Yoga Live
What is a LIVESTREAM class?
These are classes taught in real time with a live teacher and students who connect virtually through Zoom.
How do I get into a class?
You’re one click away! Register for class, click the “view broadcast” link on the calendar page about 5–10 minutes before class, and you’re in. Make sure you are logged in when you look for the link. If you try to join before 10 minutes prior to class and don’t see the link, refresh your browser a little closer to the start time of class. Please note that if nobody is signed up for virtual class by 2 hours before class, it may switch to in-person only. This will be clear on the calendar.
If you still have questions, contact us and we’ll talk you through it.

OK but what’s it like to take a yoga class online?
Read on! Here’s what people are saying…
“As a former teacher at UVY, I've very much missed practicing with the UVY family since moving to Arkansas. When the COVID-19 shutdown hit, I desperately needed some yoga. Being able to access classes online has been a mental and physical lifesaver for me. While I miss the teacher being able to look at my asana and provide suggestions for improvements and the camaraderie of the community, nothing else is missing! The UVY family has done an outstanding job of pivoting to virtual classes, keeping our much needed yoga bliss accessible. Thank you, Upper Valley Yoga, for continuing to be there for the community.

“I am grateful for UVY’s online classes. Practicing together without leaving our homes is much easier to fit into a day. I feel many benefits of class, free from travel time commitments. When I am at home with guidance of familiar voices, I am more likely to make a practice my own, to go inward and do variations that are right for me.”
— Jane
“I have found the UVY zoom interface to be super easy (and I am NOT a high tech person!) I have never had any trouble seeing and hearing the instructor. I have had the chance to try classes that I might not otherwise fit into my schedule, because my "commute" the the studio is now so short! Now that I think about it, I have actually been able to fit MORE yoga into my life on a consistent basis! I do look forward to being in the studio with fellow yogis one day, but for now, I feel so grateful to have this option.”
— Jenny
“I was a bit skeptical at first as to whether "zoom yoga" would appeal to me, but I am definitely a convert! …Having access to live online classes makes me feel part of a community of others practicing at the same time, and I enjoy seeing familiar faces week to week.“
— Julie
“Online yoga is an essential part of my day. It brings me to the peace and centering I feel on the yoga mat, with the guidance of a skilled teacher, as if in my own home. In these odd, contagious times, my body/soul/spirit needs connections with other beings. What better way than to move through poses, breathing with others”
— Laura
“…it is you who should be thanked and congratulated for your Herculean efforts to keep yoga in our daily lives.
Your calm demeanor, articulated delivery are in direct contrast to the crazy, scary, chaotic world around us. Yoga comforts me, calms me and gives me a weekly schedule to look forward to.
I know you’re working so hard at this and truly, the Upper Valley salutes you and thanks you.
— Margie
“Of course I dearly miss our beautiful saffron-hued studio, but having video access to our UVY community, classes, and teachers has made all the difference in the world. I actually find that I attend more classes than I did in person as I can decide on the spur of any moment (no commute!) that I need to pop in to soothe my spirit, stretch my body, or see my friends. UVY online is like a lifeline and definitely one of the most important resources I have for maintaining physical health and a bright outlook.”
— Brooke
We’re in this together!
“In this strange netherworld of the last couple of months, Upper Valley Yoga has provided a calming metronome. I have especially found the early morning classes to be a centering start to the day with a perfect combination of shared silence, stretching movement and active poses. Thank you for allowing my days to be so deliberate.”
—Jane
“Thank you to UVY for helping me to stay sane in these difficult times.”
— Gill
“Initially, I was quite surprised by the quality of instruction that could still be achieved through on-line classes, but, of course, I shouldn’t have been, given how talented the Upper Valley Yoga instructors are. In some ways, this is the perfect time and way to start a yoga practice if you’ve never had one, and it’s definitely a great way to continue one during these stressful times. …What a gift!!”
— Deb
“Thank you to all of the instructors at Upper Valley Yoga, for moving their classes online during the pandemic. From my first online Hatha class with Sharon in mid-March through to this morning's sunrise class with Leslie, I have been uplifted and nourished each and every time I take a class. The Zoom classes are easy to access and though the classes are online, I feel a strong connection with the Upper Valley Yoga community and get a lot out of the classes physically, mentally, and spiritually. I am so grateful for the connection during these times!”
