We are a completely virtual studio and all of our classes are online in real time.

As long as you have an internet connection, you can join from wherever you are.

All our classes and events take place on Zoom. To join, you'll need a tablet or computer that supports the latest version of Zoom. Download Zoom here.

If you enjoy listening to music during practice, we provide Spotify playlists. You may want to have Spotify installed as well. Get Spotify here.

As a first step, you should talk to your healthcare team about your condition as it relates to practicing yoga. Your team can provide you with any movement restrictions or cautions.

While in class, you should feel very free to modify the practice so that you feel comfortable in both your body and your mind. This might mean doing something different, doing less, or skipping a section of the practice altogether.

Yoga instructors are not qualified healthcare providers and cannot diagnose or treat any condition. Therefore, instructors’ cues are always suggestions. You know your body and your situation best. Please do what is right for you.

After registering for a class, you'll receive an email with the props needed. A yoga mat is always recommended for safety and comfort.

Check out this video we made on setting up your space (without spending a ton of money).

Here are some common props and household alternatives:

• Yoga block → Thick book or chair

• Yoga strap → Belt, robe tie, or towel

• Blanket → Towel

• Bolster → Pillows or rolled-up towels

• Journal & pen

Props can be found online or in stores. For eco-friendly, affordable options, check out Yogamatters.

Yoga is not a form of qualified healthcare and does not diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition.

Similarly, psychologically-sensitive and trauma-sensitive yoga are not substitutes for qualified mental healthcare. These terms simply mean that the practices are attuned in order to be more accessible for those who have experienced trauma.

We encourage all students to consult their healthcare providers before practicing and to modify movements and other practices as needed.

At Onward Light, we value science and recognize the essential role of Western healthcare. As yoga teachers, we work within our scope of practice, which is presenting general yoga teachings with the option to take what is useful and modify or leave what is not. Our hope is that yoga serves as a supportive complement to a well-rounded healthcare plan.

We’d be happy to help! Please email us at hello@onward.community. We can either correspond via email about your needs or schedule a short Zoom session to discuss what you’re looking for and what class might work best for you.

We are passionate about teaching live online classes so that we can say hello, get to know you, and create community. For that reason, our classes are all online in real time.

We do have a full library of recorded classes that you can subscribe to if that is better for your schedule.

Kindly give us an hour's notice if you need to cancel your registration to avoid a charge.

You will receive a message from noreply@goteamup.com (please add this to your “safe senders” list in your email provider). The message will contain a link to the Zoom classroom. If you can’t find it, check your “junk” folder or reach out to us at hello@onward.community.
