How could you not love A Live Yogi! The convenience of doing a class where and when it suits the busy life style. The variety of classes offered is outstanding. It’s great the length of classes vary, from 10 -60 minutes. This is perfect for when I accidentally sleep in or have had a massive day work. But, the 5 stars go to the beautiful, experienced and flexible ladies on my screen. Well done
