The Best YouTube Yoga Channels For Yoga At Home

2nd December 2020

Fitness Health

2nd December 2020

By Shivraj Bassi

When many people picture themselves doing yoga, they think of a studio with mirrors, rows of mats and soothing music on the speakers. But the reality is that yoga can be practised anywhere and everywhere - especially during a global pandemic which has forced many gyms to shut for months at a time. 

There are advantages to doing yoga in your own home as opposed to going out - there’s no journey time, you have no excuse whatsoever for not turning up and it’s impossible to be late to class. Plus when you’re done you can whip up a nourishing Innermost protein shake in your own kitchen to help your body recover and thrive. 

Doing yoga in your own space can be a luxury rather than a chore, and that’s where YouTube comes in. Sorting through thousands of videos can be overwhelming, so we’ve done the legwork for you and compiled our favourite channels for the best YouTube yoga.

Yoga With Adriene

Adriene is the original and many would say the best YouTube yoga practitioner. With more than eight million subscribers, she’s down-to-earth and the kind of person you’d want to be friends with. Her motto is ‘find what feels good’, and the emphasis is on taking time for yourself and finding a practise which works for you. Videos range from beginners to advanced, covering every topic from ‘yoga for when you feel dead inside’ to ‘yoga for courage’. You can pick and choose according to your mood. 

Yoga With Tim

One for when you want yoga that will leave you drenched in sweat rather than napping on the floor. The classes are around half an hour each and concentrate on the physicality of the practise. Tim is great at helping you self-adjust your poses. With a new video each week, you can attend his classes just as you do with your favourite in-person teacher. 

Purple Valley Ashtanga Yoga

Ashtanga yoga is a style that links breath to movement and has a reputation as being quite intense. If you’re not sure if this is for you, Purple Valley Ashtanga Yoga is one of the best channels to start exploring this technique. Based out of a retreat in India, this yoga YouTube channel acts as a one-to-one class for viewers, and famous instructors such as Deepika Mehta and Kino Macgregor sometimes make appearances. You will also find wellness tips here, and videos on Ayurveda.

Body Positive Yoga

Yoga is truly for everyone, and Body Positive Yoga makes that clear. All shapes, sizes and levels of expertise are welcome here, and the channel has a focus on promoting a healthy relationship with one’s body, handling negative thoughts and developing self-compassion. Founder Amber Karnes uses props in her videos, but always offers household alternatives if you’re not kitted out to the max. Bring your happiest smile.

Faith Hunter

Many people love yoga because of its deeply calming, meditative properties. Faith Hunter is one of the best yoga YouTube channels for finding some inner peace. The videos tend towards the relaxing and restorative end of the activity, and Faith really focuses on nourishing your soul as well as your body. This is a great choice for early morning or bedtime yoga sessions.

The Myth of Optimal Health

The Myth of Optimal Health

We live in an age obsessed with the idea of “optimal.” The optimal diet. The optimal supplement stack. The optimal training split. Scroll through Instagram or YouTube for five minutes and you’ll find someone with a 17-step morning routine, a kitchen cupboard full of powders, and the confidence that they’ve cracked the code to human performance. But here’s the truth: Chasing “optimal” is one of the fastest ways to fall short in your health. The Illusion of Optimal Health culture has a way of dangling perfection in front of us. Big food companies do it when they market the “perfect” meal replacement shake. Biohackers do it when they promise that cold plunges, red-light therapy, and nootropics are the missing links to peak performance. But research paints a different picture. Studies on diet adherence consistently show that most people abandon strict or extreme health plans within weeks.  Fad diets, whether keto, paleo, or juice cleanses have dropout rates as high as 50–70% in the first two months. That’s not because people are weak. It’s because perfection is unsustainable. When you aim for “optimal,” you’re often aiming for something that doesn’t exist outside of a lab study or a heavily edited social feed. Consistency beats Intensity If you strip away the noise, the science is clear: the best plan is the one you can actually stick to. A Stanford University study looked at exercise adherence and found that people who built moderate, consistent routines were far more successful over the long term than those who went all in with aggressive, “optimal” plans. Think about it: Walking 8,000 steps daily is far more powerful than hitting 20,000 steps once a week. Sleeping 7–8 hours a night consistently beats the occasional marathon lie-in after a week of late nights. Eating balanced meals most of the time will always outperform the perfect, but impossible, “clean eating” schedule. Consistency doesn’t look flashy on social media. But it’s what drives lasting change in real life. The Perfection Trap The bigger danger of chasing “Optimal Health” isn’t just that it’s unrealistic. It’s that it creates guilt and paralysis. Psychologists call this all-or-nothing thinking. If you miss your “perfect” 5am workout, you write the day off. If you slip up on your diet, you feel like you’ve failed. Over time, that mindset burns people out. A review published in the Journal of Behavioural Medicine highlighted how rigid, perfectionist approaches to health goals were strongly linked to higher stress, lower motivation, and worse long-term outcomes. In other words: aiming for perfect often leaves you worse off than if you’d just aimed for “good enough” consistently. The Simplicity Advantage At Innermost, this is the philosophy we’ve always stood behind: better health should be simple, not overwhelming. We don’t believe in flashy shortcuts or marketing gimmicks. We believe in science-backed products designed to slot seamlessly into your life so you can actually stick with them. A few examples: The Hydrate Blend makes staying on top of electrolytes effortless — without the sugar, fillers, or artificial aftertaste you’ll find in the big sports drinks. The Rise Blend gives you clean energy and focus, without adding another complicated ritual to your already busy day. Our protein powders support your health and fitness goals with nutrients you and your body recognises, instead of pushing the latest overpriced fad ingredient. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s progress. Progress, not Perfection So here’s the takeaway: you don’t need the “optimal” plan. You just need a plan you’ll actually follow. If you focus on moving most days, eating whole foods when you can, sleeping properly, and staying hydrated, you’re already ahead of 90% of the population. It’s not sexy. But it works. And it’s sustainable. So the next time you feel the pressure to add another step to your routine, ask yourself: does this make my life simpler or more complicated? If it’s the latter, it probably isn’t worth it. Health isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about building momentum. An imperfect plan, done consistently, beats the “optimal” plan abandoned after a week.
