Two aspects motivated the development of this study: the increased use of new technologies in health and the democratization of internet access. Given the growing popularity of yoga practice we observe the increasing of virtual classes, contributing to the spread and gripof this new kind of practice, but research on the implications of this new trend in various contexts are very limited. With this motivation, we create Yoga classes offered in the virtual environment through education portal distance of UNESP with a virtual classroom project offered to 50 students of Yoga Extension Project UNESP Rio Claro during the vacation period. The virtual project showed that the vast majority of participants related well with the Platform as well as classes hosted there, despite any technical difficulties, the project "Yoga on Vacation" could be considered a successful design, pioneering and revealing new possibilities of using distance learning platforms.
