Tips for Making the Most of Your Virtual Yoga & Meditation Classes

​

1. Create Your Sanctuary:
Find a quiet, clutter-free space in your home and make it feel special. Add a meditation pillow, crystals, a candle, or a bundle of sage—anything that makes the space warm and inviting.

​

2. Set the Mood with Lighting:
Choose lighting that soothes you and matches your mood, whether it’s soft daylight or the glow of a salt lamp.

​

3. Communicate with Loved Ones:
Let your family or housemates know when your class will take place. Ask them to honor your peaceful time and give you space for your practice.

​

4. Gather Your Props:
Props help you access greater comfort and support, making your practice truly nourishing. Use them liberally for alignment, to deepen postures, or to ease off in moments that feel intense. 
 

Prema recommends having the following props available:

• 3 blankets or towels

• 2 bolsters or large cushions

• 1 small cushion or folded blanket

• 2 yoga blocks

• Yoga mat (thicker for Yin & Restorative, regular thickness for Gentle Hatha)

​

5. Enhance Your Experience with Music:
Prema curates playlists on Spotify. For commercial-free listening and access to playlists, consider a Spotify membership. No account is needed to listen, but members enjoy uninterrupted music.

 

6. Practice on an Empty Stomach:
For comfort, avoid eating at least 2 hours before yoga. If you’re hungry, have just a light snack, such as fruit. Water, tea, or coffee are fine 15 minutes before class.

 

7. Honor Your Needs:
Always listen to your body and trust your intuition. If a posture doesn’t feel right, gently release and modify as needed.

 

Prema’s yoga classes help you connect with your body, not fight against it. Be sweet to yourself and stay safe. Prema is here for your questions, before, during, and after class.
