Yoga Podcasts

The following podcasts are mostly for the intermediate/advanced yoga practitioner, although some of these websites offer mixed level or exclusively beginners classes. I've included the most popular styles of yoga such as vinyasa flow, Jivamukti and Anusara.

New classes are added weekly to these live class recordings, keeping your practice interesting. Although yogi Wade teaches Ashtanga based classes, each class has a different anatomical theme, incorporating the less practiced asanas such as the crocodile pose. As all classes are 90 minutes long, it feels like a real yoga class.
