Absolutely LOVE this app!

YogaGlo is beyond phenomenal especially with the new programs that they’ve added, which is a training course that can go several weeks long. They have the largest selection of catalogs for classes and teachers and programs that I have ever seen and the Apple TV app works perfectly.
Yes, it’s expensive. Yes, it’s worth it.

This is probably the most expensive yoga app on the App Store. And, in my mind, it’s absolutely worth it. The criteria I’m using here are variety of classes and the quality of those classes with overall app experience a somewhat distant third, unless it’s unusable. Yogaglo has every other app beat in terms of quantity, especially for classes that are useful for a newb like me. I can actually do the level one classes in this app, unlike any of the others I’ve tried (and I’ve tried so many of them!). The competition seems to assume I’m in great shape and can stand on just my fingertips or bend backwards and rest my palms on the floor—and that’s for the alleged beginner classes. Yogaglo is different; its beginner classes actually work for an overweight guy like me who sits way too much (... they even have a whole collection of classes precisely to address that!). The classes clearly list the required props. No more starting a class, really enjoying it, and then hearing the instructor reference a prop I don’t have. And this is just one of the things I like about the classes themselves. They’re not rushed, they allow students to actually get the benefit of the poses—particularly for the slower, deeper yin classes (a yoga app with yin classes? I’m as surprised as you), this is the whole point. The instructors give clear instructions for substituting common props and making alterations for poses that are beyond what a student can do. This is the kind of instruction people go to classes for, so getting it when I can’t make it to class is worth the price in my mind. Overall, Yogaglo is a polished, professional experience, with the largest library of classes on the App Store. The price reflects that. Maybe for advanced students a cheaper option with less guidance would work better, but for those of us who still have a bit of trouble with downward facing dog, Yogaglo has just the right level of guidance. Just like one’s practice, it’s not perfect and there are things to improve. I’d love a way to search for programs (themed collections of classes) using the same powerful filtering I can use for individual classes. There are a few UI bugs, particularly around enabling offline mode where the navigation button to go back to the main menu disappears. It’s a great start, and with a little bit more polish would be better still. Perhaps something for the developer to lobby Apple about: if I do a class with my Apple TV, I’d love to track the class on my watch and write the data for it to the Health / Activity apps. This way I won’t need to start it on my phone and AirPlay every time. Again, just that little bit of polish to make an already great experience even better.
Great teachers, great app...

...but I can’t seem to download classes for offline viewing. Please help?
Can't watch classes on app offline as they advertise

The classes are good and they have a good selection of teachers. They advertise that you can watch classes offline, but after downloading a class you still need wifi or another connection to access the app, so I haven't been able to do this.
Yoga Every Day
Ajbdavis
I’ve been using YogaGlo for years. It is so wonderful to be able to find a yoga practice that will fit my varying needs every day, whether I have fifteen minutes or an hour, whether I am getting over an illness, healing an injury, or building up strength. I have found incredible teachers and routines that I use every day.
Impossible to cancel
Regretful Subscriber
If you're interested in signing up for something that keeps charging your credit card despite multiple requests to cancel your membership and virtually nowhere on the internet to find how to do so (it isn't listed under iTunes or app subscriptions like others) and never get your money back, then by all means, sign up.
Needs work.....

Good idea but horribly delivered.... The lack of production/post-production in basically every class is more than distracting, it’s totally jarring & takes away from the center focus of practicing yoga!! Additionally, I found most everything about this app to be mediocre & less than expected. ?
Love it
