For the majority of yoga practitioners home yoga is the best yoga. In 2019 more than half (67%) of people who practice yoga, did it at home. There are many ways to set up a yoga corner (or room, or yard) at your place. Today we will look at the best yoga apps that can help with your yoga flow and growth.
As one of the most innovative self-improvement systems yoga became a perfect match for personal technology. Can you guess how many yoga apps are there? Over 11000 yoga apps just in the Apple App store!
How do you pick the best yoga app?
Let’s take a look at the features that are the most important.
- Accessible / Easy to use. At times yoga may be challenging, but user interfaces should not be. Interacting with a yoga app should be as delightful as touching your favorite yoga mat.
- Aesthetics. Yoga app design can say a lot about its value as a yoga companion. Yoga app is your virtual yoga space, so it needs harmony just as much.
- Engaging. A good yoga app should be able to keep you engaged way beyond just a couple of practices. Glo for example provides access to a library of online yoga classes from world-class teachers. Some apps become the extension of your favorite yoga clothing brand like Alo. At Yoganotch we are giving you an opportunity to observe your progress after every practice, on a per-asana level.
- Affordable. Yoga apps prices range from $39 (Peloton, comes with other classes) to $18 (Glo) to $7 (Downdog) or even less. Many apps offer trials with free yoga classes. At Yoganotch we made all of our yoga app free. You can practice any Yoganotch class, from yoga for beginners to advanced sequences without ever paying subscription.
- Interactivity. Doing your daily yoga routine to the same narration from youtube channel can become stale. Many yoga can offer more than just online yoga classes. Downdog app can algorithmically generate thousands of unique classes based on asanas. Yoganotch is the first smart yoga app with guided yoga and guided meditation classes. Using real-time voice feedback it helps you keep improving even when you practice all by yourself.
