My home practice was robust and consistent, but I also regularly attended classes taught by other teachers at local studios, once or twice a week. Online yoga classes were not yet on my radar.<\/p>\n<p>On an average day, I\u2019d practice for 30-45 minutes at home, usually sequencing my personal practice like the classes I taught \u2014 a few warm ups and a little flow before building into a \u201cfancy\u201d pose.<\/p>\n<p>On a really good day, I\u2019d do an hour of yoga in the morning and then go to a 60-90 minute yoga class in the afternoon or evening.<\/p>\n<p>I assumed that once I had my baby, I\u2019d easily be able to get back into my daily home practice, plus a weekly class at a studio.<\/p>\n<p>I was a movement professional. How hard could it be?<\/p>\n<p>Turns out, very hard.<\/p>\n<p>Everything changed when my first child was born.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the obvious \u2014 my body, my energy, and the fact that I was now responsible for keeping a tiny human alive \u2014 I no longer knew how to poop without freaking out, much less manage a daily yoga practice.<\/p>\n<p>Getting to a class outside of my home was utterly out of the question. It took me more than a year after my first pregnancy to figure out how to restart my home practice, but it took me much longer to make it back to a studio for classes and I never went again regularly.<\/p>\n<p>Studio classes are fantastic, but most aren\u2019t really built with <a href=\"https:\/\/fitbottomedgirls.com\/2019\/09\/podcast-eps-all-new-moms-should-download\/\">#momlife<\/a> in mind.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-315912 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/fitbottomedgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-09-19-at-4.19.09\u202fPM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"787\" height=\"461\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-315912 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/fitbottomedgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-09-19-at-4.19.09\u202fPM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"787\" height=\"461\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fitbottomedgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-09-19-at-4.19.09\u202fPM.png 2660w, https:\/\/fitbottomedgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-09-19-at-4.19.09\u202fPM-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/fitbottomedgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-09-19-at-4.19.09\u202fPM-1024x600.png 1024w, https:\/\/fitbottomedgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-09-19-at-4.19.09\u202fPM-768x450.png 768w, https:\/\/fitbottomedgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-09-19-at-4.19.09\u202fPM-1536x900.png 1536w, https:\/\/fitbottomedgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-09-19-at-4.19.09\u202fPM-2048x1200.png 2048w, https:\/\/fitbottomedgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-09-19-at-4.19.09\u202fPM-150x88.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 787px) 100vw, 787px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, online classes are fantastic for moms (and I know it\u2019s not just me because I run <a href=\"https:\/\/conscioushealthymama.com\/move-with-naomi\/\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\">an online studio<\/a> of super short practices, specifically for moms) and I\u2019m going to give you my top 5 reasons why moms can have a better yoga practice with online classes than they would at a studio.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Online yoga classes can be done anytime, anywhere.<\/strong><br \/>Most studio classes have limited schedule options and not all are particularly mom-life friendly. When you do online classes, you can fit them into your schedule \u2014 especially a busy schedule that doesn\u2019t stay the same week to week. The \u201canywhere\u201d piece is also important. You can roll out your mat next to your bed, first thing in the morning if that works for you. You can do yoga in your living room with AirPods in while your kid watches Bluey or you can do yoga in your kitchen while you\u2019re waiting for your coffee to brew. You can even take yoga with you on vacation if you have an internet connection. Having portable, accessible yoga is life changing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. You don\u2019t need childcare.<\/strong><br \/>Childcare is a huge challenge for moms in general and not just for a weekly yoga class. It can be an extra expense, in addition to the cost of the class, but it\u2019s also a lot of labor to line up a sitter or friend or fellow parent. With online yoga, you don\u2019t need childcare. Yes, if you practice at home while kids are around that might mean you get interrupted by a kid who needs a snack or their butt wiped, which is not ideal. But moving for a little bit or stopping then starting again is way better than not doing any movement at all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Online classes are customizable.<\/strong><br \/>You can choose practices that best support your needs.<br \/>Breastfeeding and have tight shoulders?\u00a0<a class=\"c-link external\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/i23g1AY4si0?si=VDPdm-46-BSVFPhz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/i23g1AY4si0?si=VDPdm-46-BSVFPhz\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">Here\u2019s one of my free classes for that.<\/a><br \/>Have a toddler at home with you and you still want to move your body? <a class=\"c-link external\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/KN8Q8fNFaik?si=RtJ6GAVIoNNHDtj9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/KN8Q8fNFaik?si=RtJ6GAVIoNNHDtj9\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">Here\u2019s one for that.<\/a><br \/>Hips feeling tight and you have no idea how long your kid will nap?\u00a0<a class=\"c-link external\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/cUD2hc6ypME?si=i1KrDDAqiplQuDwB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/cUD2hc6ypME?si=i1KrDDAqiplQuDwB\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">Here\u2019s one for that.<\/a><br \/>Online yoga makes it very easy to give yourself exactly what you need.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Online yoga is more affordable.<\/strong><br \/>This might be the most controversial reason I share, but as a mom with 3 kids, budgeting is important. Yoga on YouTube is free. Online studios typically cost $10\/month to $60\/month. Considering that you can take a yoga class everyday at home if you wanted to, those memberships are more bang for your buck than a $25 drop in class plus $$ for childcare that you might only manage to do once a month, if you\u2019re lucky.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Online yoga takes less time.<\/strong><br \/>It used to be that online yoga classes were just like studio classes, only filmed. They were long (60-90 minutes) and frankly, inefficient. Now you can find 5 minute morning yoga classes, 6 minute standing core flows, and so much more. There are yoga programs built around quick practices that make the most of your time instead of feeling like a time suck. I wish this had existed when I was a first time mom, because it\u2019s definitely what I needed.<\/p>\n<p>Motherhood is unpredictable. You need classes that are simple, quick, efficient, and fun. That\u2019s where online yoga, when it\u2019s done well, truly shines. Online yoga is ideal for busy moms who need something quick and effective, but that also feels good in our bodies. Because getting to a yoga class shouldn\u2019t feel like a chore; it should feel like a gift to yourself.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Ever tried online yoga?
