Skill Yoga - Train Mind & Body

First of all, I love the app. I love the variety of programs and the simple and straightforward shooting style. Out of all the yoga apps I looked into, this is the one that I decided to subscribe to (and I’m glad I did). One feature the app is missing, for subscribers, is a plan. You have “programs,” but the most videos in a program is 7 (from what I’ve seen so far). That’s great, but what do I do after week 1? What’s my next step? I can browse the library, but I think for most people, they need the next step ready to go before their current plan dries up. Should I repeat the same program? Should I try a new one? For me, that uncertainty causes me to lose motivation. The biggest way I stay motivated for working out is having a plan and staying consistent with that plan. What I would love to see is some sort of AI looking at my goals, feedback from workouts, etc., and telling me what my monthly schedule is, so that I know, “Okay, I have four yoga workouts planned for this week, and I can see what they are, and I even know what I’m doing next week, and the week after, and the week after.” Something that takes the great workouts you’ve already developed and maps them to my schedule, and continuously keeps them coming. Other than that, I think the app is great overall and I’m a happy customer!

I was looking for a home workout and couldn’t be happier with this yoga program, the instruction is very calm and instructive and the instructor in the videos demonstrates most things really well there are some limitations, but let’s me honest a video workout is always gonna have a few drawbacks but this series is about as good as it gets. The real selling point is if you like me don’t love the yoga instruction that’s all breathy and talking about “envisioning yourself on a island” then this app is for you. The instruction focuses you on your breath and the feeling of stress/stretch on your muscles The workouts scale well and once you get more advanced you’ll see how the basics build into more advanced movements and I’ve found myself surprised I can do some advanced movements with ease. The only other nit picks I’ve found is the ratings for the workouts leave a little to be desired and I get when a trainer counts down then makes you do a couple extra reps but when your watching the same videos on repeat and you know it’s coming it just gets hung up in my brain that it’s coming and makes me so mad for some reason. Obviously those are some pretty specific nitpicks and I’ve lost about 55llbs in the last year so can’t argue with the results!

Hands down the best yoga app I’ve seen. I look forward to my training every night and love seeing the progress I’m making with the help of the skilled coaches and their workouts. The Shavasana at the end is the perfect way to round out the workout and really helps you connect with your body, both physically and mentally (as does the whole program, honestly). The only advice I would give is to start with the Beginner level. Being a personal trainer and self-proclaimed gym rat, I assumed I’d be fine skipping the Beginner level and going straight to Advanced. I paid dearly for that in the beginning as the workouts are challenging in a different and refreshing way. All in all, this is a perfect app for all yoga levels, and is very highly recommended.
