Best Online Private Yoga Platforms in the U.S. (2026): Prices and Instructors Compared
Published on: July 18, 2024
Last updated: October 13, 2026
Online private yoga means one teacher and one student on a live video call. The teacher watches you, adjusts the practice to your body, and remembers what you worked on last time.
This guide compares five platforms that offer online private yoga in the U.S. Prices and teacher details for ONE OM ONE, MyYogaTeacher, Yoga Beyond The Studio, and Mywowfit were checked on their public pages on October 11, 2026. Prices change often, so please confirm on the official site before you sign up. If you also want to compare group apps and on-demand libraries, see our full list of online yoga platforms.
Disclosure. I am Jimmy Ito, the founder of ONE OM ONE, one of the five platforms in this guide. Every platform, including mine, is described with the same items. The platforms are grouped by how you pay, and the order is not a ranking.
1. How We Compared
We looked at the same five points for each platform.
- One-on-one focus. Is private instruction the core of the service, or an add-on?
- How you choose a teacher. Can you read profiles and pick, or are you matched?
- Session length. How long one session runs.
- Price per class. For monthly plans, we divide the monthly price by the most sessions the plan includes. For services that sell single sessions, we use the listed price per session.
- Trial. Can you try it before you commit?
2. Comparison Table 2026
Where a detail is not shown on a platform's public pages, the table says so.
| Platform | How it works | Teachers | Session length | Price | Trial |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Monthly plans | |||||
| ONE OM ONE | Private sessions only. You pick your teacher. | 36 | 45 minutes | $68 to $248 a month. From $6.27 per class when you use all 30 sessions on the $188 plan. | $10 for 7 days, up to 3 sessions |
| MyYogaTeacher | Live group classes plus 1-on-1 sessions | 200+, per its site | 60 minutes, with about 55 minutes of yoga, per its FAQ | Group classes from $33 a month. 1-on-1 from $69 a month for 4 sessions on the 3-month plan. | Free first session, no credit card required |

3. The 5 Online Private Yoga Platforms and Their Teachers
Each platform is described with the same four items: how it works, what it costs, who it fits, and what you give up. Prices, session lengths, and policies are taken from what each company publishes. I have taken classes on MyYogaTeacher, Mywowfit, and Superprof, and what I saw as a customer is added under "From my own experience." These notes are from classes I took before this 2026 update, so details may have changed. I have not taken a class with Yoga Beyond The Studio.
After each platform, you will find sample teacher profiles from its public pages, checked on October 11, 2026. Credentials are shown as each teacher lists them on their own profile. We have not verified them against the Yoga Alliance registry. Photos are shown only for ONE OM ONE's teachers. For the other platforms, each profile link opens the teacher's own page. Teacher lineups change often, so please check each profile link for the latest details.
Monthly plans
ONE OM ONE
- How it works
- Monthly plans with up to 4, 15, or 30 private sessions of 45 minutes. You choose from 36 teachers in the instructor directory and can book the same teacher every week.
- Price
- Flex $68, Standard $128, Premier $188, and Elite $248 a month. That is from $6.27 per class when you use all 30 sessions on the Premier plan. Elite adds ongoing chat support. A 7-day trial costs $10 and includes up to 3 sessions.
- Good fit if
- You want a regular teacher who gets to know your body and your goals.
- Trade-offs
- Private sessions only. There are no group classes and no video library, and the teacher list is smaller than MyYogaTeacher's. Each plan also limits how many sessions you can have booked at one time, from 2 on Flex to 8 on Elite.

MyYogaTeacher
- How it works
- Live group classes and 1-on-1 sessions over Zoom with teachers from India. The site lists 200+ teachers and 70+ group classes available around the clock.
- Price
- Group classes start at $33 a month. Private plans start at $69 a month for 4 one-on-one sessions when you pay every 3 months, and they include unlimited group classes. A private session is 1 hour, with about 55 minutes of yoga, per its FAQ. The first session is free with no credit card, and the site lists HSA/FSA as accepted.
- Good fit if
- You want group classes and some private time in one membership.
- Trade-offs
- Group classes are a large part of the service. If you only want private sessions, compare the 1-on-1 price per class carefully.
- From my own experience
- The booking system was well built and easy to use.

Pay per session
Yoga Beyond The Studio
- How it works
- A husband-and-wife team that arranges private yoga at your home or office, or online over Zoom. You do not pick a teacher. In the site's words, "We match your class with one of our instructors instead of having you pick from a list."
- Price
- Online classes are listed at $99 for 30 minutes of meditation, $119 for 60 minutes of yoga, and $169 for 90 minutes of meditation and yoga. These are shown as sale prices, with regular prices of $119, $169, and $199. Up to 3 people can join for the same price.
- Good fit if
- You want to practice with a partner or family, or you may want in-person sessions as well.
- Trade-offs
- The price per class is higher than the monthly plans in this guide, and you cannot read teacher profiles before you book.
Teachers on Yoga Beyond The Studio
Yoga Beyond The Studio does not publish a teacher list. You are matched with an instructor after you book. The site says "Trusted by 3,000+ yogis" and "Teaching since 2016." The About page describes the co-founder, Shayna, as "a full-time yoga teacher and retreat leader with over 700 hours of specialized training." The instructor application page says, "We require all instructors to be registered with Yoga Alliance."
Mywowfit
- How it works
- One-on-one live sessions on Zoom with personal trainers, plus workout plans delivered through its app. The site lists 50+ personal trainers and says it does not do group or pre-recorded workouts.
- Price
- Live sessions start at $25 for 30 minutes, depending on the package. The first 30-minute trial session is $10. App-based plans are listed at $158 a month. The site lists HSA/FSA as eligible.
- Good fit if
- You want yoga as one part of a wider fitness program.
- Trade-offs
- Yoga is one of many services. On the day we checked, 4 of the 25 trainer cards listed yoga.
- From my own experience
- The intake survey was thorough. The classes I took followed a general structure.
Teachers on Mywowfit
Mywowfit is a personal training platform, and yoga is one of many services. Trainers appear as cards on one page, each linking to a profile, and only part of each credential list is shown on the card. Two of the trainers who list yoga are shown here.

