Beginners often worry about looking awkward or injuring themselves, but this is normal. With one-to-one guidance, your tutor can tailor exercises to your flexibility and ability, showing you modifications where needed. Each session focuses on alignment, breath work, and mindful movement, helping you gain confidence with poses like Warrior II, Downward Dog, or simple stretches for relaxation. Over time, these lessons help you move with more grace, ease, and awareness.
Personalised feedback is invaluable. Your tutor can see subtle misalignments or tension points that online videos cannot, and offer guidance that prevents injury while maximising the effectiveness of each movement. This ensures your yoga journey is safe, productive, and enjoyable.
Tutorful selects only the top 1 in 8 applicants, ensuring you learn from experienced, patient instructors who can adapt their teaching to your goals. They are trained not only in yoga techniques but also in how to work effectively with beginners, providing encouragement and support throughout your learning journey.
Lessons are delivered online, meaning you can practice from home without the stress of travel. Tutors create sessions tailored to your body, flexibility, and objectives—whether you want to improve core strength, practice mindfulness, or master inversions. With flexible scheduling and our First Lesson Guarantee, finding the right tutor has never been easier.
With online yoga tuition, you get the benefits of personalised, safe instruction wherever you are. Your tutor can monitor your posture, alignment, and movement, offering verbal adjustments and encouragement in real-time. Each lesson is designed to help you progress steadily, building confidence and competence with every practice.
What is the First Lesson Guarantee?
Your first lesson is your chance to connect with your tutor and make sure they're the right fit for your goals. If you're not completely satisfied, we will find you another tutor for free. It's our promise to help you find the perfect match.
Do I need to own a yoga mat to start?
While a yoga mat is highly recommended for comfort and grip, it's not strictly necessary for your first session. Your tutor can suggest household alternatives and advise on the best mat for you when you're ready. The most important thing is to begin!
How much do online yoga tutors cost?
Our yoga tutors set their own rates, typically ranging from £20 to £50 per hour, depending on their experience and specialisations. You can browse profiles and filter by price to find an instructor that fits your budget.
I'm a complete beginner and not flexible. Is this for me?
Absolutely. Our tutors specialise in helping beginners build a strong and safe foundation. They will meet you exactly where you are, teaching modifications and building your confidence and flexibility one breath at a time.
How do online yoga lessons work?
Lessons take place live via video call in our bespoke online classroom. You'll be able to see and hear your tutor clearly, and they'll be able to observe your alignment and provide real-time verbal adjustments and encouragement.
How do I find the right yoga tutor for me?
Use our search filters to narrow down instructors by speciality (like Vinyasa, Hatha, or Restorative), availability, and price. Read reviews from other learners and watch introductory videos to get a feel for their teaching style.
How long is a typical yoga session?
Most sessions are 60 minutes long, which allows for a proper warm-up, practice, and cool-down (Savasana). However, you can discuss your needs with your tutor, as some may offer 30 or 90-minute options.
What are the main benefits of one-to-one yoga tuition?
Personalised feedback to perfect your form and prevent injury, sessions tailored to your specific goals (e.g., flexibility, stress relief), and the accountability to build a consistent practice that you'll stick with.
Can I learn a specific style of yoga, like Ashtanga or Yin?
Yes. Many of our tutors are certified in various yoga disciplines. You can see their specialities on their profiles or use our search filters to find an expert in the style you're interested in.
I have a previous injury. Is online yoga safe?
It's essential to consult your doctor first. If you are cleared for practice, a private tutor is an excellent choice. They can create a modified practice that supports your recovery and avoids strain on the injured area, something a group class cannot offer.
What technology do I need for an online lesson?
All you need is a stable internet connection and a device with a camera and microphone, like a laptop, tablet, or smartphone. No special software is required to use our online classroom.
How do I book my first session?
Simply choose your tutor, find a time that works for you on their calendar, and book your first session directly through our secure platform. It's that simple to get started on your yoga journey.
