How the session works

Step 1 - set up your space

Grab a mat, find a quiet space, and turn up the lights! Place your computer, tablet, or smartphone far enough from you so your instructor can see your body. Don't worry, your instructor will guide you through this at the beginning of the session!

Step 2 - set up your tech

You will use Zoom video conferencing for the live sessions. You will receive a link to your call via email from The Nourished Body.

If you are joining for the first time, you can download the plugin (if on a computer) or the app (if on a phone or tablet) before the call. Alternatively, you can join the session via a link on your internet browser.

Step 3 - set up your body

Make sure to have your doctor's clearance before taking your session and be prepared to let your instructor know of any physical issues you might be experiencing.

Wear something comfortable (a lighter shade of clothing (at least top) is preferable and makes it easier for your instructor to see your alignment) and your instructor will help you do the rest!
