What is Gaiam Yoga

For many people, choosing the right variant of yoga to do can be a confusing choice. The types seem endless and it can be difficult to find the perfect match for your lifestyle and time requirements. When you find that you do not have enough time to go to a yoga center, Gaiam yoga proves to be the best choice. Gaiam is based on the philosophy that the earth is a living entity and honors mother nature and all things naturally organic and provides access to every style of yoga practice from the comfort of your own home, 24/7.

Gaiam Yoga

In 2016, Gaiam yoga was renamed as Gaia Yoga as part of the namesake company’s rebranding. Gaia Yoga is an online subscription service which means that you can perform your yoga session anywhere you have an internet connection, and at any time you want. This makes it absolutely perfect for those with crazy schedules who struggle to fit in yoga around their normal routine.

Gaia yoga was first established in boulder, Colorado in 1988 before becoming popularized in the united kingdom in the early 2000’s. It was originally created with online consumers in mind and now provides over 5000 films, documentaries, and workouts dedicated to yoga.

The yoga content can be streamed directly to any Tablet, PC or mobile phone and contains every type of yoga at every type of level. This allows the practitioner to select, for example, an intensive Ashtanga session at an intermediate level. On the site, there is a selection of drop down boxes that allow the user to choose the type, intensity, level, duration, teacher, and focus.

By bringing yoga to the user rather than the user to the yoga session it allows for every type of person to perform their desired yoga session as and when they feel they want to. This could be for the busy mom who can’t find time in the day to go to the gym, the businessman who only has some free time in the late evening or the teen who is afraid to go to join an actual yoga class in person.

Gaia truly opens the doors of yoga as wide as possible and allows inclusion for everybody. There are also informative videos on discovering your true self and plenty of historical and instructional videos detailing the history of yoga and what its benefits are.
