Commit to improving your health and mood with a daily yoga practice.
Today Ari exercises and learns to accept what he cannot change (like forgetting to charge the zoom recorder again).
On day 3 Ari gets angry, because you yoga cucks can't handle the pain. Will you make it to 52 minutes?
Today on day 4, Ari deals with forgiveness. He was mean on day 3, and it's time for you to get over it.
On day 5 Ari ponders trust. No one is sure why, but it seems to matter to him.
Today Ari starts his practice with a contemplation of the phrase "washer machine". Perhaps he is thankful to have clean t shirts, or that the machine isn't running this time while he tries to record good sound.
Leaves is the word for day 7 of Ari's Yoga Challenge. He's starting to understand plants now, and that's yoga as fuck.
On day 8 Ari begins the class thinking he's tired out his dog. But of course he didn't, Bandit is a puppy and wants to lick Ari's face no matter what. At least they get some yoga in.
Hangover. It's the word of the day. The entire class is on the mat. I don't know what else to tell you. It's day 9 - Namaste bitches.
A 30 minute practice flies by while Ari Shaffir perfects his classic moves. "Kick the ethnic" has improved greatly since it's introduction on day 2. So much so that Ari vows to touch his toes by the end of this challenge.
Finally - a child friendly version! Ari makes it through an entire episode without swearing or being lewd. So gather the whole family for day 11 of Ari Shaffir's Yoga Challenge.
Ari continues his journey through Coronavirus quarantine with a class outside. There's no more wall to hang on to, and no level ground either. Listen to the birds as he kicks off his mic cord, it's only for a moment after all.
Today Ari breaks in to a neighbors garage to bring you the 13th day of yoga. It's cold and the concrete hurts his knees, but none of that matters as long as he keeps making these classes.
Today Ari reaches a new low in the rumpus room of his parents basement. There are no plants, and he doesn't know where they keep things anymore. Soon he will decorate, but he might have to scour the forest because all the shops are closed.
Today is a hard class, because it's day 15 and we should be making progress. Do we have plants now? Yes we have a couple. And we have a wall again, so there's no excuses.
Today Ari gets deep with some stories about an S&M sex club he visited once. He also tries out a sequence suggestion from one of the fans, and it turns out to be not that bad.
In today's practice, Ari doesn't swear once. Even when he makes a mistake, or more impressively when he hits his head on a toy truck. You can definitely let your kids watch this, they may even learn to respect their parents.
This practice is for the ladies. You're never going to break the glass ceiling, but you can clean the lint tray. And that's something your man will find you attractive for, as long as you lose that muffin top.
Today Ari blows through his quarantine stash to celebrate 4/20. Sure the edibles will last longer than the pre-rolls, but is life really going to be worth living at that point?
This is a short class because Ari's getting old and his back hurts almost constantly. But he does have friends who have been to India more than once, and that makes him better than you.
Ari's dressed in white because he's a doctor of back pain. He also never got up off the mat once, so take his claims with a grain of salt.
Today Ari adds blocks and a new camera angle, because he's a great teacher that has friends who have been to India more than once. Make sure you stretch all the way till the end where he tells some Yogi stories.
Today Ari forgot to brush his teeth or take a shower, but he did add a third camera angle. So you can see a new side of him as he flows through poses.
Today Ari contemplates silence as he recounts stories of hot yoga in LA. He also attempts to touch his toes again. How is he going to make it all the way down in the next 5 days?
In this episode Ari does some deep leg stretching in preparation for the big toe touch. He also sings a pretty sweet song at the beginning while allowing his puppy to eat his socks. Great job if you've made it this far, you're only 3 days away from enlightenment.
Ari finally takes the time to thank his unofficial sponsors.
Today Ari proves his enlightenment by attracting all manner of wildlife including ticks, deer and a lady bug. It's probably because he's getting so close to day 30 and the natural world can feel it.
