How will I meet with Emily for a Donation-Based Yoga Online Class?
Should I use my laptop, phone or tablet?
Online yoga works best when you’re using a laptop with a camera at the top. This allows the camera to be adjusted so I can see everything you’re doing.
How do I set up my laptop and mat?
Set up your laptop far enough away so I can see you & the side view of your full mat. The whole horizontal mat should be in the camera frame. Do your best and don’t worry. Together we can make little adjustments as needed at the beginning of your yoga therapy session or public class.
