Yoga With Adriene
With over 4.8 million subscribers, Adriene Mishler is the undisputed queen of YouTube yoga. Quirky, down-to-earth, and very much someone that you’d want to be best friends with. When I’m “in a mood,” she’s my go-to pick-me-up; her light-hearted, refreshing presence usually dissolves said mood within minutes.
Purple Valley Ashtanga Yoga
Ashtanga is a style of yoga that links breath to movement, similar to a vinyasa flow class, but is faster-moving, more systematic, and has earned a reputation for being somewhat intense.
Because of that, ashtanga can be intimidating for some people
There’s no better way to get initiated with ashtanga than with one-on-one instruction from some of the world’s leading instructors.
The Purple Valley channel regularly features classes with renowned instructors, such as Deepika Mehta, David Robson, and Kino Macgregor. It’s also ripe with overall wellness tips, chanting and meditation videos, and videos that break down the basics of Ayurveda.
Body Positive Yoga
Body Positive Yoga founder Amber Karnes describes herself as “a big yogi with a ‘big asana’ and a big heart.”
Karnes’ videos cover many helpful tips and modifications for practitioners of all sizes, from performing chaturanga properly to overcoming the sticky spots of sun salutations.
She’s a big fan of using props but is always mindful about offering substitutes that can easily be found around the house (like a belt or tie instead of a strap).
Karnes is also super open about her own relationship with her body, and addresses topics like how to handle negative thoughts and resist the pressure of diet culture, to encourage her followers to develop greater self-compassion and confidence both on and off the mat.
Spirit Voyage
While Ashtanga is physically demanding, kundalini is a style of yoga that’s more focusing on the spiritual aspect. It’s deeply focusing on things like the mind and body connection, consciousness expansion, increasing awareness, and activating energy throughout the body (via ayurvedic medicine as the “chakras,” or energy centers). Despite the growing number of yoga studios in the U.S., kundalini classes are much less common than flow classes.
If you want to focus on the spiritual aspects of yoga, such as breathwork, chanting, and hand gestures, Spirit Voyage is a wonderful channel to help you get familiar with kundalini. The ultimate goal is spiritual transformation, but in the meantime, all the breathwork is incredibly energizing. The Spirit Voyage channel features various kundalini greats to guide you through unique classes and meditations.
