App Aims: Portable Vinyasa

Reviewer’s Comments
Yoga STRETCH includes 35 yoga moves with full descriptions and you can customize the sessions from one to 60 minutes. However, the marketing material says it has over 60, but that must count left and right or variations. Each session provides silhouettes of the poses and a narrator or instructor if desired. It consists of traditional yoga poses with a Vinyasa emphasis.

This program would be most useful to individuals that are already comfortable with the poses and just want someone to guide them through a session, since the silhouettes don’t provide much detail. We wouldn’t recommend this app for learning yoga, a class or more detailed DVD would be better, but this program is convenient for those who are just looking to supplement their classes on the road or at home. The audio could also use some editing, although they have made some improvements in the most recent upgrade, you can still here a lot of clicking sounds in the audio.

Yoga STRETCH is not too bad of an app, it would just be hard to learn yoga poses from and the helpful text detail of the poses has to be accessed through its own menu so it’s not that easy to access in the session itself. The app also needs higher quality audio, however for less than two dollars, it is quite convenient for those looking for a portable yoga supplement.
