Our definition of the spa experience expands beyond the world of facials and massages. For us, the spa state-of-mind also incorporates healthy eating, mindful movement and an inner core draped in gratitude and generosity. We also believe that you don’t have to shell out your life savings to carve out your own slice of spa. So in the spirit of mindful movement, we dug up what we think are among the best free YouTube yoga classes and amp up your own home spa fit-ability.
Oh, and why yoga? Yoga is a practice accessible to anyone at any physical level. It also widely found at resort and destination spas across the globe. But don’t worry, once you start looking, you’ll find free videos on everything from zumba to belly dancing! Now on to the best free yoga videos.

Yoga for Kids (and Laughs)
Got kids? YouTube also has a ton of free yoga videos geared toward kids. Among them, Cosmic Kids Yoga is wildly popular for their high-energy colorful sessions. Of course, a great place to start with your child is to practice alongside him or her. Be patient though. Yoga is an imperfect practice, no matter where you are or who you are with. Here’s a video that might make you smile. Namaste.

I really like My Joy Yoga because they actually allow you to stream yoga classes live out of their studio. They have an on-demand video library that you can access 24/7, but they also allow you to register for classes on their online scheduling system for live stream classes. It’s nice because they offer a wide array of classes like power yoga, acro, restorative, pilates, prenatal, etc. I would definitely check it out if I were you: https://www.myjoyyoga.com
