We’re thrilled to have you!
Take a swing around the site, and you might notice that we do things a little differently around here than the online yoga you’ve tried!
How? All of our classes are live via two way video, with incredible teachers who are here to support your practice, help you build a habit, and encourage you to do more yoga! Our focus is on offering yoga classes for a range of students – be it your first class or your 50th, whether you are practicing to improve your flexibility, because your doctor recommended it, or just because you need some me-time.
Here’s a Peek at What Class Looks Like:

Why Classes are Different on Ompractice:
- We believe that every student deserves to be seen and supported by a great teacher.
- We believe that everyone deserves access to great teachers: whether you live in New York City, Seattle, a small town, or across the oceans in Melbourne – with Ompractice you have access to a great teacher who actually can see and get to know you! Our students become “regulars” just like at a brick and mortar studio.
- With Ompractice, you actually *do* the class you set out to do – let’s face it – how many times have you popped in a tape, DVD, or clicked on a Youtube yoga video with the intent to get in some yoga and then the siren song of a text message or something else distracts you?
🔎 What to Expect: Anatomy of an Ompractice Class
If you haven’t taken a class with us yet – here’s what you can expect!
💻 It’s easy to sign up – you can register in advance, or right before class. Once you register, you’ll get a link in your receipt to log in to class. You can take class right from your laptop or your phone – as long as it has a camera!
🧘 Be SEEN and TAUGHT by a great teacher. Ompractice is live via two way video so your teacher can see, support, and guide you through every class. No pre-recorded videos! Yup, that’s Lisa Rischitelli in the top left teaching the class. Her students are taking class from home.
👂 No craning your neck! Our teachers are skilled at guiding you through a class without needing to constantly look up at the screen.
💪 Get that class done! Finish refreshed and ready to take on your day.
All of our classes are live, via two way video, so your teacher can see and support you, just like a class you might take in a studio.
Okay, so the most common question we get asked: Can people see me? Yep, but we promise it’s not as weird as you think. One of the nice things about Ompractice is that you can focus on your practice rather than craning your neck and looking at a screen. Yes, you can see the other folks in your class, but we promise, nobody is staring at each other!

How to Set Up Your Space with Ompractice:
- Turn the Volume up on your device so you can hear well.
- Set up your mat 6-8 feet away from the camera, ideally with your mat at a 45 degree angle so the teacher can get a good view of you. (This is not required if you don’t have the space – we care more that you are practicing, not what your mat looks like.)
- Your teacher may ask you to adjust your camera partway through class if they can’t see you properly!
