The Course

Simply visit the 'Start Now' button at the top of all pages. Or if you're on the Membership page, click 'Select'. You’ll be asked to create a login, before entering your payment details. Once the payment has been processed, you can use your login details to access the Members page.
How long do I have access to the course?
You have access to Yoga for Long Covid for six months from the date of signing up.
Can I rewatch videos and redo Yoga for Long Covid classes?
Yes. All material available on the Members page can be viewed as many times as you wish during the six months.
Do I have to stick to doing a new class every week?
No. During our research for this course, it became clear very quickly that the recovery from Long Covid is not straightforward and is unpredictable. As such, we have designed the course to ensure every participant can take it at their own pace. For example you may have reached Week 3, but decide to return to Week 1 and stay with Week 1 for the next weeks. You decide what you need.
How can the relaxation exercises help with Long Covid? Surely I should be doing more, not less.

Suitability
I’ve never done Yoga before. Is Yoga for Long Covid suitable for me?
If your doctor has diagnosed you with Long Covid, ruled out any underlying health issues and has recommended light exercise and breathwork, we believe this course is accessible whether or not you’ve done Yoga before. Beginning on the chair, you’re steadily guided through movements that have been chosen due to their approachability. Throughout the course you’re offered alternatives to ensure you can practise exactly how you need to.
I don’t have Long Covid, but I am recovering from an illness. Can this course help?
Although this course has been designed for Long Covid, many of the symptoms of Long Haul Covid can be found when recovering from other illnesses. If your doctor has given you the all clear to slowly return to exercise and you want to improve your breathing, then you may find this course helpful in implementing a regular movement and breath work programme.
I don’t have Long Covid, but I do have a chronic condition. Can this course help?
Although this course has been designed for Long Covid, many of the symptoms of Long Haul Covid can be found in chronic conditions such as asthma, COPD, and chronic fatigue syndrome, and ME. If your doctor has recommended exercise as part of your wellbeing strategy and you would like to use your breathing as a way to promote calm, then this course could be for you.
Financial Accessibility
I can only pay in instalments for the course, is this possible?
Accessibility is at the heart of Yoga for Long Covid, therefore, we are more than happy to arrange a payment schedule on an individual basis. Please contact hello@this-yoga.com to arrange this.
I would really like to do the course but I can’t afford £40. Can I still sign-up?
Nobody will be turned away due to hardship. We ask that you consider if there is an amount you can afford to pay, but if your circumstances mean you cannot afford any payment, you are still welcome. Please contact hello@this-yoga.com to arrange this.
