In March 2020, many of us who teach yoga and fitness quickly pivoted to online content for our clients. We searched YouTube to figure out the best cameras, mics, lighting, and platforms. I had no idea at that time that teaching online was here to stay!

My tech setup has evolved after the initial rush to get online. In the beginning, I used the popular Logitech C920 webcam, and now I prefer to use my iPhone as a webcam.

Even after completing teacher training, many new teachers are unsure of how and when to teach Ujjayi in their classes. This uncertainty is partly due to the variety of ways different yoga styles approach the practice. Ujjayi, meaning “victorious breath,” is a foundational pranayama (breathing regulation) practice that encourages smooth, even breathing. The throat is gently constricted to create a soft, whisper-like sound as the yogi breathes in and out through the nose.
