🎥 Camera-On Classes

Ompractice has helped me to explore new ways of connecting with and challenging myself. Every week there are a variety of classes and opportunities to explore. The teachers have all been excellent and to my amazement in three months I have logged in 25+ hours of class time. I look forward to the classes and appreciate the positive impact they are having on my mind and body!

I was apprehensive about an online class but after stepping out of my comfort zone I thought it was amazing.

Ompractice is a live online yoga/meditation platform like no other. I love that I don’t need to go anywhere to take a yoga class, especially great with a 5 year old at home. The classes are live which holds me accountable to get on the mat and allows the teacher to give helpful personalized cues. Ompractice is a great place for beginners because the classes are accessible and teachers give cues to keep you safe.

For years, I trekked to the gym for my weekly yoga class. I loved the class and the instructor, but I did not love traveling through ice and snow to get there. Now I do yoga practice at home in the cozy space I have set up. I love that I can work at my own pace and at different times that work for me.

Ompractice is an online community of people who celebrate yoga. The teachers are wonderful - they make every practice meaningful and it feels like we are in class together. I have been practicing with Ompractice since the pandemic. I love Ompractice and can't imagine my life without it. One piece of advice: Try many different classes -- there are so many to choose from that you'll find the classes that are best for you.

I love Ompractice and recommend it to everyone. What works for me: the early morning, bite-size classes, the variety of classes, the ease of use of the website and Zoom interface. The diversity of instructors. Love! Also, the price structure and friends/fam opportunity. Very humane, very welcoming, very well-done!
