Exactly what I needed

MelloMaia

I have tried so many kinds of alarms over the years: beeping, ringing, music-playing. I always wanted an alarm that would talk to me to get me to wake up. Radio alarms didn’t cut it because I’d sleep through those, and podcast alarms didn’t become available until recently. Then came yoga wake up. The combination of moving my body and having someone speak to me makes me less likely to try to go back to sleep (though I do admit to still doing this sometimes). I can change up the recordings so that I never get bored or tune out the alarm. I wish that you could set alarms that included the afternoon and evening routines. I just figured out so I can set an evening alarm to trigger my bedtime routine, but I can’t choose any sessions other than the ones intended for the morning. I know it’s called Yoga Wake Up, but if there are already recordings for different portions of the day, I don’t see why they couldn’t also be alarm options. I also wish that there was greater racial diversity among the instructors in the app. There are very few people of color.


Nightly set up isn’t convenient

When I downloaded the app, it said I have to open the app every single night and start my sleep time so it can wake me up. I did that and this morning, it notified me that I had an alarm set, but I didn’t leave the app open. It then didn’t even give me the option of hearing the alarm if I opened the app manually, following the notification. My only option is to try again tomorrow, but I doubt there will be a tomorrow. The app should just go off after an alarm is programmed, like every other app. This process is more stressful than waking up to a regular alarm.


Waking Up & Staying Wake Just Got So Much Easier

I used to hit snooze a ridiculous amount of times. Or sometimes not even hear my alarm clock. Both of these drove my husband nuts. Now I wake up IMMEDIATELY and am EXCITED to start the day after using this program. I do choose to pause the recording as soon as I hear the voice start speaking, and then put on my headphones—since my husband sleeps in later. But that’s a very small price to pay for starting my day the way I always wanted to.


My Mornings are so much better!

I’ve struggled with my screen time ever since I got a phone and have found this app helps me wake up and meditate rather than reach straight for my phone! I really recommend it for anyone as it has helped me be a more positive person overall. The way you start your day makes all the difference and I think more people would be happy if they started their day out with guided breathing and a little movement


Excellent App!

Ok

I actually love the app. But it does not run in the background. It eats up all my battery power and once even ran it out. If you can fix that and not having to open the app every day to set up that would be so awesome.


Fantastic Way to Start the Day!

I’m so thrilled to have found this app. I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks and and it’s made such a positive difference in the way I face the day. I actually look forward to waking up EARLY every day. It’s amazing how taking a little time and doing something positive can change my outlook. In these times, that positive energy is absolutely needed. Thanks for a great app! Namaste ??

This App Changed My Life

Donotbuytheyrliars

I can’t believe how accessible, simple and consistent my yoga practice is now. It’s at my fingertips anytime I need it. From bed or on my mat. I gets so much value and the yoga and meditation teachers are awesome. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to create consistency and ease around their practice.


Mind / body essential

I love this app because it is a unique concept, beautifully designed, and has high quality content. You should have no reservations about purchasing and subscribing if you’re interested in doing short yoga / meditation sessions when you wake up. But, I do think it will be used differently depending on the person. When I first started using, I did the whole setting the alarm and opening the app at bedtime. It worked most of the time, and I even woke up and used it as designed. However, I have severe sleep problems, so it’s difficult for me to predict when I’ll be ready to get up, even when I adjust the alarm time based on my sleep. Plus, the meditations seem really quiet, compared to other apps, so they will not wake me out of a deep sleep. For these reasons, I’ve decided instead to start the wake ups manually in the mornings. I still set the alarm, but either I start the session before it goes off, or after. It still auto starts when you open the app. Sometimes, if I get lucky, I use it as intended, but more often I don’t. This is a reflection of me and my sleep problems, not the app. That being said, I do think there’s something low about the sound quality, because I often have trouble hearing the teacher and music, even when I turn the volume up. Unfortunately, you can’t connect to headphones or a speaker, because the app is designed to always play from the phone even if you connect to a bluetooth device. I would really just like to pop on my bedside headphones to do the sessions and hear them better, since I don’t use it like a traditional alarm. Otherwise, though, as a longtime yogi and person dedicated to self care and mental health, I love this app.
