have been using this app for a wail now and like it just wish there where more workouts once you start to learn poses and when it asks would you like to keep working out it puts you right back into the workout you just did instead of something different (or of your choosing). these are things that could change but don t keep me from using this app a few times a week.
As the name indicates, for beginners, or it has been a good while since you last really stretched, or are just not very flexible, the app points you in the right direction. Always consult with a physician of course, and listen to your body. If something feels painful or off in anyway, skip the stretch or consultant your doctor. It's all mentioned in the app. Works pretty well for me, no issues whatsoever, and gets the job done untill I grow out of what the app provides.
My friend had this app on her iPhone and it looked super cool with everything you could do and I downloaded it on my Samsung and there's like 10? Options. (I only have Samsung products and I hope you can possibly update it?) Edit: its been updated a little upset with how expensive it is, being that it was free before and for 60 dollars a year seems like a bit much, but love the custom session option and the different kinds of programs
Uninstalling now because IV learned what I need from it. That's why I wanted to rate it. Definitely a very informative app. There were programs or games like I was expecting, but it gave me the tools to make my own. The "routines" we're a little redundant; the same workouts just arranged different. It not very interactive (hense the misging 🌟) but 10/10 learning tool.
This app was great before the update the format is weird and hard to navigate. It used to be free with ads which was no problem but they went the route of locking content and asking for membership. It used to be convenient and I loved it now I feel like it's falling into the same money hungry patterns of everyone else as well as making it a stress to use rather than relatively easy.
I like this app. It has a small variety of sequences that won't overwhelm or intimidate. You can adjust the number of times you go through each sequence which gives you some control over the time. If you can't do certain poses, you can skip ahead easily. But, I want to love this app. I wish that there were more cues within the poses...reminders to breathe, adjustments to check, that kind of thing, especially for newbies. I find myself second-guessing my poses which takes me out of my focus.
Was initially discouraged when realizing there wasn't a real instructor leading the session,(bummer!) then I realized a video clip with a real instructor was provided w/each exercise to explain how it's done. The only problem I found was that there was no way to refer to the clip and then return to where I left off in my routine; app took me back to beginning and I would have to manipulate to get back to where I left off. Its possible I missed something. Felt my back open up after workout!
Its not bad but has room for improvement. A little confusing at first to figure out how it works, and what settings are adjustable but otherwise simple. Seems to lack poses/moves and i can see someone leaving the app to expand their sessions. As others mention the voice is short commanding-like. For me I was bothered by the setup of the poses choosen. Up, down, up, laydown...very choppy lacking flow and not relaxing. Also I enjoy creating my own routine and this app lacked that feature.
Nice overall. The audio should say "right" or "left" when the pose has a left and right variant. Also I like it better in my other app when the audio counts down: " 3, 2, 1, start." Maybe for the end as well. I also like when the audio says halfway done, because some poses are more challenging than others.
This app used to be good until the update. Now it's difficult to navigate, and seems to promote unhealthy habit as there is now an option to track your weight and attempt to lose weight, with notes of how many calories each routine burns. This can be triggering for people who have struggled with eating disorders, and is not what yoga is supposed to be about. It's hard to find my old routines, and I don't see why anyone would subscribe to the paid content when the app has become so cluttered.
I'm torn. I like the workouts in the app but some of the functionality is not there. You can mark favorites but then they don't show up anywhere. I tried the premium version and the only difference is no ads. Plus it's a little strange that the pictures of the app don't look like the app itself.
I was looking for a very simple yoga app. Actually I was hoping to find one that just had sets of flows in swipable cards that you can just page through and do on your own Accord. This app pretty much meets that goal, but also has a timer and verbal instructions. It's just right for someone who may only have 10 free minutes to set aside for yoga. But you can do longer sessions or even do several different short sessions for a longer workout.
At first all the options intimidated me but it was actually really simple to navigate when I really looked. I've done yoga three times a day all this week and my back feels AMAZING. I was worried it'd be too hard, I'm flexible enough but I'm autistic and that messes with my balance and motor skills, but I actually think I've gotten more coordinated and balanced.
This app is awesome, I use ot after I work out to help stretch myself and cool down, and it works great. There are a likited amount of courses, but that doesnt bother me because i dont do hard core yoga, i just wanted something to relax me. It works great for that, especially with the calming music in the backround. I highly recommend this app for beginners like me.
super easy to follow. they may not give you a video walk through but the images are straight forward and to the point they have super simple beginner routines to get started and it made me (a man afraid of trying yoga bc I'm surrounded by nay sayers who have never actually tried it) into yoga fanboy. Cannot recommend enough.
I loved this app before because it was super simple to use and get started with. I came back and had to scour the app store because I couldn't believe it was the same app. It's so complicated now and genuinely caused me to give up because I don't know where anything is and all my favorite routines are freaking gone now. And it's a miracle if the dang program you do choose even loads properly to add onto it.
Awesome! Very Beginner Friendly! Love It! Its been a total Year and 1/2 that I have been using this app and i still love it! Great for Early Morning Stretches and mid day stretches at work, and Before Bed Flexibility Stretches. Helped my stiff back TREMENDOUSLY, and is very relaxing to use with background music, and very simple, with great How-To Videos.
very cheap implementation of a yoga app. videos are randomly picked from YouTube so the video for the shoulder stretch is someone's 24 minute workout video. speech is computer and very low volume. if you leave the "background" music on its louder than the voice. instructions and illustrations are very basic. Ads are annoying, largely because it isn't obvious how to close them.
I kept telling myself I'd get back into yoga when I could feel rested in the mornings again after having a baby. Was super excited cause I loved this app before, it's been on my phone for ages, scrolled through the new kinda tricky format, picked a couple programs to start easing myself in with. Go to do them the next day what do you know locked behind a paywall. This used to be a great FREE app. I'm sure the programs are still lovely if you pay but I won't be.
This app provides short series of excercises. Perfect to fit in excercise in any schedule. I suggest is to incorporate some breathing excercises before and after each session. Another downside is the series do not transition smoothly between postures. In other words these are not "flows".