Guys, today we've achieved enlightenment. I knew we could do it all along. Here's the music:
Yogi Ari is back from nirvana. Summertime flowers, camera angle 2 and a fence for Bandit. Keep your enlightenment current with the latest class.
Have your morning coffee and join Yogi Ari in a class designed to compact your shit. Fart, but keep it inside and blame others. Namaste.
Develop your oh yea, breathe technique with something even more aggressive. And be thankful that Yogi Ari is still teaching this class, he doesn't need you.
Today Ari shows you how to practice on the most uneven of ground. Is it perfect? Yes. Yogi Ari is perfect.
Watch as Yogi Ari slowly kills his Zoom recorder. You might think the mid roll popping is bad, but wait till it actually dies! Oh yea, also nature is important for enlightenment and stuff.
Today Ari gets ready for his NY return by wearing a mask in the sun. He sweats a lot but makes sure to replace all the lost liquids with whiskey.
Bring a glass and cheers goodbye to the basement yoga studio. Next class Ari will be back in NY, finally free from his kidnappers.
Shroomfest is here! Ari brings you this week's class from Big Jay Oakerson's salt water pool. So chew on a couple stems and get centered.
Ari is a real yogi, and sometimes real yogi's get interrupted. It doesn't mean they're just renting the set. You're reading too much into it.
Ari's in rehab guys, so stop talking to him about Shroomfest. Also make sure you thank Big Jay for his kindness, it's not every comic that would open his mansion to a degenerate.
Ari's back in his NY studio, the original location for his yoga teachings. Who would have predicted he'd be 40 episodes deep before he got to use it? #AriForPresident
For this week's yoga class, comedian Ari Shaffir's looked some stuff up. It will challenge your sense of connection and deepen your appreciation for the poses that came before. Also there's a tip about smoking more efficiently.
Get off your asses you fat lazy losers because Yogi Ari has a 30-minute yoga class packed into a 20-minute video for you. Namaste.
It's a rare chair session this week with Yogi Ari. Get wasted and do some lazy stretching, he's not going to push you that hard.
Comedian Joe List joins Ari Shaffir for a yoga class in Central Park. What could be more wholesome than two men smoking cigars and stretching? There's plenty of cute girls to watch along the way.
New York comedian Mike Vecchione joins Ari Shaffir to school him in Bikram Yoga. A traditional class is supposed to be an hour, but Ari doesn't want to push you too hard. Enjoy the Manhattan skyline as they take you through various 10 counts.
Indulge in a quick yoga class with comedian and enlightened teacher Ari Shaffir. Are his examples unnecessarily sexual? Yes. But what else are you supposed to say about the human body in motion?
Comedians Robert Kelly and Ari Shaffir head to Tompkins Square Park for another edition of Yoga with Ari. Sometimes you need a partner to stretch you out. Who better than your no homo bro?
Yogi Ari is back with another inspiring weekend class. Learn to just tune it out. Stretch and have some laughs. Or just enjoy the Manhattan view. Namaste.
Yogi Ari returns! After many months of getting fat like Bert Kreischer #Bertisfat, our beloved yogi has begun to record his teachings again. This class is a cup of tea, quite literally. If you can breathe in and out, you can do this workout. Enjoy the view from his undisclosed location, it sure does pay to be in exile.
Merry Christmas everyone! Yogi Ari has prepared a special class filled with deep breathing and smoke filled joy. Watch him relight a fire several times while sweating profusely. Namaste.
Get ready for the 31 Day January Challenge with #YogiAri's last warm up class! Grab a cup of coffee (or whatever you hide your alcohol in) and get stretching. Trust us, we know what we're doing.
Day one of the new year starts with a sunrise and some repercussions. What will you make of your January? Yogi Ari thinks you should stick to a yoga practice every single day this month, so he's prepared a multitude of classes. Inner peace awaits.
Day 2, we're really going to stretch this time guys. Yesterday was just a "warm up" because of the molly hangover. Suggest some new moves in the comments.
