The Underbelly is an online yoga subscription founded by yoga teacher and author Jessamyn Stanley with co-founder Mary Carr, based in Durham, North Carolina. It is a body-affirming, inclusive practice built for all body types and experience levels, delivered as on-demand video classes alongside daily affirmations, so you can start where you are rather than where a studio expects you to be.
Membership costs $19.99 a month or $180 a year after a seven-day free trial, and it can be cancelled at any time. The service works on the web and as an app on both iOS and Android, where it was an Apple Featured App of the Day, and it also sells branded merchandise alongside the class library. Stanley is the author of Every Body Yoga and Yoke and has been covered in Vogue, Forbes, Cosmopolitan and The New York Times.
There is no studio to visit; the subscription is online only, run out of Durham, with support handled through the site rather than a phone line. If a yoga class has ever felt like it was not built for your body, start the free trial and see how this one feels.
