About

Live classes, taught by real teachers in real time. Not a wellness app.

Before Ompractice I taught yoga, wrote about the wellness world, and spent a while figuring out what live video could mean for people who move for a living.

In 2017 I saw the future and together our team built Ompractice for you.
