Takeout yoga
Can’t make it to a yoga class? No problem, just order a teacher to your home
I
t’s no big deal ordering a takeaway meal to your home these
days, so why not a great yoga class as well?
Yogi2Me (yogi2me.com) is a new service allowing users to
‘order’ a class straight to their door via a clever online app you
can access on your iPhone.
The Y2M app provides registered users with access to a leading
pool of top quality, carefully selected yoga teachers for a private
class, at their convenience – all without the hassle of leaving
their home.
Whether it’s Sun Salutations at sunrise or helping insomnia with
a restorative practice at sunset, users can experience world class
private lessons at their home, office or hotel room, at the touch of
a button.
Choose your preferred style – Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin or pregnancy
yoga – and get a feel for the instructors from watching short video
clips online.
The genesis for the Yogi2Me idea was the realisation that people
are often too busy and struggle to find time for yoga. It’s ideal for
people who work long or unusual hours or those who like to practice
yoga in their own home space.
“A lot of people want to start their yoga journey but don’t have the
time or are intimidated taking up their first group yoga class. Private
instruction is the best way to get started,” said Sarah Drai, one of the
Y2M founders and a yoga teacher herself.
“Yogi2Me is about making yoga more accessible to people and
optimise the schedule of yoga teachers. Our mantra for teachers is:
Teach more, commute less. For clients it’s: Fit Yoga to your schedule.”
Initially, the service only covers parts of London but the hope is to
increase coverage later on. Private lessons cost from £85 per hour.
