooms and airport gates to mountaintops and sun-drenched beaches in faraway lands. Dreamed up by a team of devoted yoga students and teachers, the site — which has been lauded by the New York Times and Body + Soul — enables visitors to stream or download a constantly-updated selection of more than 300 professionally recorded audio and video yoga classes onto a computer or mobile device. The classes are led by top certified instructors, who guide students through disciplines ranging from the more vigorous Vinyasa to the more gentle Hatha yoga.

In addition to the selection of video classes and audio podcasts, which can last five minutes (for a quick stretch session) or 90 minutes for a full practice, the site's printable PDF pose guides help students move at their own pace in line with their unique schedules. For full control over their yoga experience, the easily searchable catalog of classes allows students to filter classes by instructor, skill level, and intensity. And with streams starting at $1.99, classes are affordable and attainable for all.

For the teacher, by the teacher, Yoga Download is an outlet for deeply talented yoga teachers to share their gifts and practice with a global audience. And to that, we can only say, namaste.
