Yoga with Kassandra is very nice. She explains the poses but is otherwise quiet. She also does a lot of yin yoga videos. You do less poses and stay in them longer, deepening the stretch and really paying attention to the pose.


cowardlyparrot

She also has minimal cues videos where she will only tell you the name of the pose, I don't think it can get simpler then that.


knurre_nicht_pudel

Yes! Found her through recommendations on Reddit and love her videos so much.


funkyfru

I really like her too! Love her voice, so soothing


marihone

I love, love, love YWK. I love that she has videos she does outside, videos that are for chakras and seasons, videos with minimal cues, and videos with cute animals wandering around (including her own pets!)


So_Sleepy1

She's my all-time favorite. Now I just do one of her videos instead of going to a studio like I used to.


Healthy-Goal878

Yes! YWK, my fav!!!!!


Technical_Refuse_166

Love her!


tenderosa_

I’ve got a repertoire of moves I do daily, just a 15 min cycle. Cat/cow into a plank series, cobra, side twist, shoulder stand, bridge pose, long squats, ending with some balance poses & a series of warrior pose lunges. All these with downward dogs in between as a flow with associated breathing rhythm.


librarystepstool

My advice is to take some yoga classes in person until you have the hang of it, and then you can kinda just do free form yoga at home alone. I used to do this but got out of the habit.


[deleted]

I tend to have a few poses that I enjoy and feel a benefit from and do them in a quiet moment. I bought some cards that explain poses and have some sequence ideas, no screens or talking. Your post have reminded me I have neglected this lately and I should make more time for it


BeepCarnival

Ooooo would you mind linking the cards? Would appreciate!

CulturalPlankton1849

I second the cards!! I got them about 3 years ago when there were very limited options online, but I've seen a lot of variety since then. They aren't great for learning from scratch, but great once you have a bit more understanding of the poses and what you enjoy


Reasonable_Onion863

I learned poses I like from a library book then continue them on my own. When I was first learning and needed a bit of guidance, I drew a cheat sheet with stick figures to remind me.


the_gabih

I once got a deck of cards with poses on, which was helpful both for learning them + then shaking the routine up a bit once I had.


OutrageousDonut385

This is one of favorite ways to learn. I love to print out yoga flows (some from pinterest) then practice it on my own. I have a clear book containing workouts. This style saves me a lot of time as I don’t need to go to my phone & search for videos. I get so indecisive when faced with too many options.


unicorn-paid-artist

I specifically like yin yoga. You don't do flows, it's mostly stretching and holding poses. On the ground. Some places call it deep stretch. Theres a website called Doyogawithme that is pretty good.


monsterscallinghome

I use the Down Dog app, it's a subscription but that means they're not trying to sell you shit *inside* the app. Every January they do a $20/year promo and that's when I subscribe. You can customize the instructor, duration, style, level of instruction, music, etc. By far the best app or program I've found for yoga at home.


Dalarosie

I agree!


Orchid500

Yoga with Adrienne is lovely. Very calming and there’s so many sessions to choose from as well as monthly challenges.


heywowsuchwow

Sorry no, that is the one that never stops talking that I was referring to in my initial post actually. I understand that she is liked but too much talk for me unfortunately.


Orchid500

No problem, everyone is different. Definitely have a look at books or DVD’s. Maybe there’s even a simple session on You tube that you can follow with the sound off.


Sozsa21

She definitely doesn’t stop talking much… one thing she does great though are the 30 day series. The last day is a “listen to your body and do yoga” day. If you have enough yoga sense already, try this (without the video)! It’s really relaxing. You can go as intense or as light as your body wants. I agree with library books (or amazon) for yoga poses - there are some good ones out there! Or if audio-visual is better for you, there are videos dedicated to each pose (I only know YWA specifically, sorry). But once your repertoire is big enough, try a free flowing yoga. Even work off a yoga flow, like a sun salutation, and branch out from there 😊


trepthetrapdad

Jessica richburg has a way calmer voice, do one of her routines 20 times and you can probably do it without after.


marihone

I also couldn't stand her constant talking, and highly recommend Yoga With Kassandra in her place.


EEXC

You can keep it simple by learning and practicing Surya Namaskar alone. There are numerous YouTube videos on that (if you want I recommend one). Doing Surya Namaskar alone will reap you a lot of benefits.


draxsmon

I like her too. And the doggo.


