Let’s start with yoga and meditationGaia television

Their meditation and yoga classes available to stream to your phone, tablet or computer 24/7. From quick yoga sequences for energy to guided meditations and full-length restorative yoga classes, there’s something for every mood.

Probably our favorite yoga teacher, Schuyler Grant leads all of the classes. It has amazing content that is all-inclusive stating that it’s your “path to a happy and healthier life”. It requires no equipment, but you do need an open mind. You can watch the classes on your smart TV, phone, tablet or computer.

If you usually do cardio
