In March of 2020, many of us who teach yoga and fitness quickly pivoted to online content for our clients. We searched YouTube trying to figure out the best cameras, mics, lighting, and platforms. I had no idea at that time, that in 2024 I’d still be teaching yoga online! After the initial rush to get online my tech set up has really evolved. I now believe the Logitech webcam all the techy Youtubers told us to buy wasn’t really the best for all of our needs when instructing yoga classes. Don’t get me wrong, it is a great webcam for some situations! In this post, I’ll share how to get the most out of the popular Logitech cam if you already purchased one. I’ll also include some alternatives that I’ve found work better for me when teaching yoga online including using 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.