Day 3 begins with a focus on "understanding", but that doesn't really go anywhere. The point is you made it to day 3 with #YogiAri. Leave a new pose in the comments. Namaste.
Comedian and Yogi Ari Shaffir teaches a yoga class designed to get you ripped and closer to Nirvana. He doesn't make mistakes because he is a perfect being.
Even if you’re doing it wrong you’re still doing it. Join #YogiAri on Day 6 of 31 Day Challenge — a massive fog storm is coming but we’re breathing baby!
Out of the fog arises Day 7. You’re one week into #YogiAri’s 31 day Challenge, congrats on doing it! Come explore “heartfelt-edness” and Bikram. (Not the horrific parts). Let’s take over the world!
Whiskey? Check. Yoga mat? Check. Nirvana? We’re getting there! Join #YogiAri as he guides you to pure Enlightenment -- the fast way. We’re yoga as fuck on Day 8 of 31 January Yoga Challenge.
Enjoy our last day at this beautiful lookout. It's #YogiAri's fault, but honestly, you wouldn't like him if he wasn't a drug addict. Well maybe you would, and maybe that's why we're on this journey together. Sobriety is just as cool? #Acceptance
A bit of meditation from Central Park in New York City. World-renowned yogi @Ari Shaffir studied at the feet of Dr. Shavasana Otorohanajanadan at the University of New Delhi (NW campus) where he learned the yogic teachings of Buddha.
Yogi Ari starts the class with a “reverse harem” which is a neck roll that pantomimes performing oral sex on multiple women. He is thankful for his percolator and notes that it was the kind of day where he was high nonstop. Definitely a class for the stoners.
More stray dogs join #YogiAri for today's class devoted to overcoming challenges, especially ones that come in the form of assholes. Continue toward enlightenment & enjoy the soothing sounds of a babbling brook that masks the pained whimpers of @Ari Shaffir as he nurses a disintegrating knee.
Day 13 is a time to think about Jewish manhood. Join #YogiAri in the hot, mid-day sun for a class focused on actual moves he just learned in the comments. Although Yogi Ari is an all-knowing being, it's possible he got @Joey Diaz's birthday wrong. Still - it wouldn't hurt for you to message him.
Saddle up for another session of Yoga With Ari With Beer. How else can one find true zen during times like these? Stretch those muscles, line up your chakras, and dear god, if you're a woman, remember what Buddha himself said: For you, yoga is for practicing, not teaching. Also, witness a once-a-millennium sincere moment of gratitude from Ari to all his patrons whom he appreciates greatly for the excellent yoga backdrops for his teachings. Ari Shaffir will get you stretchy.
Cinematographer. Audio tech. Key Grip, Best Boy, Line Producer, Director. #YogiAri is not just a supreme spiritual guru transcending all constraints of the physical world, he's also an independent filmmaker (who occasionally hits the record button on all of his cameras). Join him today as he celebrates Incan history, culture, and botany. With a cigar.
Congratulations on reaching the halfway point of the 31 Day January Yoga Challenge! Celebrate your accomplishment by communing with nature. In perhaps his most challenging class yet, #YogiAri @Ari Shaffir avoids a cow pie, meets the bovine version of Bandit, and prays the straight away.
In the midst of sitting in a pile of ants and getting burnt by the sun, Yogi Ari is bringing you some new moves, and a little bit of cardio. New moves include: Kick the Ethnic (they’re the only one who doesn’t look like the people at the party, but they’re someone’s friend, so you’ve got to stop yourself from kicking them out the door), and also, a form of bicycle twists - Yogi Ari style.
In order to avoid being eaten alive by mosquitoes, Yogi Ari tries to make this class under 20mins (didn’t happen). Yogi Ari pulls from his college sexual excursions to teach you moves - like fucking that really tall chick on the basketball team.
Meditation Day. 10 minutes of meditation, 15 minutes of yoga moves. In a bit of a rush so as to not be discovered, this practice keeps things quiet and discreet.
