Yoga for Weight Loss | Nandy Reviews

by Kat_Eldredge

I loved Yoga to begin with. Priming myself to stick with something took me a little bit, I would start and do a day or two then it would take a week to do another one. Then I broke my foot so I took a month off. Every time I came back the programs looked a little different. I chalked it up to my sporadic sessions and it was personalized. Well now I have been doing the “fit and slim I” 25 day beginner course. I was prepared for, excited about day 20. I’m on a roll!! Open Yoga and everything is changed, the beginner is now 12 days, all the programs have changed!! Massive unannounced changes while in the middle of “personalized” programs is not very personal! It’s mass production that does not even begin to feel personal! I certainly did not expect one on one attention, I did expect a series of programs based on my general need. If people were asking for a smaller time chunks then you should have added them without taking away from current customers. Right now I am not happy with app!

I’d give it negative stars if I could.
I am a healthy woman, having practiced this app for many years. I tried Yoga, hoping for minimal guidance in a daily comfortable routine. These routines are incredibly poorly organized, moving from standing to sitting to lying down with apparently no thought given to the necessary transition between poses. I experienced incapacitating vertigo after practicing with Yoga (due to the lack of appropriate transitioning), and will never use it again. I emailed customer service, and received no response. This is not this app, and I cannot believe they’re calling it this app. Save your money; try a different app.

I started using Yoga in March and although it had a few bugs here and there I stuck with it for over 175 days straight. Then the “updates” started. The bugs increased, whole sections of personalized programs disappeared and others were shortened to uselessness. You were left standing or in simple poses for a minute and then rushed through complicated ones. I provided lots of detailed feedback to the developer and each update worsened the program. None of the programs I was using like Fit & Slim and Master of Slim remain now. I can’t even find them in Yoga at all. Literally just gone in the middle of Antistress and several others. I was doing really well with my goals but now I’m so frustrated with Yoga I haven’t been consistent in a few weeks. Unfortunately as the feedback has never been addressed I will have to seek another this app app for my goals. SO VERY DISAPPOINTED

I’ve been using Yoga daily for more than 30 days. The complexes “selected” for me based on my goals are labeled beginner but there are several poses that are intermediate or advanced mixed in. Some of the advanced poses are described way too quickly and the picture does not help to show what the pose should be. Some of the pose descriptions do not match the name or the picture at all. The sequence of the asanas seems haphazard (going from lying on the floor to standing to sitting to standing, back to the floor, back to standing). I have not lost any weight but my flexibility is increasing (the poses are good for stretching muscles that are chair bound for most of the day). I read the reviews before I purchased and one mentioned “the great recipes included” - there are no recipes in Yoga. It’s now obvious most of all the 5 star reviews are fake. I regret what I paid for Yoga.

Everyone wants to make money; that’s not a problem. What IS a problem: pretending this is free when it really isn’t. Also, the reviews stated how they are unable to cancel, only to be met with automated responses to contact support. (This occurred even with the reviewer who actually contacted support resultlessly.) There are apps out that are either actually free or that state was what is or is not a paid feature. This money hungry grab for download counts is deceitful. (Developer, please do not respond. I will not send an email to your support team and you have proven by your previous responses that you are not truly interested in what consumers are telling you.)

by New Level Please!!!

I got sucked in to buying this based on how it looked. There is a typo in the intro when you are asked questions about your activity level, etc. That’s when I wondered what was going on. Then I heard the robot lady telling me poses the first time and I thought ‘you have got to be kidding me...why such a horrible grating robotic and fake voice for an app that is supposed to help soothe, ease and calm with relaxing practice?!” Then I read the robotic reviews more and the robotic replies from Yoga folks. Ugh. While I think the premise is great, who can deal with that voice?! A cheap way to put together some this app moves while charging $20 and not really caring. Thumbs down.

by P. Bolton

Yoga is simply put... awful. It turns off mid excersize or stretch aboit every 30 to 45 seconds. I purchased Yoga today & tried 4 different programs on 2 different devices amd had the same problem on all 4. It is impossible to get a good stretch or a peaceful stretch when you are constantly having to reach for your device to turn Yoga back on.
Also, there is no flow at all from one stretch or excersise to the next, which also makes having a relaxing or useful workout impossible.
I will be demanding my money back 1st thing Monday morning.
Do NOT pay for Yoga
You will be very unhappy

by Late Monster

I had high hopes but Yoga isn’t worth the money. I picked a beginner plan because I haven’t practiced this app in a while. I was surprised when the first sequence it recommended included bow pose, which can be very difficult to get into and is definitely not for beginners (especially if you’re practicing alone without feedback).

