Join Live Stream Classes on Zoom

All Janet Tant Yoga classes will begin live streaming on Zoom. Go here for class schedule and to register. When you make an online purchase the Zoom link will be at the top of your confirmation receipt. For first time users to Zoom, please allow time to register in advance before class time.  You should be able to just click the class link to start your class, but go here to get fully signed up for Zoom on your computer or device.  Once you have joined, place your cursor at the bottom of your Zoom window and notice the controls. Join with video and audio and make sure your volume is unmuted so we can begin with a check in. I recommend that the device you are using is plugged in.  I’ve noticed that live-streaming depletes battery power quickly.  Also I would close all other tabs in your internet browser for this live stream session as it will help to speed processing time.  If you run into a tech problem during the session I recommend logging out and closing the Zoom program and then rejoining the session; if that doesn't work, you may need to restart your device.  Please know that these problems are rare but nice to know a few tech tips in advance!

Prepare your yoga space about 10 minutes before class and position yourself at least 6-8 feet from your viewing device with the camera facing the long edge of your mat. Pick a spot where you will have adequate room for floor stretching and standing poses. Collect your props before class. We will be using a yoga mat, but you might also want a yoga blanket, a strap and a block.  Check out this video for yoga prop substitutions. For final relaxation you can use a pillow for your head, a pillow for under your knees and a covering for the eyes.  

When you enter the meeting I will have everybody unmuted. I would like to invite you to leave your camera on during class however if you would prefer your camera to be off, please feel free to make that adjustment on your screen. We’ll start with a quick check-in. Once the class begins I will mute participants and “pin” myself as the presenter. I will still be able to see each of you if your camera is on and will offer alignment cues as necessary but you will see and hear only me. Please know that you can unmute yourself at any time if you need to ask a question.

Of course we'll be doing a Savasana at the end of class. Since you're at home allow yourself to be as comfortable as possible for this final resting pose. Once the class is over I will allow about a minute of silence for people that need to leave the meeting. After that I will keep the meeting open for anyone that wants to stay and chat. I just ask that we have a minute or so of silence after our final Namaste.
