About YogaMonk

A dedicated online yoga community built on the belief that authentic, transformative practice should be available to everyone.

From a Single Mat to a Global Practice

YogaMonk began in Detroit, Michigan, with a straightforward aspiration: to share the genuine benefits of yoga with people who might not have access to a studio. Founded by a team of registered yoga teachers and wellness professionals, we launched our first live online class in 2015 with fewer than twenty students.

Today, YogaMonk serves a growing community of thousands of practitioners across the United States and internationally. Our diverse team of eighteen certified instructors delivers over 120 live and on-demand classes each month, spanning Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Ashtanga, meditation, and beyond.

What has not changed since our first class is our commitment to quality, authenticity, and the conviction that yoga — practiced consistently and with awareness — has the power to meaningfully improve people's lives.

Making Yoga Accessible, Safe, and Transformative

Our mission at YogaMonk is to remove the barriers that prevent people from experiencing the full benefits of yoga practice. We accomplish this by offering high-quality, professionally taught classes at accessible price points, across a schedule that accommodates the demands of modern life, available on any device.

We are committed to honoring the depth and wisdom of yoga's traditions while presenting them in a manner that is relevant, inclusive, and practically applicable for contemporary students.

Our Core Values

Authenticity

Inclusivity

Yoga is for every body and every background. We design our classes, language, and community to be genuinely welcoming to all people.

Safety
