YOGABODY

It feels kind of weird to say something as seemingly dramatic as this changed my life, but it is true. I purchased the hip opening series in March of 2025. I had tried many things to help reduce the extreme pain in my hips. I was in my mid 30s thinking it was time to hang up the cleats and stop playing pick-up soccer. I was already wondering if I would have to have hip surgery like my elder family members. I purchased the YogaBody 21 day hip opening challenge and put in the work and kept at it. Not only is the hip pain gone, but I’m still playing soccer. Plus, I completed my first Triathlon this month (May 2026)! Whenever my hips feel a little tight, I now have the knowledge (and still have the videos) to do a little bit of maintenance stretching. I wish Lucas and his team the best.

This has better usability than the website. I’d like the app to keep track of which sessions I watched and how often — there are checkmarks on the session icons/rectangles but as far as I can tell, they don’t do anything. Also provide some images on those rectangles or color them differently according to the day number— anything to help me remember “oh, I’m doing day 5 today, because yesterday was the green square” here another idea, put the pose names on those squares.

While the app is fairly barebones, the exercises have changed my life. I’ve complained about just having a bad back for as long as I can remember. Almost monthly I’ve been laid up with a pulled back. As a new father of 2 boys I’m constantly wrestling and playing. At a certain point I decided I needed to try something else because normal work outs and chiro work havent helped and I want to be able to play with my kids pain free. I’ve now done the happy back challenge 3 times though and my back feels like it did in my early 20’s! Cannot recommend the challenge enough, just look past the barebones app appearance and stick with it!
