WHAT IS A LIVE ONLINE CLASS?

A live-online class is a class offered in real time with a live teacher and other students connecting virtually through a video conferencing platform. I am using zoom.us which is free to download and can be accessed through a smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer. 

HOW TO SIGN UP FOR CLASS?

1. Sign up in advance. You may do so anytime up to 8 am, 1 hour before class begins. Registration closes at 8 am.

2. An email with a link to join class will be sent to you around 8 am, 1 hour before class begins.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR CLASS?

1. If you are new to ZOOM, download and install ZOOM Cloud Meetings from the Apple App Store on the device you plan to use for class. For the best experience use a device that has a bigger screen with video camera and microphone so I can see and hear you.

2. Create an account on Zoom with the email address you used to register for class, along with your first and last name.

3. Please do that ahead of time so you don’t have to fumble with technology when class begins.

HOW TO JOIN A CLASS?

1. Clear a quiet space in your home. Have your mat and props ready. If you don’t have yoga props, improvise with household objects such as blankets, cushions, pillows, actual belts or chairs. 

2. Let your family know that you will be in session and ask if they can refrain from disturbing you for the duration. Or invite them to join!

3. Turn off the phone, TV, notifications and all devices that you aren’t using to view the class. 

4. You will receive the Zoom Link to join 1 hour before class. Click on that link and wait. I will start hosting 5-10 minutes before class starts.

5. AUDIO: When you join the meeting, you will be automatically muted during the session unless I open up a conversation. This is to help with sound quality. 

6. VIDEO: If you want me to see you and your practice, you must allow Zoom to access your camera and press “Start Video” on the bottom left corner of your screen to turn your video camera on. If you would like to practice privately you can turn your video camera off. You will enjoy the class most if you view in “full screen” mode.
