Yoga for Beginners | Mind+Body for Negative User Reviews

✓ Huge gap between beginner and intermediateI’ve been really enjoying the free version of this app. After a month of doing beginner workouts I felt confident enough to move to the intermediate level. I can’t do about 3/4 of the exercises; they just require an insane amount of flexibility that looks advanced to me, so much so that I am afraid of what the advanced version looks like. This is why I’ve never been successful at doing yoga long term. I’ve never been able to find a program that doesn’t have this gigantic gap between the most basic of beginner stretches and turning yourself into a complete pretzel. It would help if there was at least some suggestion on how to modify the intermediate moves. So many of these moves I don’t even know how to adjust or practice a simpler version so that I can gradually ease myself into it..Writer07Version: 4.13.1

✓ Misleading claimsI have used this app for a good few months and thing the selection of free yoga routines are great. My review would be a 5 if it was not for the recent “immunity buster” workout. It suggests that by doing this workout you can boost your immunity to fight of all types of illness and linking this to COVID-19. Unless the company has scientific evidence to back up its claims it can boost our immunity to COVID-19 I suggest they change there wording. Not only does this pry on people’s anxieties around the illness desperate to avoid getting it. It also distracts from the need to follow scientific advice as they believe they can reduce there chances of contracting the illness via unproven and unscientific methods such as this. This is a disappointing attempt to profit from the current pandemic in my view... There is some evidence that daily exercise can help you fight off the illness when you get it but it is still VERY important to follow regular hand washing face covering and social distancing to stop the spread..H1918Version: 4.1.3

✓ Disappointed in updated versionI used to love this app so much until they changed the voice. Now it’s switching between an American accent and a British accent and someone like me with adhd and ocd who’s using this app to relax, it just ruins the whole mood. Not to mention they changed the name to so many poses it’s so annoying. I hope this is fixed soon ☹️.Enni420Version: 4.13.2

✓ Routines need workApp functions well, have had no problems setting rest times or voice and music volume. But the routines themselves need work. This app made it super easy for me to start yoga again after a long hiatus but 5 days in and I’m so bored of the app. No matter the routine you choose you’re basically doing the same 5 poses with one or two different ones thrown in. And they need better transitions into new poses and focusing more on the whole body and no just a part of it. Stretching routines are basically just for back and neck and nothing else , while yoga for abs only has one move the different from the stretching and slow flow targeted directly towards abs. While I like the set up of the app especially how it tracks how much you’ve done I’ll be looking for a new one that’s got better routines..Katie[DDG]Version: 3.2.1

✓ Yoga with a robotA surreal experience, the app talks to you and plays soothing music but it feels manufactured with little human interaction. The voice only tells you the next position and when to start and finish that position, nothing else, no guidance or advice etc. There is also a cartoon person on the screen showing you want to do. The positions are named so that you can guess what to do, i. e ‘corpse pose’ not savasanah. You can tailor the sessions to suit your needs which is useful. Not sure I will use again, I missed the human interaction and found it monotonous..Feisty OOVersion: 4.12.0

✓ Great for free workout ideas, but...With this being a free app, you can’t really ask for much more. The workouts give you good ideas, but if you don’t have any prior knowledge of yoga, there is the distinct possibility that you might hurt yourself as there are no real instructions on how to form each pose. Also, the app has recently changed the music for each workout, it now shifts through multiple ambient music tracks during each session which is a little off-putting. I would recommend this app in combination with other yoga sources - the routines are good and it gives you a good reference for timings, but I hope that the developers can change the music issue and maybe also provide a bit more information about how to perform more difficult yoga poses..@_HumanWreckageVersion: 4.4.0

✓ Needs some fixingThis is a good app for beginners yoga, but there are some issues I have with it. It has trouble when you play your own music from a different app, sometimes causing bizarre static noise or the ‘instructor’ not speaking at all. On occasion, the instructor voice will be so quiet, and if I turn up the music, it’s like the instructor voice stays the same level while just the music noise goes up. This causes me to stay too long in poses and get off track. The time the app gives you to get ready for the next pose is 30 seconds, which is way too long, but no matter how low I adjust it in the app settings, it defaults back to 30 seconds in the routines. I also am irritated with the recent updates, in which yoga for abs was removed entirely, and there is now a loud bell ringing sound when a pose is completed, instead of the instructor voice calmly saying “rest”. I find this bell noise to be very jarring and disruptive to my routine, and find I now cannot focus while doing yoga..HP84858Version: 3.1.0

✓ Good, but more workouts appreciatedThe app is nice, good calming music and nice and easy yoga sessions. However it would be nice to have more of them or to get an option, where you can put together your own workout with all the poses they already offer. To decide for yourself how long you want to hold a pose, especially if you are slowly but surely turning into an advanced yoga person xD.TiamasaVersion: 4.1.3

✓ Can't access everythingMy mum recently started doing yoga and downloaded this app. It is brilliant for her as she hasn't paid the subscription and isn't doing the free trial as she has been using this all for about 2 months. I started doing yoga with her and downloaded the app for myself and I can't access everything she can. I can only do the first session of any of the programs (even the program my mum is half way through). This was a really big shame for me as I was really impressed with the stuff I thought I could access but other than this I can still access the quick start sessions and customise my own sessions..Hopefull spiritVersion: 4.21.0

✓ Good for yogaYou can only do some of the workouts without premium. You need premium to get rid of adds. Other than that it is a good app..Organizedchef3Version: 4.9.3

✓ Great on the surfaceI love the layout of the app and how the routines are labeled as beginner, intermediate and advanced. I LOVE that there is a video explanation of each pose easily accessible both before the workout and after. My main problem with the couple of routines that I’ve done is a lack of repetition and logical progression/ flow. For example, in the beginner Yoga for Abs, the explanation of cobra pose says you should start in downward facing dog, move through plank, push up to cobra, hold, then reverse the flow back to downward facing dog. However, downward facing dog is not part of the actual routine. Likewise, the extended side angle pose is meant to develop from Warrior 2, but there’s no warrior progression. There were also a couple of occurrences that I went from hands and knees, then to my back, then back to hands and knees. It would flow better to do all the exercises in one position (standing, sitting, hands and knees, laying down) before changing. I would love to see more routines built around specific flows— I haven’t done the sun salutation flow, but it looks a little more like the yoga classes I’ve been to..<3 bexVersion: 4.4.3