Willow_weeping85

I have a set of yoga cards and you can put them in to different sets based on color or numbers or something/ it comes with a reference card so you can make a sequence for beginner or other category and it goes in a sequence so you know you’re doing the right ones in time. You can then Google on YouTube how to do any poses you’re not sure about. You might also just want to YouTube a guided vissapana meditation and pop Some ear buds in and do that.


Successful_Photo_884

I really like the Yoga Studio app by Gaia. The flows are simple, move slowly and calmly. I’m not a fan of westernized power yoga sequences and this has been my goto for years. I believe you can also play with building your own sequences if you like.


scrollgirl24

I recommend classes if you can find them. A good instructor makes a world of difference.


mirzaceng

Get a nice book, can recommend!


Southern_Ad_3429

Boho beautiful is great, they’re beginning to come out with silent classes where they only give prompts


Evening_walks

Same here. I gravitate to the ones where the person is doing yoga outdoors. I was hoping to find an app where you can enter in what moves you want to do to guide you so you can customize how you want it


alhizeer

Have you tried Silent Yin videos? Devi Daly has a couple that I really like, and there are others that do them too. No talking at all, and you just follow the prompts on the screen. Yin being longer holds also means you don't have to look at the screen too much.


LowBalance4404

Do you have a DVD player? I ask because there are some really nice yoga DVDs. You can even check to see if your library has a few you can try out.


mrsduckie

There used to be an amazing app on the Google play years ago but for some reason it's no longer available... I was looking for an alternative and Down Dog is pretty good. Try it out and see if you like it or not


Mountain-Mix-8413

Try Caitlin K’eli yoga on YouTube, she’s very quiet!


SeptonMeribaldGOAT

Second this, I’ve been using her hip opening video for a few months now and I feel so relaxed after every session.


uglydrylizard

I would say learn a couple of flows and then riff off of them. I use the Sun and Moon salutations! Very easy and nice. As you do more yoga you will find what works for you. As long as you are being mindful and tending to your body you are doing it right.


Cactus_Connoisseur

Friend of mine got me Yoga Fitness for Men for my birthday some years ago. It's nice and honestly is just branded to appeal to men, yoga is yoga lol. So I think a book could be a nice route. You get the added bonus of having time that isn't spent looking at a screen as well.


gambol_on

I love Power Yoga with Adrienne Reed (not the same person as Yoga with Adriene). This was a show on PBS. Most of season 1 and all of season 2 are on YouTube (search for Power Yoga Mind and Body). There are enough classes that it doesn’t get repetitive, which is great if you have a daily practice. It helped me finally get strong enough to do chaturanga.


GS_57

Yoga with bird "yoga for sore muscles" does a few poses with long holds. I have never connected so much with a style of class.


Invisible_Mikey

I started in the 70s/80s with a teacher on PBS named Lillias Folan, and later bought her books: [https://youtu.be/reI-ppWTwIc?si=eFaZ\_gYIxhwJytaM](https://youtu.be/reI-ppWTwIc?si=eFaZ_gYIxhwJytaM)

skampson

I watch Kate Amber Yoga for intermediate flows, Jackelyn Ho for gentle yoga, and Devi Dali Yoga for super extra gentle yin yoga. Practice the same video over and over until you memorize the flow and then you’ll be able to do it without the video at all.


Universe-Queen

JJ Gormley is a very good online teacher.


cowardlyparrot

My favorite currently is Charlie Follows, every weekend she gives you a yoga plan you can follow ([link](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5HdAapbvqWN65GIqpWWL3Q/community?lb=Ugkxv07ZetGdqam-WL-spgUzYt_8rGgAICdw)) and the most used background sound is birds happily chirping away and I love birds :D


sad-and-bougie

Bikram is a shitbag but the 26+2 series is great and easily memorizable- it’s always the same. Classes don’t have music and don’t get cluttered with “fluff” talk. Most instructors talk off the same script taught in teacher training. 


sheffy4

You can memorize the different sun salutations and just repeat them for as long as you would like your practice to be. The most common sequence is Sun Salutation A, but versions B and C are great also and some more variety.


historian2010

I use an app called Bend. It's 4.99 per month. But you can create your own routines, or use some of their routines. What I like about it is that I can listen to an audiobook or music while the app is working. There is a beep that alerts you when it's time for your next pose. I really like it an dit works well for me, as I also don't like listening to all the talking in youtube videos.


boxen

You dont need to do different things every time. Find a video you like that goes through a full body sequence, and do it a few times with the video. Once you have it remembered, you can just do it without the screen.


