APPS SPECIAL GUIDE -
6 AMAZING YOGA APPS
The
greatest part of Yogify is its appeal to beginners and experts alike.Regardless
of your skill level, Yogify's images and detailed descriptions will help you
properly execute the poses. You can even customise the music, so you can find
and maintain your balance with the help of tunes that accentuate your focus
and determination.
It's free
to download the app, and the first five classes are free. After that, most of
the programs cost Rs 120. An entire level is Rs 250, or you can purchase the
entire collection for Rs 620. You can pre view the structure of each class
before making the purchase.
SALUTE
THE DESK
Salute
the Desk will help you break up your normal workday if you're stuck at a desk,
or anywhere with limited mobility. The cool thing about Salute the Desk is that
it was designed to tackle your stress, both mental and physical. Besides the 27
poses it offers, all of which can be done at your desk, the app provides
options for guided relaxation.
Many yoga
apps out there simply focus on the poses themselves and fail to address the
important mental benefits that are intended to come with the exercises. Salute
the Desk comes through where others are lacking as far as relaxation. Plus,
there's a tracking feature that allows you to monitor your progress and a
reminder function that enables you to schedule helpful reminders.
In
addition to Salute the Desk, you might also like some of these easy desk
exercises to stay fit while working.
The app
retails for Rs 250.
DAILY
YOGA
Whether
you want to delve into a five-minute workout or a 45-minute workout, Daily Yoga
has options for you. The best feature on this app is the HD videos with
step-bystep instructions. Besides this captivating feature, it can help you
stay motivated by connecting with others users.
One
defining feature of Daily Yoga is that it is more weight-loss oriented than
some of the other yoga apps mentioned here. As such, you can select from
different workout intensities (ranging from casual to intense). You can also
focus on your abs, chest, back and other “problem areas“ many of us have so you
get a workout in the areas where you need it most. Also, if you're someone who
struggles to find new yoga poses, this may be a good app for you to consider,
since it boasts more than 400 yoga poses, as well as a live voice guide, so you
can make sure you're performing the poses correctly. While there are loads of
free workouts, some are available only under subscription, three-month will
cost Rs 790, a full year at Rs 1,850.
POCKET
YOGA
This app
is like hav ing a yoga instruc tor in your pocket.It also provides a yoga
dictionary, which offers you descriptions and benefits of each pose. And if
you're still on the fence about trying out a new pose, you can use the app's
preview feature to see how a pose should look, and determine if it's too easy
or difficult for you. The neatest function about this app is that it unlocks
new environments as you progress through the levels. I also like that the app
lets you substitute your own music for the app's music, so you can listen to
whatever you want while you practice. If you bore easily, this yoga app will
help keep your attention. The app will cost you Rs 190.
5 MINUTE
YOGA
The
greatest thing about 5 Minute Yoga is its focus on brevity. The most common
excuse people use when describing why they don't work out, is that they don't
have enough time. Sessions never take longer than five minutes with this app,
but they focus on helping users get each pose exactly right.
Each pose
features clear images and detailed instructions for doing it correctly. If
you're only going to do yoga for five minutes, you want to make sure you're
maximizing your benefits. 5 Minute Yoga will help you do just that, and could
make it easier for you to go from a beginner yogi to an intermediate yogi. At
Rs 60 this app is a steal.
UNIVERSAL
BREATHING PRANAYAMA
Learning
to properly breathe for yoga is a hugely important part of engaging in this
form of exercise. This app will help you achieve optimal breathing, which will
increase your capacity for getting better at yoga over time. As we age, we can
often lose our natural tendency to breathe through the diaphragm. Universal
Breathing Pranayama offers an intuitive guide to deep breathing, which will
surely complement your yoga regime nicely.
The app
offers and extensive course in how to breathe properly that will work you
through beginner levels and into more advanced breathing exercises. As this
kind of breathing becomes more natural to you, you will feel a difference in
your yoga practices because you will be breathing more deeply with
under-exercised muscle groups.
This app
includes yoga poses and practices, but it is also meant to be an aid to such
programs.
In
addition to improving your yoga practice, some helpful benefits of using this
app are that it can naturally help you deal with asthma and COPD, boost your
endurance for athletic activities and may help relieve headaches and migraines.
The app has a free version, but if you want all the bells and whistles it will
cost you Rs 300.
