TIPS FOR VIEWING YOGAVIBES.COM CLASSES AND VIGNETTES

YogaVibes.com is proud to offer streaming full yoga classes and vignettes, most of which are in high definition (HD). It is very important to us that you enjoy our classes with as few problems as possible. There are certain factors that may effect your experience, such as your Internet connection and computer's age. Here are some tips to ensure that you have the optimal YogaVibes.com experience:

1. Broadband connection
If the video you're playing starts to pause, the likely culprit is your Internet connection. We highly recommend a broadband connection to view our videos. However, if you have a slower connection or are in a public setting (such as a hotel) where you are sharing a connection, we recommend allowing the player to download, or buffer, at least half the video before attempting to play.

2. Computer age and components
Older computers typically have older video cards, modems and other components less equipped to handle video or other interactive content. If you think your computer may be hindering your YogaVibes.com experience, try updating the drivers for the software of your computer and updating your Web browser's version to the latest available. Typically, newer Web browser versions are equipped with the latest players and components to handle interactive content. 

3. Flash player
The YogaVibes.com video player uses Adobe Flash technology to stream our online content. Please be sure you have the latest version of Adobe Flash Players installed to get the best YogaVibes.com experience. The player is free and you can download here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

YogaVibes.com streams high definition vignettes and classes. For the optimal YogaVibes.com experience, your computer should have, at a minimum, a Pentium 4 processor and 1GB of RAM. A broadband internet connection is strongly recommended to prevent long buffering times and other bandwidth issues. If you find you are having problems due to bandwidth, we recommend pausing the video and allowing the buffer to fill and a major portion of the video to load. The time this takes will vary depending on your bandwidth connection. Once a large portion of the video has loaded you should be able to watch the video continuously. If the problem is still not resolved, please contact Customer Support at support@yogavibes.com for assistance. We will find the cause of the problem and notify you when the problem has been resolved. In your email please provide us with your operating system (Windows XP, etc.), Web browser, Web browser version, and what version of Adobe Flash Player you have installed.

10.  Who can I contact if I am interested in advertising on YogaVibes.com?
Email your contact information to info@yogavibes.com.

11. What should I do if my video stops short of the class length?
If the video you are watching suddenly pauses for a long period time, the most common cause is the buffering of the video. When you play a video, your computer will download a certain amount of the video to stream in the player. The speed of the download is based on the speed of your Internet connection. If you are on a slower connection, including some slower broadband connections, the played video will catch up with the amount of video downloaded thus far. When this happens, the player may pause. If this happens, wait a few minutes to allow for the buffered video to build in your player. Once this has happened, move the timeline scrubber (white arrow) slightly to the left. The video should start playing. However, if your video does not restart, or pauses in the same spot as before, please contact Customer Support at support@yogavibes.com for assistance. We will find the cause of the problem and notify you when the problem has been resolved. In your email please provide us with your operating system (Windows XP, etc.), Web browser, Web browser version, and what version of Adobe Flash Player you have installed.