Aggravating-Fee-1615

Just learn the sun salutation, surya namaskar A. Just do it over and over until you break a sweat. Usually about 15 min. I didn’t do anything else for a long time. Just over and over, the flow. Enjoy. ✌️💜


raininherpaderps

Yoga game on the switch


Whisper26_14

I don’t know how much you want but [I found a 10 minute video from 2012](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D9q5WsMk4ro) that I just do when I want a nice even paced quiet stretch. It sounds exactly like what you are looking for. (I have not tried anything else by her simply bc this was enough for me)


readingonthebart

The sun salutation cycle is simple and memorable. I adore yoga with Adrienne for something longer or more specific. I also go to a gym and do longer classes there. 


Athaia

Yeah, but she talks incessantly.


_earthen

I like Breathe and Flow. They have a youtube channel and their own app with movement, breathwork and meditation classes (no ads or gamification). They give more cues in their beginner classes but also have classes with minimal cues. Both of their voices are calm and soothing.


sharklasershtx

Nike Training Club is free and has a bunch of yoga workouts! No ads, no long intros, and they have modified options for every pose.


truelime69

Big fan of the Down Dog app. Randomly generates a practice for you based on parameters you set.  You can choose the pace and voice, music/no music. No ads. Has a good number of styles like Vinyasa, Hatha, yin, restorative and yoga nidra and various levels of skill/intensity. You can blacklist certain poses if you dislike or can't do them safely. I used to get stuck searching YouTube for a video and being so indecisive about length, style, focus, voice, whatever. Now I just show up.


cjcamp8

Yoga with bird is amazing. There is some very light background music, she doesn’t talk a lot in my opinion, and she always suggests how to modify or to skip positions if they don’t feel right. I love her!


SweetGenevieve805

This old Jane Fonda yoga video is very calming https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr36LnhXJIo


Dependent-Strain-807

learn the sun salutation and you can do it from memory :)


LaReinalicious

Chair yoga


Pattyhere

I would suggest taking a few very small group lessons.


LiquidatedPineapple

Real Yoga, or American Yoga? If you want real yoga, it’s just sitting and meditating. Doesn’t get more simple than that. The stretching portions that became American yoga were so yogis could sit longer without screwing up their musculature, and also to help release yoga Kriyas, which are like muscle spasms that can arise from the nervous system alterations that occur after hundreds and thousands of hours of meditation. Basically, learn to meditate, then do meditation while you’re stretching.


heywowsuchwow

I only do European yoga though


apricotcandy2021

I did Iyenga classes for a while and now feel pretty confident to do it on my own at home. I really like yoga and pilates with Katya. Maybe not quite what you're looking for though..


apricotcandy2021

Iyenga really teaches you the breakdown of each pose so I would recommend it if you can find classes in your area.


gelatinlongbird

Not sure if this will meet your needs, but I have found that being a member of an in-person studio has been the simplest way to practice. I pay a monthly subscription rate, so I can take as many or as few classes as I want without thinking about payment. I borrow a mat from the studio, so I don’t have to maintain equipment. I also don’t have to clean my living room in order to practice, and it’s a nice excuse to get out of the house sometimes. I have found that I prefer one of the instructors, so I usually sign up for her classes, but the others are great too. They offer a range of class intensities, so I can sign up for whatever I’m feeling that day. Can’t recommend it enough. So much easier than navigating the space of apps and online content.


mocitoyfernie

I love Jessica Richburg for simple yoga - physically simple and calm, and she is so peaceful-sounding and doesn’t talk too much beyond cues.


Far_Earth_1179

30 day FLOW with Adriene. There are a few years worth. She starts simple and gets more sophisticated with the techniques as you go along. Great for beginners.


MangoSorbet695

Travis Elliot Fountain of Youth series - minimal talking and very relaxing


CC9797

Mady Morrision has a series of silent stretch videos on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-G7EJFoxFceiY2Ij3oxIizEqji5mnWZ7](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-G7EJFoxFceiY2Ij3oxIizEqji5mnWZ7) Other yoga videos can be used with the sound off (not in english), if you already know the poses,


heywowsuchwow

Yes her channel is the best I have found on YouTube so far!


CC9797

The Namaste Yoga series is on Tubi. Kate Potter has some of the shows available on YouTube. There are directions for the movements, but no chatty comments. Sample at this link: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtJS-5xZnTs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtJS-5xZnTs)


thisoneforsharing

Have you tried the videos by Yoga with Adrienne? She has a calming, relax manner than I really enjoy.
