Real-Time Instruction
You are practicing with Julia as the class happens, not following a prerecorded video.

Live Online Yoga Classes,
Taught in Real Time
Practice from home without practicing alone. Rooted with Julia offers live online yoga classes with real-time instruction, thoughtful pacing, and room to move in a way that feels right for you.
No studio commute. No prerecorded sequence. Just a live class you can join from wherever you are.
Live, not recorded
Online Yoga, With an Actual Teacher There
There is a difference between following a yoga video and taking a live class.
Julia teaches each session in real time, watches the room, and adjusts the pace as the class unfolds. You can hear cues as you move, take options when you need them, and practice knowing there is a real person guiding the hour.
It keeps the convenience of yoga at home without losing the part that makes a class feel like a class. That is the whole case for live online yoga classes over a library of videos: there is an online yoga instructor on the other end of it, and she can see you.
The case for it
Why Practice Live?
Live virtual yoga classes ask a little more of your calendar than a video does. This is what you get back.
A Reason to Show Up
A scheduled class gives your week a little structure and makes it easier to return to the mat.
Practice From Home
No commute, parking, or rushing into a studio. Join from the space you already have.
Beginner-Friendly
You do not need to know the poses before you arrive. Julia offers clear instruction and options throughout the class.
Room to Make It Yours
Take the version that works for your body that day instead of trying to keep up with the screen.
Inside the class
What a Class Feels Like
Every class begins with a little time to arrive.
There may be breathwork, quiet movement, or a slower beginning before the practice builds. Some classes stay gentle. Others have more strength and flow. Either way, the pace is unhurried enough that you can follow what is happening instead of feeling like you are chasing the next pose.
Poses are named as we go and alternatives are offered before they are needed, so there is no assumption that you already know the vocabulary.
The class closes slowly, with enough time to settle before heading back into the rest of your day.
Every level
Good for Beginners. Still Interesting If You Have Practiced Before.
You do not need to be flexible, experienced, or “good at yoga” to join.
Julia teaches with mixed experience levels in mind. Beginners get clear instruction and space to learn. More experienced students can take stronger options when they want them.
The goal is not to make everyone move exactly the same way. It is to give everyone enough information to find a version of the practice that works. If you are looking specifically for online yoga classes for beginners, Foundations on the schedule below is the natural place to start.
What you need
Everything You Need Is Already Close By
A Yoga Mat
Enough space to move comfortably is more important than having a perfect setup; room to extend your arms in every direction is the whole requirement.
A Computer, Tablet, or Phone
Use whichever screen makes it easiest to see and hear the class. A laptop or tablet is easier to follow than a phone.
A Quiet Corner
You do not need a dedicated yoga room. A little clear floor space is enough. Comfortable clothing and water help.
Optional Props
Blocks, a strap, blanket, or household alternatives can be useful, but the exact setup depends on the class. Two firm books will serve as blocks.
How it works
How Live Online Classes Work
Choose a Class
Find a class on the schedule that works for your week, then email Julia to reserve your place.
Join From Home
A private link arrives by email as soon as you book. Open it a few minutes before the hour, from your computer, tablet, or phone. There is nothing to install on a laptop.
Practice With Julia
Julia teaches the session in real time and guides you through the class from beginning to end, offering options as the hour unfolds so you can take it at your own pace.
Week to week
A Class You Can Come Back To
The easiest practice to keep is often the one that fits naturally into your week.
Live online classes are designed to be something you can return to regularly, without needing to reorganize your day around getting to a studio. Come once when you need it, or make it part of your weekly rhythm.
Miss one and nothing is lost. Each class keeps the same Zoom link every week, so a busy Tuesday does not break the habit; the same door opens again seven days later.
Come once for $15 and see whether the pace and the teaching suit you, then decide at your leisure. Nothing here asks you to join first.
Your teacher
Meet Julia
Julia Giurleo is RYT 200 trained and registered with Yoga Alliance, and she teaches every class herself. Classes are kept small so she can see you and respond while you move.
Nothing performative, and nothing you need to be especially flexible, experienced, or good at. Just thoughtful movement and an hour that feels like it belongs to you. You can read more about Julia and how she came to teach this way.
- She teaches every class herselfNo rotating roster and no substitute teacher. The same voice each week.
- She watches the roomGroups stay small on purpose, so the pace can follow the people in the class rather than a plan written beforehand.
- Options before they are neededVariations are talked through as she goes, so you are never guessing what to do instead.
- Nobody is being assessedThere is no correct version of anyone’s body, and your camera can stay off if you would rather.

Booking and rates
Pay for the class straight from the schedule and the Zoom link arrives by email within seconds. Each class keeps the same link every week, so the email is worth saving. A single class is $15 and commits you to nothing, so you can see whether the pace and the teaching suit you before deciding anything.
The monthly membership is $79 and opens every class on the schedule, which costs less than paying per class from the sixth class in a month. It is cancelled from your own billing page, with no contract and no notice period.