No more Mr. Nice Guy, Ari is getting down to business and he’s got a pretty serious episode with new yogi moves he stole from a class he took recently. Good thing this location is beautiful because some of these poses are going to push you, like “smash the patriarchy” or “you’re a junky for cigarettes,” they’re pretty self-explanatory.
For #YogiAri, 21 is a spiritual number. It symbolizes the rite of passage of turning 21. Plus he has a religious connection to the hit 1908s TV show 21 Jump Street.
Day 22 of 31 "Soap Opera Edition" January ChallengeToday's class is on a slanted mountainside but don't let that stop you from finding inner peace and equilibrium. In this "Soap Opera Edition," nothing can keep Yogi Ari from his practice. Not rain, not rape, and certainly not cannibalism.
Yogi Ari is in the Amazon for Day 23, and in the Amazon, the rain comes and goes faster than Ari can finish his practice. Remember, we're stretching, not popping, and since it's Day 23, Yogi Ari is encouraging you to demand from your significant other that they munch that box. Tell him in the comments if you get it done.
You have entered the first of three classes in which #YogiAri will guide you through the 7 Chakras of Death. Today you will explore the first three chakras and learn what it means to twist, gather, and purge your nads. Only former standup comedian Ari Shaffir has the fortitude to challenge the Gods like this.
Part two of #YogiAri’s advanced-level course, “The 7 Chakras of Death.” Learn about chakras five, six, and seven by doing some of Ari’s most controversial poses: ‘Let The Mexicans In,’ ‘Look Out For The Pedophiles,’ and ‘You Can’t Sue Me If You Get Hurt Attempting This Headstand.’
This is the third installment of #YogiAri Shaffir's special excursion through the 7 Chakras of Death. Upon completion, you will be one step closer to enlightenment and Yogi Ari will cement his spiritual dominance over Lady Niguma. Remember to have something green ready to work out your third eye.
Today on yoga with Ari, it’s Yin Yoga! And if you don’t know what Yin Yoga is, it’s stretching. Yogi Ari brings you moves that will loosen you up and improve flexibility along with a relaxing meditation at sunset that turns into a dark, ominous, night with the birds. Does Yogi Ari make it out alive? Find out tomorrow…
Wow, three days left with Yogi Ari Shaffir. His pants are starting to stink and he almost went this entire series without getting discovered by locals.
It’s day 30 and if Yogi Ari Shaffir doesn’t make it off this bridge alive, then this will only be a 30 Day Challenge. Don’t say he never brought you beautiful locations or amazing yoga practices. Finish off this challenge with a hard body and a degree in Yoga. You can still purchase your “I Majored in Yoga” Shirts, support women, and buy a shirt!

Comedian Robert Kelly and Comedian and renowned Yogi Ari Shaffir in Robert Kelly’s backyard! Just after it rained on a nice cold morning. Robert Kelly’s belly is full of soup and Ari Shaffir’s is full of nothing. It’s how he stays so good at yoga. This is a very hands-on class, and by that I mean Yogi Ari’s hands are all on Bobby Kelly making sure he doesn’t hurt himself. He does pretty great and Doodles and Bandit think so too.
Comedian Ryan Sickler and Yogi Ari Shaffir get stretchy in the @The HoneyDew Podcast studio. If you make it through the first 7 mins of this class, you’ll get to some better audio and a very flexible Ryan Sickler. Believe it or not, Ryan can touch his toes, even though your Yogi can’t.

Comedian Nick Youssef Takes on Yoga with Ari Shaffir at the Fat Black Pussy Cat and all its daytime grime. Nick does yoga at home but not the way Ari does it. Really hard and made up on the spot.

Joining Ari Shaffir at Fat Black Pussy Cat in the West Village (totally different day than the Yoga with Ari episode with Nick Youssef by the way) and did some yoga for the injured.

For the last installment of Yoga with Ari & Friends, comedian, and everyone's friend, Mark Normand joins Ari Shaffir for some yoga on the roof during a bustling New York day.
