Are you a Yogi or a fan of Yoga? Hosting or attending classes virtually for a few months now and may continue to do so for awhile? It’s pretty convenient and safe to do yoga from the comfort of our home and practice social distancing. But you still need to watch over your participants or have your Yogi keep an eye on your positions to ensure you are aligned properly. Good solid uninterrupted steaming is important to both, participant and instructor.  

In the most simple setup, you only need a smartphone with solid Internet access. Set it up on a tripod, choose the platform you’re streaming to (YouTube, Twitch, Facebook Live, Zoom, etc.) and you’re done. If you want it to be more professional, you can go with a video system with several cameras and a specialized streaming software to change views.

A solid Internet connection is the most important things when you live stream yoga classes. You need Connection:

• reliability – no disconnects
• speed – bandwidth & latency, no drops in upload bandwidth to generate poor quality video being streamed
• security – no vulnerabilities while streaming

This article will share how to live stream yoga classes and not get into any of those pesky Internet problems.

In most cases it’s about the capacity of your internet connection. A lot of bandwidth is required to ensure your yoga classes live stream is smooth with crisp audio and video.

Here’s what usually happens, from a more technical perspective:

• There’s not enough bandwidth available for your live stream so either the quality drops (jittery / choppy video) and/or you see disconnects
• The WiFi coverage is spotty – this leads to disconnects
• The WiFi hotspot is offline, but your device connects to it – your mobile device clings to it as it cannot tell it doesn’t work. So, instead of switching back to LTE to keep the stream going, it will disconnect it.

What can you do to livestream your classes without head aches? Read below.

Bottom line – you want to avoid being disconnected while livestreaming your classes. And, of course, have a constantly good video streaming quality. Relying on a single ISP can get you in trouble. So, relying on two or more ISPs is better. Best case scenario for live streaming your event with solid Internet: you combine 2 or more connections at once from different ISPs with a channel bonding app designed for streaming like Speedify. 

Speedify utilizes channel bonding technology allowing you to use 2 (or more) connections at the same time. It’s the only software bonding service that can run on any device, whether it’s a desktop or laptop computer, smartphone or tablet.

If one of your connections fails, Speedify automatically reroutes all the traffic through your other available connection(s). This happens in the background without you having to do anything. When the dropped connection is back online, Speedify will pick it up and start using it again.

At least that’s what our customers say. Here’s an example.

As a fast bonding VPN, Speedify acts like a power-up for your device. Instead of only using a single Internet connection at a time, Speedify allows your device to use multiple connections simultaneously. You’ll get more bandwidth and more stable livestreams.

Speedify constantly monitors the quality of your Internet connections. If the Wi-Fi becomes unreliable, it’ll automatically reroute data through cellular data until Wi-Fi is available again.

Moreover, it automatically identifies audio and video streams, and provides quality of service (QoS) by prioritizing streams over other traffic. Web browsing and software updates can’t mess up your calls and live streams.
