About The Yoga Blog

An independent, beginner-friendly guide to yoga: poses, meditation and the ideas behind the practice.

Who we are

The Yoga Blog is an independent site for people who are new to yoga or coming back to it. We explain poses, meditation and yoga's ideas in plain language, with easier versions and safety notes.

Not the earlier blog

A different yoga blog used this web address from about 2011 to 2017. We are not connected to it and do not reuse its writing, names or interviews.

How we write

• We check health and safety statements against public health sources such as the US National Institutes of Health (NCCIH) and the NHS, and list them under each page.
• We never present yoga as a medical therapy or promise health results. Where research is limited, we say so.
• We don't publish paid rankings or sponsored posts.
