Really good

patriciajones82

This is one of the best yoga apps I've found. Love to use it with my Apple Watch!

Apparently, if you don't sync the Watch at the start of the workout, it will only give you credit in the health app for time it was synced....super annoying. Made me miss my goal BUT... I do like the app, just want bigger variety and ability to adjust time in more increments.

The yoga habit

I love having three basic practices with variable timing (30min, 45, 60) -- no excuses about too little time, and easy to incorporate into my routine. Love!

The app is terrific by all means but from a personal pov the voice that's supposed to guide our session is very soothing as to what I feel a session should be like. Too stern honestly.

Really good even for beginner

I read the reviews before downloading...many said that you really needed some amount of yoga experience to use this app well. I disagree. I have never done any yoga, I don't know any terms or any poses. I did a beginner "class" with this app and it was fine. It does move fairly quickly from one pose to the next in a few places and I could not always keep up, but I am guessing that this would be the case in a "real live" class as well. Once I know the names of the poses, it will be easy enough to get where I need to be. When I was slow responding, fine, let it go, I would just jump back in on the next pose. I am sure my posture was a bit off, at least some of the time; but as long as you can look at the picture and see where your body should be, you should get it right fairly soon. Everything has a learning curve, whether you have someone teaching you or are learning on your own. I do have a bit of an advantage; I have been a world medalist in a martial art which requires me to get my body in the right position quickly, and to be able to move from one to another randomly, quickly, and accurately. However, the positions required by yoga poses are nothing I have ever done before. I like this app and would recommend it to anyone who has any interest in yoga.

App is good, needs better support

If you’ve never done the poses before, you’ll need a little practice before you get the hang of it (it does move pretty quickly), but overall the animations and voice guidance are very helpful. However, while the app is simple to use during the actual yoga, I’ve had nothing but issues getting it to sync properly with my Apple Watch. First the workout showed up, but not the active calories. Now, nothing shows up at all. Heart rate shows during practice, but then zip in the Health app. I’ve contacted support with screen shots, and heard nothing back.

A little Repetitive

clarkplanet

Positions change too often and too many forward bend and downward dog loops. I’m not even flexible for a full forward bend as a beginner.

A fix is needed

When I open the app and tap on a particular session, the app closes and send me back to my homepage. I’m unable to use it, very disappointing.

Great for the price!

It’s very user friendly, has plenty of options to work through from beginner-expert. Each session is a good workout, and it ends with a great relaxation rest. The only critique I could give is to have better animations, background visuals and instructor voice options to make the entire experience near flawless!

Good app

I really like that this app includes vocal instructions for the poses and for the practices. As a person who is blind, this is important. I also like that it is set up to where I can choose different types of practices to do. The only downside is I have difficulty pressing the buttons which allow a person to change their practice duration, or difficulty level. Is it because the app doesn’t work with my phone well, or because this is the feature that I have to unlock? For what it is worth, I use a feature on my phone called VoiceOver which allows the phone to read things back to me on the screen.
