We know that we should get our namaste on and at least try out a yoga class (after all, the practice is known to increase strength and flexibility and alleviate depression and anxiety).

But as yoga’s popularity has risen, so has its price. And if you don’t like to get all bendy and sweaty in a group class with a bunch of other people, well, it’s not surprising that a private lesson with yoga teachers will cost you major cash.

Thankfully, there are a number of free online yoga classes for all levels that not only cost absolutely nothing, but also allow you to do different styles of yoga and get that daily burn within the privacy of your own home.

You can find free yoga videos on YouTube, with options ranging from core-centric to short and effective to those that offer relief for specific target areas. There is something for every newbie or experienced yogi to enjoy. Go get your "Om" on without having to go to any yoga studios!
