Yoga Reviews

I would’ve given Yoga five stars, but lately Yoga ’s body sensors aren’t recognizing my movements correctly. For example, I have to lay flat on my stomach for Zenia to acknowledge the plank, which is very disruptive to my practice. Another suggestion is to correct the duration of the practices. I’ll often pick a 20 minute session, but it only ends up lasting 9 minutes. It would be nice to have the option to select which asanas you’d like to practice during a session.

UPDATE: I’ve updated my review to reflect how kind and responsive the team at Zenia is. Thank you for the response and directing me to the development team! I’ve found the new live instructors are a tremendous help to my practice. The sensors have also improved.

LAST UPDATE: Yoga no longer works; it just loads a blank screen without any options / sessions. I contacted the development team last week and have received no response. I plan on cancelling my subscription.

The computers voice is just straight creepy, that combined with that absolute-fail of a relaxing “breathing” sound effect (dissonant minors, not soothing mate!) made it really easy to feel frustrated at Yoga when it fails to scan my body position at all. Rushes you through all poses and breathing....except downward facing dog. You can stay there till all the blood rushes to your head and you pass out. If you are struggling with a pose, you can’t just stop sooner! The computer just repeats her (often unclear) instructions over and over until your muscles just quit. Freakishly Frustrating. Cheers.

I’m 6’4” and Yoga is unusable because I have to stand far enough away to be visible by Yoga , which means I need to stand about 10 feet away from my phone. Makes trying to see Yoga pretty pointless

Aside from that, most poses are held for no more than 7 seconds and it seems the creators don’t actually know how to improve their body with this app and just did some googling

It appears that it is only reading 2D and not 3D of a body movement, which is insufficient for someone who begins their this app practice and needs more accurate feedback. The video introducing Yoga does not explain (even in layman terms) the model they use to create the feedback. I may check it out again later if the quality is improved.

I really (I mean REALLY) wanted to love Yoga. I’m a beginner and recently fell in love with the practice of this app. I was looking forward to learning how to improve my practice. I tried several different things on Yoga (on both the iPhone and iPad) and Yoga kept crashing. I agree with some of the other reviews in that you have to place the phone so far away from yourself that you can’t see the teacher. If I can’t see if I am in alignment or see what the next steps are then how can I improve? I was really looking forward to watching Dashama (I love her!) but Yoga is too frustrating to deal with. I even signed up with the Black Friday 1/2 off deal but after trying it out, it’s so awkward that it ruins why I do this app in the first place. Sorry Zenia...I really did want to love Yoga.

Yoga seems like it’s a great app to use if your like myself, self taught and thinking about becoming a this app instructor. However I was deeply disappointed when I noticed that Yoga does not have any African American this app instructors and no variation of body types especially during this day in age. There is one beautiful this app instructor on Yoga who appears to be biracial but again I was very disappointed that there was no instructions who looked or whose body type I could relate to. There are great African American this app instructors available all around the world and there are great this app instructors with curvier body types available as well I’m sure. Black men and women, curvier men and women like to do this app too just saying.

I gave this two stars because I love the concept and I love the organization of Yoga . I gave it so few stars because the this app sessions I had were very aggravating which is exactly the opposite of how I want to feel during this app. The sensor was not catching my movements or my positions even when they were correct and all I heard was an endless repetition of that God-forsaken robotic voice telling me to do something I was already doing! My phone is new so I believe the issue was with Yoga itself, not my phone. On top of this, I am only halfway through my free trial and Yoga isn’t recognizing my premium allowance, seems very unfair and suspicious as it was in my Apple subscriptions and would have charged me anyways.

It looks like Yoga was designed for the iPhone, but the fact that you have to place your phone on the floor 2+ meters away from you makes it hard to really see once you get started. This fact also makes it difficult if one doesn’t have a lot of space in their house to work with. Also, the AI, though she has a pleasant vocal tone, is too robotic sounding. I will try some more exercises to see if I grow to like Yoga more, but for the price, I’m not sure it can compete with the other this app app I currently use (this app Studio).

After further practice (day 1 of Easy Flow this app, Beginner), I’d also like to comment on the lack of flow between poses. The video shows the woman in one pose, then we’re instructed to move to the next pose and the video cuts to the woman in the next pose. It causes the practice to be disjointed and not relaxing.

And again, the distance and positioning of the phone from the user along with its size also makes it difficult to watch the pose if one is unfamiliar with it (i.e. trying to turn one’s head while in shoulder stand to see if you’re doing it properly can cause injury). Not sure I will continue to practice using Yoga.

This is really fun to use, most of the time, it seems like it is speaking as “English as a second language”, which can be confusing. More direction is needed- palms toward mat for twist then direction is look at palm... should they be down or up? Feet together or apart for other poses is unclear, I need more details as a beginner? Shoulder stand and broken candle need to be slowed down with more direction. The directions to stand a feet length hmmm not sure about this. But I’ll continue to play with it, certainly fun and innovative. I do hope the glitches and weird English are resolved.

I loved how it was before you guys changed and updated everything. Before i was able to do almost all this app workouts and now i have to have a subscription for everything. This was the only app that allowed me to do my this app without having to pay and thats why it was my favorite app.

I’ve been trying to do cardio this app but took way too long to load and when it finally did it froze in the middle of the downward facing puse 3 or 4 times!!!! Then I decided to do other classes like time this app and normal this app
Frustrating!!!!

Just I would love the camera was wide open so it could be more close to me, but everything else it’s just amazing the idea is really good

This is great for your everyday workouts and can really help relax yourself when you are having a bad day. I TOTALLY recommend Yoga!!!!

Love Yoga. As a beginner I find the instructions easy and making progress. I am on a 24 day streak! Yoga makes it extremely easy to be consistent. Love it!

App of the future! Love how it gives instant feedback almost like an instructor in a studio. Hope to see new features soon :)

... though it can be a bit slow sometimes to recognize the posture.

I enjoy Yoga because there are plenty of free classes I can participate in, and every time I take a class I always feel so much more relaxed. I ended up paying for the subscription in hopes I will progress in making my stretches.

Zenia gives me motivation to practice this app at home. I’d love to see more progress tracking features and achievements in the future. App feels a little rough sometimes, but I like the new experience and hope you’ll continue to improve it.

I have tried many exercise apps before. Never have been able to build a regular habit of making it part of my routine. But I have with Yoga, the beginner level exercises were great to start me on to this app. Thoroughly enjoy each session.

I’ve had it sitting in my phone for a long time and finally started using it daily and I’m so happy I love that I get to practice every day at home. Thank you for Yoga. This really saves my life during this quarantine time.

Zenia has made getting into the practice of this app a total breeze. I love the easy to follow instructions and the routines I can actually follow without feeling intimidated. If you are a yogi beginner I highly recommend Zenia!

Haven’t been able to get app to work, not able to cancel app, can someone help me out of this app!!!!

Can’t reach them to take care of a cancellation and they’ve auto charged a continuation on the app
