Great movement, with some good classes for advanced practitioners
Some advanced classes are mislabeled, but then there will sometimes be an intermediate that is advanced. The app lets you save to a playlist so you can mark them for yourself. However once they are removed from the replays, the app seems to mark the class as unwatched and it is removed from your playlist. Recently there has been a split recording of a sequence that is edited for both beginner and advanced classes, which does not always work. It would be great (maybe) to allow users to determine what level the classes are with weight on the levels of classes that user completes regularly. The advanced practitioner followers are often more long-term than beginners, and it’s unfortunate that so many yoga classes now cater to the many and occasional rather than the fewer but routine and long-term. Maybe because people are starting to return to studios this could be an important niche, to offer true advanced. It has always been the reason I return, as I actually can break a sweat and feel a challenge, which is not the case in a studio (unless it’s hot). It’s also nice to be able to trust the teacher has your health truly in mind rather than just numbers/popularity.

10 out of five stars
I can’t rate this App, or Lara’s classes, highly enough. To say it’s been life-changing is an understatement. I have always been active/athletic, and practiced yoga for 20 years before finding Lara. Even so, I often lived with pain from a scoliosis. Prior to practicing with Lara via this app, I was also regaining my strength after pregnancy/ a C-section, and carrying a heavy toddler around. I had diastisis recti, constant neck and back pain, and could not lift my arms above my head without my hands falling asleep. I had limited motion in my hips. I signed up for one of Lara’s free trials, and was at first skeptical. I didn’t have the ‘just had a massage’ feeling after her classes that I had after my usual yoga practice, but I felt noticeably better the day after practicing. I could feel my body changing after only a few classes with Lara. After only one or two classes, I could feel muscles in my core engaging in ways they hadn’t in years, and maybe hadn’t ever. My posture has improved, and I have full range of motion in my shoulders and hips again. Diastisis Recti is gone. An old shoulder injury is virtually gone. Changes in mobility/energy that I’d put down to aging have halted or reversed- I feel years younger. I now live virtually pain free- it’s incredible. I have told everyone I know about Lara, and hope that they’ll start to see benefits, too. I really can’t quantify how much I love these classes, or how much I appreciate Lara’s thoughtfulness in designing this program. I love that the classes are different lengths, and are designed to work alone, or stacked together in modules. It’s perfect for a working mom of young kids, because I know that I can get a good workout if I have 11 or 90 minutes. Thank you, thank you, thank you Lara! Give it a try- you won’t be disappointed.

Great movement, but not always for the advanced practitioner
The app caters more to beginner/intermediate. Advanced classes that are truly advanced are often mislabeled. Recently there has been a move to split beginner and advanced classes from one single recording, which does not translate for advanced. My advice would be to allow users to determine what level the classes are with weight on the practitioner’s regularity and level selection. That way, developers could see the actual number of classes offered on the site that are catered to the experienced practitioners based on real ratings from the practitioners. The advanced practitioner followers are often more longterm then beginners, as long as advanced classes are consistently advanced. It’s unfortunate that so many yoga classes now cater to the many and occasional fancier rather than the loyal. There are a few advanced classes in the app that are truly challenging and not just rushed as a means of advancing the level. But those are few and far between lately.

Great for low back pain/hip mobility
I find NYT particularly helpful for low back pain and hip mobility something that most women struggle with. I love that you can do a short class or a longer class, whatever you are in the mood for. I am a physician so I appreciate the medical background/approach. Just enough talk and I like that there isn’t a deep dive into spirituality since I’m not looking for that here.

Lyt yoga is the best yoga
Love the app, use it a few times every week. I learn so much about anatomy taking these classes that I feel like I have a whole new outlook on my body, a smarter and more confident outlook, for the better.
Uses a lot of data
Theres no option to select what quality i want to streami guess it auto selects the best quality your connection can handle. Ive got good connection but limited data so i assume its streaming in HD according to the data usage :(. I only buy a 30gb plan a month and find it frustrating that watching these video burns through my data leaving me without any data or having to purchase more. A long time a ago this feature was available but it has dissapeared from both the app and website. Again i will stress that i find this really frustrating and expensive when i have little money.
Aside from this i really love this style of yoga and the teaching styles it has helped and helping me recover from injurys other styles were not helping

Excellent content, superb interface
I can’t get over just how much I enjoy the app and the classes. I recommend LYT to everyone!
Don’t wait!
This is more valuable than my yoga studio membership. Worth every penny and then some !
Love everything about LYT
I subscribed to LYT over a year and a half ago and have been doing classes regularly ever since- anywhere between 3 to 6 times per week. I love that there is a new class every day. Those are the ones I usually do but I also love that there is a lot in the library in case you need it. $40 a month for this is a great price since drop in yoga classes in my area are $20 each minimum. I love Lara’s LYT method. She’s an excellent teacher. Her ability to teach well virtually is amazing. Lara, you are going to have to archive everything for when you eventually retire bc I will need access to the material lifelong. The changes I’ve made on the mat have improved my life off the mat 10 fold. Thank you!!!

LYT Classes Will Change Your Practice, On and Off the Mat
Lara’s movement strategies with change your practice. After every class, I constantly am saying, “she’s a genius”. I’ve done countless core work in my day, but Lara’s ability to break movements down and explain the importance behind the action has been enlightening. I’ve never felt better on and off the mat as I do now with LYT daily classes.

I absolutely love these online classes, I find the human body fascinating and I learn so much practicing with Lara. If I’m ever asked about online classes this is the app I always recommend. I have also signed up to the 200 online tt so I can share this method with my classes helping anyone and everyone feel lyt up.

Smart, Purposeful, and Safe Yoga Practice
I have been looking for a yoga practice that feels right, and I found that practice here. The sequences are so smart, the movement and transitions are purposeful (and explained), and (best of all) the moves feel safe. I have done lots of yoga classes where the moves didn’t feel good for my body or where I felt like I was blindly following/trusting a stranger to tell me how to push my body. You won’t find that here. LYT is fantastic, and the app works great. Thank you Lara!

My favorite yoga style for an at home practice
I have experimented with several styles of yoga and the LYT method is by far my favorite style of yoga. Developed by a physical therapist, it emphasizes practicing functional movements (movements you do in life that serve a function, like squatting to pick something up) in the most sustainable way (teaching you how to squat in a way that won’t hurt your knees over several years). But just because it’s sustainable doesn’t mean it isn’t challenging—these classes will kick your butt in a great way. I love the variety of classes available on the app. Some are short so you can fit them in when you are short on time, and some are full length so you can get in a great workout.
The app works great but in future versions I would really appreciate options to skip forward and back by 10 or 15 seconds. If I get interrupted at home I’d like to be able to skip back and this is hard to do just dragging the marker back.

So knowledgeable!
Lara Heimann is one of the best yoga teachers and all around movement experts out there. Her knowledge of the body is incredible and I learn so much with every class. I’m always amazed how I feel after her classes. They can be hard but so rewarding!
Getting by with a little help from my friends
Thank goodness for LYT Yoga! I don’t know how I could maintain my practice otherwise.
To say that I am a low on motivation right now would be an understatement but I always seem to find something here that piques my interest. Especially love the PT focused classes on shoulders and hips.
