Welcome to CongDongYoga!

This guide will give you a quick overview of the main features of CongDongYoga, how to join us and get started with finding the right classes for you.

Try us for free

If you’re new to CongDongYoga you can try us out with a  two-week free trial. This gives you full access to all our yoga and meditation classes and programs. At the end of your 14-day trial your monthly subscription begins, or you can cancel at any time during your trial and you won’t be charged. If you’re returning to CongDongYoga – welcome back! – sign into your account and choose from a monthly, 3-month, 6-month, or annual subscription to access your classes.

Once you have a subscription, log in to your account and you will be directed to your personal homepage. Here we’ll give you some suggested classes, the latest news and articles, and the next class of any program you are following.

Yoga Programs and Challenges

Our guided yoga and meditation programs are a great way to get to know different teachers and styles. Whether you’re an absolute beginner, an experienced yoga teacher or anywhere in between – our programs and yoga challenges are designed to teach you the basics of yoga, help you establish a regular practice routine, or dive deeper into a specific aspect of yoga. 

If you are completely new to yoga start with Congdongyoga’s  Yoga for Beginners course. This is based on Hatha yoga which will give you the basic building blocks of your practice.

If you already have a basic level of fitness you might also like to try Rose’s Vinyasa Yoga for Beginners program. Vinyasa yoga is typically a more flowing and dynamic style of yoga than Hatha.

From there you can try the  Beginners Next Steps program or any All levels program.

There are many forms of yoga and every teacher has their own way of teaching, so try a few out and see what and who suits you best. Read our  Yoga Style Guide for a quick overview.

If you’re already familiar with yoga but new to CongDongYoga we recommend you start out with one of our programs featuring lots of different teachers – this will give you a taste of what we have on the website.

Try  Complete Yoga Program. While we give suggested schedules you can follow all our programs at your own pace so don’t feel you have to start off practicing every day!

We have lots of other programs on topics like yoga philosophy, meditation, Yin Yoga, Pilates, and more –  browse our programs.

Yoga and Meditation Classes

We have thousands of online yoga and meditation classes in different styles, levels and durations, so there is something for everyone. To find classes easily, you can use the different filters on the Classes page (once you are signed in) to narrow down your selection by the length of class, style, teacher, specific use, and level.

Here’s a quick video on how to find your classes on CongDongYoga:

Follow your favourite teachers

When you find teachers you like to practice with, you can click to follow them. You can edit your preferences at any time in your Account settings to follow different styles and teachers. You’ll get a notification when they release a new class – you can choose whether to get these on the website or by email.
