The LIGHTERLIVING LIBRARY membership is NOW on YOUTUBE!
Quick links
I am so happy to announce that your highly requested desire to see the entire lighterliving library to YouTube has been honoured. Much thanks to wonderful Bastian for the arduous hours of uploading and downloading over 200 videos!
With the new YouTube membership we are providing another option for those who prefer to view the content on YouTube instead of lighterlivinglibrary.com website (they are two different memberships: please read the FAQs below).
Some of you may now want to change from lighterliving library to Youtube. The price remains the same at $9.99 per month and the content is identical.
In order to choose your preferred platform, consider the following differences:
on lighterlivinglibrary.com there is a 15 day free trial and a search feature that allows you to find the right video, based on length of time, body-part focus, accessories, alphabetical order, newest workouts first and so on.
on YouTube the search feature and free trial are not yet available but you can stream the videos on smart TV's and other devices. To help you search we created playlists, with simple descriptions and I plan to add live Q and A sessions so that we can integrate what we learn. Stay tuned!
I invite you to try the YouTube membership by clicking on the "JOIN" button. Scroll down through the playlists and choose a workout video. If you love the workout you can begin to create your own playlist with your favorite lessons or a combination of many.
Feel free to share your favorites with each other and with me and as always let me know how I can help.
Please note that video titles and descriptions on Youtube are public however the videos themselves are only visible to those who join the channel membership. There are many free videos on my YouTube channel that you can sample before you click on the JOIN button.
Details on all YouTube channel memberships can be found here.
You don’t have to switch! The original lighterlivinglibrary will stay because so many of you love it as it is. If you are not already a member, try it for 15 days for free on the original website or give YouTube membership a go and see which platform you prefer. (Read the FAQ's below)
Be sure to share with friends who may benefit!
YouTube is in control of every aspect of their app, so there is little I can do to change how you experience it but I hope that this is an exciting option for those who requested it.
I look forward to seeing you in our live sessions and wish you a happy healthy wellness journey,
Marjolein
FAQs
Do I have to switch to YouTube?
No, you don’t have to switch. We are just giving everyone another option for those who prefer to view the content on YouTube instead of lighterlivinglibrary.com website. They are two different memberships, but the content is the same.
Why you want to switch to YouTube
To be able to watch the Aeropilates workouts on your tablet or smart tv using the Youtube native app (if supported by your device).
To be able to interact with me and comment on the videos.
Why you don’t want to switch to YouTube
No free trial on YouTube, whereas in the original library you have 15 days for free.
No yearly membership on YouTube, whereas in the lighterlivinglibrary.com we offer an annual payment with one month free per year.
No detailed descriptions of classes and workouts on YouTube, whereas the original library breaks down each video with detail.

Free Videos on YouTube
Free videos and classes are available on the Lighterliving YouTube channel. Remember to click on the “SUBSCRIBE” button (not the “JOIN” button) to receive free notifications about new free videos by Marjolein.
What happens if I am already paying for the lighterlivinglibrary.com membership?
Paying for the lighterlivinglibrary.com doesn’t automatically grant you access to the YouTube membership: YouTube doesn’t allow this at the moment. YouTube membership (with the JOIN button) and lighterlivinglibrary.com membership are two different things. You can choose the one you prefer: we are just giving another option for those who prefer to view the content on YouTube instead of lighterlivinglibrary.com website.
If you are already paying for the lighterlivinglibrary.com and want to switch, you have to cancel your current membership and then JOIN the YouTube membership. To cancel your membership on lighterlivinglibrary.com, see this page: https://www.lighterliving.com/lighterlivinglibrary-faq
To cancel your membership on the lighterliving YouTube channel, please read this page:

What’t the difference between the buttons JOIN and SUBSCRIBE on YouTube?
If you click the SUBSCRIBE button, you subscribe for free to the YouTube channel and you can watch a selection of free videos. It’s like the follow button on Instagram.
If you click on the JOIN button, you’ll pay a monthly fee and you’ll be able to watch members-only videos.
Please note that playlists, video titles and descriptions are public (anyone can see them) however the videos themselves can only be watched by those who joined the channel. There are many free videos on my YouTube channel that you can sample before you click on the JOIN button.
Why I cannot see the JOIN button?
(from YouTube help page)
There could be a number of reasons for this, including:
• The feature is not launched in all countries.
• The "JOIN" button is not yet launched on some platforms (for example iPhones and iPads). Viewers can, however, become members on desktop (or use the desktop view from a mobile browser). They can still get access to perks and members-only videos on all available platforms if they sign up on desktop.
• Log in to your YouTube account using a desktop computer and try to join using this link: https://www.youtube.com/lighterliving/join
