Each day’s practice is typically between 3-10 minutes, so it’s quick and easy to complete. They show all the movements and speak what you’re doing at the start of each new movement. Sometimes they have bells to signal when to change your breathing from breath in to breath out for breathing exercises. For certain movements where you’re alternating sides, they’ll say verbally when to change sides. I definitely feel a difference in my body over the past 3 weeks, and my stress is very low now. The only thing I would like to be different is for every movement to have verbal cues of when to switch or bells to signal the length of the movement each way, so I can close my eyes during each movement and not look at my phone. Otherwise, everything is so helpful and well explained and shown.

I usually don’t fall into the FB ads for these types of sites, but this ad stood out to me because it was describing my 15-year-old son to a T. Granted these apps usually are only aiming for smaller children, (which I still to this day don’t understand when things like this don’t go away at 6yrs old.) For instance, my son is 15 autistic with epilepsy and he struggles with these meltdowns on a daily basis and it’s been getting harder to maintain the bigger he gets. However, this app stood out to me so I thought why not. I tried everything at this point I have nothing to lose. $20 is nothing if this actually works, and right off the bat he tried the first breathing exercise n it was successful!! Now I understand people say you don’t write a review with just one exercise, but I have to disagree because my son usually doesn’t engage in such activities with enthusiasm or wanting to continue after, but this game he did and it was exciting to see how excited he got just doing it with me. He wanted to continue to play which is huge, so that’s why I’m feeling optimistic. If this app already gave something that seem to turn his frustration around entirely, then it’s worth a great review. I just hope this momentum continues as we go further along.
