While it’s hard to match the magic of an in-person yoga class—with it’s collective inhales and exhales and hands-on adjustments—the internet is a wondrous place for workouts, and its yoga offerings are no exceptions. With the mere click of a button, you can experience a studio-quality flow from the comfort and ease of your own home which, in this day and age, can feel like the safest place to practice heavy breath work. And the best part is, it’s free. (Thanks, YouTube!)

Yoga is a worthwhile addition to your daily or weekly regimen, too, as the practice offers a host of science-backed health benefits. It increases flexibility, of course, and can improve balance, focus, and endurance to make you a better athlete overall (or simply improve your day-to-day mobility). But it has more surprising benefits, too. Yoga is linked to better brain health, it may improve mood and alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression, and it can help to induce sleep. In other words, it’s a minor mental health miracle.

Fortunately for the WFH (workout-from-home) set, there are tons of exceptional yoga YouTubers—so many, in fact, that it can become overwhelming. To help you parse through them, here are a few channel favorites: Yoga with Adrienne; Jessamyn Stanley; Yoga with Briohny; Stråla Yoga; Faith Hunter; Sarah Beth Yoga; Koya Webb; and Yoga with Kassandra. To find the ones that are the right fit for you simply requires a little trial and error, as everybody connects uniquely to different yogis and styles of practice–so, play around!

And if you just want to skip right to a curated list of some of the best—and hardest—free yoga routines on YouTube, grab your mat and scroll down.

The best free yoga videos on YouTube

1. 30-Minute Energizing Morning Flow with Sky Ting Yoga

In a perfect world, every morning would start with a yoga flow to stretch out the body after (ideally) a long night’s sleep, gently awaken the muscles, and set the stage for a calm-yet-energized day. This flow from the Sky Ting Yoga founders offers all of those benefits and more—it’s well worth waking up (30 minutes early!) for.

This Ashtanga yoga practice will take 90 minutes to complete, but think about all of the time you’re saving by not having to leave your house?
