Live-Stream of Classes
Dear friends,
What a challenging time! What an important time to stay connected even when we cannot gather in the same room.
Since we cannot gather in person, we will hold all our classes through “Live-Stream” using a “Zoom” platform. It is a technological leap for many of us, and we will do our best to make it work. There will be lots of mistakes and some frustration; hopefully there will also be lots of laughter as we figure it out together.
SCROLL DOWN FOR LINKS TO LIVE-STREAM CLASSES
Instructions to connect with one of our classes:
1. For each class, you will see a link that looks something like: https://zoom.us/j/123456789 (this is not a real one....)
2. Determine what type of device you want to use to connect. Once you have made this decision, simply read your section below.
Mobile Device (iPhone, iPad, Android phone, Android tablet)
First, visit your app store to download the Zoom app. Just before the start time click on the link to automatically open the meeting in your app: https://zoom.us/j/123456789 (again, this is the sample, use the 9-digit number for that class)
Computer (Windows or Mac, Desktop or Laptop)
Click on that same link (looks like https://zoom.us/j/123456789 )before the meeting. A few of these tutorial videos may help: Joining a Meeting, Testing your Audio, Managing Controls in the Meeting. There may be an intermediate step of downloading a program and running it. Just follow the instructions it gives you, but you might want to allow a few minutes.
Telephone (audio only)
Mobile phone: click 16465588656, 123456789# (use the actual 9-digit number in the link...)
Land line: Dial 1-646-558-8656. When prompted for the Meeting ID, enter 123456789# followed by the pound key (#). (again, use the actual 9-digit link)
Classes being live-streamed:
* Please note when live-streaming classes, instructors will not be able to see you to correct postures. Please take special care to monitor yourselves and know your own limitations.
