Here are the top three reasons that people do not do yoga...
There is a wealth of evidence to show the amazing physical and mental health benefits of yoga.
And yet, not many of the people who want to start yoga, actually does it, and I wanted to find out why that was. So I surveyed a group of people on social media groups, and asked them what were the main barriers to them starting yoga.
The top 3 answers were:
The Barriers
- lack of time / cannot commit to a regular class
- not flexible / fit enough
- self conscious about being a beginner in a class of experienced people
​
Can you relate to these barriers?
With this in mind, I set about coming up with an online yoga programme that would overcome all of these barriers, empowering people to make yoga a part of their everyday life - no matter what their starting point is - so that they can take part in full, 1 hour yoga classes on a regular basis.
I want to show you the solution
The result is the Chi Living Yoga Pathway; a graduated range of online yoga classes that will take you from a complete beginner to a confident yoga practitioner; with yoga and mindfulness a part of your everyday life.

The Chi Living Yoga Pathway
The Chi Living Yoga Pathway is made up of 4 self contained courses:
​
Start your yoga journey - 5 x fifteen minute yoga classes for the complete beginner.
​
​
​
Your next yoga steps - 2 x 30 minute classes and 1 x 60 minute class for people starting out one their yoga journey.
​
​
​
Going deeper - a diverse selection of 7 classes, varying in time length and level of challenge.
Given that the average cost of a single yoga class in the UK is £11, these courses are amazingly good value.
​
But that is nothing compared to the Chi Living Life package

So let’s revisit those three main barriers to starting yoga
Lack of time / Cannot commit to a regular class
It doesn’t matter if you cannot make it to a regular weekly class. It doesn’t matter if sometimes you can only manage 15 minutes before your life commitments take over.
Chi Living online yoga classes follow exactly the same format as my face to face classes - so it it just like being in a live yoga class.
The HUGE advantage is that you have unlimited access to the videos you have purchased, meaning that you can pause, rewind, repeat, and break down the classes into smaller chunks; and if you are feeling energetic you can string videos together to make up even longer classes. All from the comfort of your own home, at a time that suits you best.
Not flexible / Not fit enough
It doesn’t matter if you have never stepped onto a yoga mat before in your life, and it certainly doesn’t matter if you can’t touch your toes!
Because with Chi Living yoga videos you can start as a complete beginner with super-gentle classes that last just 15 minutes. You don’t need any equipment, and you can do these classes in your own home, in your own time, at your own pace; pausing classes whenever you need to, and coming back to the classes over and over again until you are ready to move on. If you want to stay at 15 minutes of gentle yoga, then there are lots of videos that will suit you, and if you want to progress, you can do so at your own pace using class videos that have been designed specifically to build on the previous class.
Self conscious about being a beginner in a class of experienced people
You don't need to be flexible, you don't need to be fit, you can be any age or body type or gender, any age, and you can be from any background. 
Chi Living Yoga was established to reach out to everyday people like you and me; people who want to find out more about a yoga lifestyle and mindfulness in an accessible and easy to understand way. With Chi Living you can discover the amazing physical and mental health benefits of yoga on your own terms. You will learn yoga and mindfulness in a totally pressure free environment - your own home.
