How to make the most of your Zoom experience:
- Preparing for class:
- Set up your device in a place where you will have room to perform the exercises AND see your device's video screen.
- Make sure that you have water and any needed props.
- During class:
- Please turn your audio on at the beginning of class so that you can say hello to everyone. I will mute everyone but myself during class and then unmute all at the end of class to check in and say our farewells.
- You have the option of having your own video on during the class. This creates a wonderful sense of community but you can turn your video on or off at any time.
- You can fill your device's screen with all participants' videos (Gallery View) or just the instructor's video (Active Speaker View).
- Most people enjoy Gallery View at the beginning and end of class but find that being in Active Speaker View allows them to best see the exercises and poses demonstrated.
- To move between these two viewing options, use the viewing button (located at the top right of most screens). Simply click it to toggle between the two viewing options.
- Alternately, you can pin a video so that it takes up the whole screen: Hover over the person's video box until you see 3 dots at the top right; click on these 3 dots and select the "pin" option.
- Most people enjoy Gallery View at the beginning and end of class but find that being in Active Speaker View allows them to best see the exercises and poses demonstrated.
- Listen to your body! You should never feel pain during any of the exercises. Follow my modifications and/or perform your own modifications as needed.
Troubleshooting Tips
Trouble logging into class?
First, log completely out of the Zoom app, then follow these steps:
- Make sure that you've clicked the correct log-in link then log-in again. If that doesn't work...
- Create a Zoom account and log in using the meeting ID (the Meeting ID is the last 9 digits of the log-in link).

Trouble with video or audio?
When logging in, you should be prompted to "test" your audio speaker and video. I recommend doing this when logging in for the first time on your device.
- If you have audio issues:
- Make sure your device's volume is on & all the way up,
- Make sure you aren't muted if you're trying to talk by clicking on the microphone icon on the bottom left of your screen.
- Click the arrow to the right of the microphone icon and make sure the audio settings are correct.
- Make sure that when you logged into class, you joined "with computer audio". To confirm this, leave the meeting then log in again.
- If you have video issues:
- Make sure you aren't muted by clicking the video button on the bottom left of your screen.
- Click the arrow to the right of the video icon and check your video settings.
- Make sure that you logged onto class using video. To confirm this, leave the meeting then log in again.