Marketplace
Superprof
- How it works
- A large tutoring marketplace that covers many subjects, including yoga. Independent tutors write their own profiles and set their own prices and lesson lengths.
- Price
- Set by each tutor.
- Good fit if
- You want the widest choice and are comfortable screening teachers yourself.
- Trade-offs
- It is not a yoga-specific service. Training, quality, and policies depend on each tutor.
- From my own experience
- When I searched, the results were not always accurate. Tutors who only teach online sometimes appeared as local matches.
Teachers on Superprof
Superprof is an open marketplace. Tutors write their own profiles and set their own rates, so training and experience vary widely from one profile to the next. Read each tutor's profile and reviews before you book.
4. Benefits and Drawbacks of Private Yoga
Private yoga is not the right choice for everyone. Here is what you gain and what you give up compared with group classes.
Personal attention
The teacher plans the session around you. They can slow down, repeat a pose, or change it for a stiff back or a sore knee.
Feedback in real time
You hear right away when your posture or breathing is off, so you learn each pose correctly from the start.
A schedule that fits
You book times that work for you, which makes it easier to keep a steady practice during busy weeks.
Who it suits
- Beginners who want to learn the basics correctly
- People practicing with pain, stiffness, or an old injury
- Experienced students who feel stuck
- Busy people who need flexible times
- People who prefer to practice without a room full of others
Drawbacks
- It costs more per class than a group class.
- You miss the community feeling of a group.
- Much depends on finding a teacher who suits you.
- You see fewer styles than a studio schedule offers.
Yoga is not medical treatment. If you have a medical condition, talk with your doctor before you start.
5. Survey Findings
We ran a survey from August 2023 to April 2024. In it, 76% of respondents said they had run into a challenge in group yoga classes, and 82% had never taken a one-on-one class.
Have you experienced any challenges in group yoga sessions?
316 responses
If yes, what was the challenge?
241 responses
Have you ever taken a 1-on-1 yoga class?
333 responses
Source: ONE OM ONE survey, August 2023 to April 2024. The number of responses differs by question and is shown on each chart. Percentages are shares of the responses to that question.
6. In-Person vs Online Private Yoga
Both are one-on-one. The difference is what the teacher can do and what it takes to get there.
| In person | Online | |
|---|---|---|
| Adjustments | Hands-on corrections are possible | Verbal cues and demonstration. A clear camera angle helps the teacher see your alignment. |
| Travel | You or the teacher travels | None. You practice at home. |
| Teacher choice | Teachers near you | Teachers in other cities and countries |
| Price | Set by each teacher, usually per session | Per session or by monthly plan. See the table above. |
Many people use both. For a longer comparison, read In-Person vs. Online Private Yoga.
7. The History of Private Yoga
For most of yoga's history, teaching happened one teacher to one student. The Bhagavad Gita is a dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna. The word Upanishad is often traced to "sitting down near," a student settling close to a teacher. In the Gheranda Samhita, the sage Gheranda teaches a single seeker, Chandakapali.
Even the teacher often called the father of modern yoga, Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, taught students one at a time and shaped the practice to each person's age, body, and needs. His students, including B.K.S. Iyengar, Pattabhi Jois, Desikachar, and Indra Devi, went on to shape much of the yoga practiced today.
The large group class grew as yoga spread through the West and met modern fitness culture in the twentieth century. Group classes brought yoga to millions of people. Video calls now make it possible to return to the one-on-one form, with teachers and students in different countries.
8. Frequently Asked Questions
How much does online private yoga cost?
In this guide, single sessions run from $25 for a 30-minute live session on Mywowfit to $169 for a 90-minute class on Yoga Beyond The Studio. ONE OM ONE's monthly plans work out to from $6.27 per class when you use every session on the $188 plan. Compare the price per class, not only the monthly total.
Is online private yoga as good as in person?
They are different. Online, you lose hands-on adjustments. You gain a wider choice of teachers and you do not need to travel. A clear camera angle helps the teacher see your alignment.
How do I choose the right private yoga teacher?
Look at the teacher's training, the kinds of students they work with, and their open times in your time zone. Then take one session before you decide. Three of the five platforms have a free or low-cost first session. On the other two, you can book a single class without a plan.
How often should I take private yoga sessions?
Once a week is a common place to start. If you are working toward a specific goal, two or three sessions a week give the teacher more chances to adjust your practice.
A simple way to start. Pick one platform, use its trial or first session, and see how the teacher works with you. If you would like to start with ONE OM ONE, you can browse all 36 teachers or find a teacher by your goal.
