YouTube has thousands of good yoga and mobility videos, and they are free. This page is not about whether they are good. It is about whether you will do them on day twelve.

When free videos are the right choice
You already exercise regularly, you know roughly what your body needs and you like picking a session. Free videos are also a sensible way to try a style before paying for anything, for example with channels such as Yoga With Adriene. The cost is not money but planning: you decide the order and the progression.
Done searching for the right video? The 7-Day Move Better Reset puts 7 short sessions in order, 10 to 15 minutes a day. Session 1 is free with a free account, so you can compare it with your usual videos.
Try session 1 freeSee the full 8-week programWhen a program is worth paying for
- You have started a routine two or more times in the past year and stopped within a few weeks.
- You do not want to think about what to work on today.
- You do not know what to do for stiff hips, back or shoulders without searching.
- You want each week to build on the last.
- You like knowing when it ends.
What a program does that an app library does not
You do not decide what to work on
With a library, every morning starts with a choice: which body area, which length, which teacher. Move Better removes that choice. The program is progressive and works through the whole body in order, so you open today's session and press play. The benefit is not more content. It is fewer decisions on the days you least feel like deciding.
It is not personalised, and it is not generic either
Move Better does not build a plan around you. It is designed for general stiffness, the kind that comes from sitting a lot and not moving enough, and it is built from feedback gathered over 1000+ live classes. That is what the sequence and the pacing are based on.
It adapts to your level and you can repeat it
The sessions work for beginners and for people who are already active, and you can do the whole program several times. Because you do the same sessions with a body that has changed, it stays varied.
A tracker and weekly reminders are built in
Inside the program there is a tracker for your stiffness, your energy and your habits, so you can see what is changing, not just what you watched. A weekly reminder helps you remember to come back and keep going.
A teacher, if you want one
The sessions are pre-recorded, but Stéphanie is available on request for online private sessions if you want your form checked or a plan around an injury. See private yoga or get in touch.
What Move Better students say about the rhythm
"Finally getting back into a stretching rhythm after wanting to for years!"
"It’s very good for getting into a rhythm and working on the mobility."
What Move Better does not do
It does not build a plan around you, and it is pre-recorded, so it cannot see you unless you book a private session with Stéphanie. If you have pain, an injury or want your form corrected, a live teacher or a physiotherapist is the better first step.

Before you start
If you have joint pain, a recent injury, osteoporosis, a heart condition or you have not exercised for a long time, check with your doctor or a physiotherapist before starting a new routine, whichever option you choose.
