Four Yoga Apps To Help You Find Your Inner Balance
Yoga has often been described as a fusion of
well-being and spirituality, as it encourages the focus of our inner health
just as much as it does our outward appearance. Stress and negative energy in
our lives is mostly caused by an imbalance of the mind's thought patterns: we
wander from past to future to past again, stirring up negative emotions of all
sorts that leave us feeling drained and agitated. Since yoga works to calm
these fears and help us focus on the present, millions of people have found it to
be just what they needed to centre themselves. Below, we will outline four yoga
apps that provide an excellent introduction into this holistic package for
healthy living.
iYoga+
Beginners will love iYoga+, which allows anyone to begin doing yoga exercises immediately. Billed as an app to help you rebuild strength, correct posture related issues and minimize fat build-up, iYoga+ provides dozens of videos that show its users the proper techniques for practising safe, effective yoga. Offering two levels of difficulty, the iYoga+ app includes four hours of yoga instruction and can be used as a reference tool for nearly 60 different positions. Calm your mind and help prepare yourself for the day with this free app, available for iOS devices.
YogaCoach
Those who wish to enjoy the benefits of yoga from just about anywhere will appreciate the thought that was placed into YogaCoach, an intelligent app that helps you heal mind and body. Whether you are a beginner or expert, you will be able to find custom video lessons included in the app to relieve daily stress and increase both flexibility and endurance. Developing proper breathing techniques is also part of this app's database, which helps you gain the most from your sessions. Depending on your needs, lessons can be broken down by difficulty or category, with daily yoga lessons and healing yoga lessons available. The app is $1.99 and can be found via the iTunes Store.

iPad
Highly rated by a number of health publications, Yoga Pro for iPad is currently being used by more than 3,000,000 iPad users and offers an unprecedented amount of yoga training and information.

Universal
Breathing – Pranayama
With breathing being such an integral part of proper yoga, an app dedicated to the proper techniques just makes sense.
