Yoogaia

A friend of mine (thanks Kati!) recently posted on her FB page a code for a free two-week trial on yoogaia.com. Since I haven't been able to find any ashtanga or bikram (aka hot) yoga classes here in Caen, I was quite happy to try out this new service.

I have to say that so far I haven't been disappointed. I started my trial period a week ago and now that I've tested a couple of yoga classes and and a barre tone and a stretch class (both live sessions and recordings), I'm quite tempted to take on a subscription. The Yoogaia instructors are nice and the classes pretty varied and very efficient. At first, the idea of web yoga may sound a bit weird, but it's amazing how easily you can forget that you're actually working out in your own living-room (well, at least when your cat isn't trying to invade your yoga mat) and - if you're brave enough - you can even use your own web cam to connect to the class. It really is like a live yoga class.

Now if only they could also propose bikram yoga classes on line, it'd be perfect - although I don't think I could heat up my apartment up to 40 degrees (or even 20 C for that matter...)!

Here's the code for anyone interested: YOOGAIATRIAL2015 

Hope you enjoy it as much as I have!
