We need to talk about Beachbody yoga classes as they have been on the rise since my last review of 3 Week Yoga Retreat.
I’ll be honest – I was kind of bored with the yoga on Beachbody on Demand (now BODi). The classes weren’t as varied as I would like and I’m a big fan of interesting yoga mixes like Yoga Sculpt, Power Yoga, etc.
Basically, I didn’t feel like there was enough variety, and when I needed to get my flow going, I started turning to Alo Moves, which I still think is a great resource for home workouts and mind-boy movement is.
However, since Beachody switched to live and interactive workouts (now BODi), they’ve totally stepped up their yoga game (along with their Pilates and Barre classes). There are now so many yoga classes for every level and application, such as yoga for cyclists, yoga for runners, etc.
But what excites me the most are these two new styles…
Beachbody Hip Hop Yoga
Oh, this is SO good! There are currently only a few of these classes on the platform, but more are being added all the time. I LOVE them because they focus on strength, flexibility, mobility and the mind-body connection. Plus the music is great!
I think Elise Joan is the only one teaching this format so far, which is great because I love her teaching style and choreography. She always creates moves that are both challenging and doable.
The hip-hop yoga classes are similar to a power yoga class and you can expect to work up a sweat but also end up with a calm mind and a full-body yoga feeling.
Beachbody Yoga Strength (yoga with weights)
You will know that I love weight yoga. This is probably my favorite workout of all time and as you may not know, I am also a certified Yoga Sculpt instructor. I initially completed my training through Core Power Yoga and I LOVE this format.
This sweaty, challenging and invigorating format uses typical yoga poses but spices them up to burn more fat and build strength too. It honestly feels so good and I had NO idea these courses existed on BODi. I’m so excited to go through them all!
Here’s what you need to know about Beachbody Yoga (now BODi Yoga).
- All yoga classes mentioned here last 30 minutes.
- Equipment required is a yoga mat and a block. Light weights are optional (but recommended)
- They are suitable for every fitness level. Elise Joan is really good at improving the moves for the stronger ones and making things less challenging for the newbies.
- You must have access to BODi, an upgrade from Beachbody on Demand, but it’s worth it.
How to get access to BODi
If you’re already a BODi member, don’t miss out on these great courses. There are so many options on the platform now that it’s easy to miss all the new things they’re adding. These classes in particular are pure gold.
If you’re not already a member of BODi (formerly known as Beachbody on Demand), I highly recommend you give it a try. Here you can grab the bundle package with a selection of supplements and workouts (the best deal they offer). If you just want access to all the workouts, you can get that deal right here.
I’ve been using this platform since 2015 and I LOVE it. I will never pay for a gym membership again and it is the one thing that has helped me maintain consistency over the last few years because it is easy and accessible.
