Live Streaming TPY: A How- To


Hey, Team.

As we all hunker down and the take necessary actions to protect our communities from COVID-19 exposure, TPY recognizes that many of us also need extra support… physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual.

We’re so grateful for all the support our student community has offered in this challenging time. And, we hope that using this livestream technology will offer you, our dedicated community, an option to continue your practice and ground into your breath during these times of anxiety and wild unknown while (double bonus) continuing to support your favorite teachers during what is a difficult financial circumstance.

To take a live stream class:

  • Go to our class schedule page as usual, or login to your Mindbody account via our website. There you can register for the class you want to take.
  • You will receive an email from Mindbody titled “Reservation Confirmation” immediately after enrolling. The link to class is in this email. If you don’t receive this email, your email permissions may not be set up correctly. Email us at contactus@thepeoplesyoga.org for help.
  • 15 mins before class, click the link provided, roll out your mat, and practice! It’s that easy. 
  • HEY, NEW STUDENTS! Welcome! And, it’s important that when registering for your first live streamed class, please double check that the email in your Mindbody account is accurate as that is the email we will be sending your link to. You also must choose to receive emails for “Account Management” and “Reminders and Schedule Changes” in order to receive the links for class.

How will live streaming payment work?

  • You will use your memberships, class cards and drop ins as you would if coming to class on any normal day. 
  • During the course of Covid-19 studio closures, we are offering a sliding scale for drop ins ($10/12/14) in hopes that this can make the practice more readily accessible, while also balancing the costs paying our employees.
  • Also for the course of closure, we’re offering seven “Quarantine $5 Drop In” classes on our regular schedule. Drop in to those classes for $5!

Service industry folks who are out of work: we are offering you a free month of yoga! Just email us with where you worked and we will hook you up!

Why are we not discounting our memberships and class cards offered online?

Our teachers and their families depend on their income. We want to continue to pay them for their valuable time and knowledge as we would in person in the studio. And we want the studio to stay open. Losing revenue for a month or more is a devastating blow for small business.  We hope you’re help us stay strong by continuing to attend to your practice and learn from our wonderful teachers. 

Also, we recognize that our employee community is not alone in experiencing financial hardship right now. If you have lost work and are experiencing financial hardship that keeps you from practicing, please reach out to us at contactus@thepeoplesyoga.org.