There is no flow between asanas and almost no instructions for breathing. this app is not just getting in and out of different poses like you’re rotating between crunches and jumping jacks. 2 stars because Yoga itself is visually appealing. But definitely not worth $20 a month in any way.

by Zokochka

I like the structure of this application in general. Some asanas are not explained well enough . I started the second beginner series for Fit and Slim and began having difficulties in understanding how to perform certain asanas, when you can’t see it well enough at the picture. I’ve been using this application every single day for about 30 days and hasn’t” lost any weight, but hope to

by Ella Mea

I have never done this app before, and have spine and knee problems. I thought beginner would be easy enough for me but was wrong. It would be nice if the questions at the beginning took these things into account- and/or there was a free trial.
That said, I am doing what I can, I like Yoga for motivation, and already have more energy after a few days.
I would REALLY like to use the custom feature but when I try Yoga closes out. Don’t know if it’s my phone or can be fixed.

by Ladyjmeow

But I’m having a hard time with Yoga I can do classes as I choose to when I choose to but the initial information I gave for the program I wanted to build I don’t see how that’s been put together I’m confused by some of the features on here. Like what does “add to constructor “mean? is there an instruction manual perhaps?

by Maddie Motionless

I really like Yoga and bragged about the value to others. I recommended to a lot of people and have been enjoying my workouts immensely. Then, I opened Yoga to workout this morning and large majority of the programs are less than half the length they used to be. When I purchased Yoga many of the programs were 25-30 days of workouts and now they are 9-12 days! What happened??? Why would you reduce the number of workouts? Yoga does seem like it contains the value that I paid for anymore. I am extremely disappointed! I also feel cheated, because I paid for one thing and after my purchase part of what I purchased was taken away from me. I think you can do better than this!

by Florallife

I am really enjoying Yoga so far and have been using it for about a week. This morning the program didn’t have the timer or next pose section available. Is it a glitch or has it been removed permanently?

Also, I don’t have access to the statistics section shown in Yoga Store, does my subscription not include that?

Thank you for looking into this!

by Katydid20

I have been using Yoga over 3 months, and when I opened it today, all my multi-day programs are gone. I am very unhappy as I was using Yoga most days! Help!
Solution appeared as soon as the programs showed up the next day by magic, and a nice note came from the developer saying they had been working on the problem! Thanks for helping me so quickly!

by Bubba695

First of all I really like Yoga and it has been instrumental in my weight loss and fitness plan. However, I get a little frustrated right after Yoga updates. It seems that the timing is off or the instructions aren’t the same. Some poses are done on one side of the body only when it was on two. Instructions say incorrect direction to face.
Not huge things, but it would be great to have them fixed. Going from a few seconds of low cobra to a minute was not nice. 😰

by LMMR16

I am not new to this app but have been doing it for decades. I have a busy work day and take some time during my lunch break to do a bit of this app and relax. These exercises are great but each pose moves into the next without much time to transition and given some poses are held for 10 or less seconds there is next to no time to hold some poses as well as one has to move fast from lying flat to standing up or kneeling and such. Pausing Yoga to transition to next pose would defeat the whole purpose of these exercises to be calming and relaxing and involving smooth transitions. It would also help if the program reminds one to breathe (inhale/exhale) throughout poses as that is a key component to this app.

by AggieShelley18

It used to be a 5-Star. It’s a good app but the most recent update is hard to figure out. If you accidentally hit “plan” at the bottom, you can’t pause. More so, if you get a phone call and “plan” (along with the rest of the menu) is up, it will freeze your practice and you can’t resume.

I also don’t like that I can’t replay a particular lesson anymore. It just chooses the lesson for you. So far, I have redone the same lesson 4x.

So, I hope they fix it quickly b/c the previous version was better. It was simpler, but these new features don’t work well.

by Arr2dee2

Is it perfect? No. But I’ve been doing it consistently for about 2 weeks and my pants are fitting better. I’ve never been consistent with an exercise app before. I like that you can see how many minutes you spent in it for a week. It’s worth it to me.

by LCPez67

If you’re anything like me, you can’t stand over talkative this app instructors in videos who go on and on instead of getting to the pose. I love that Yoga gets right to it! I don’t mind the robotic voice, so long as it’s giving me clear instructions and visuals. What’s also great is that workouts are short but effective. Excellent this app app, especially for beginners like me.

by Benvenuto Moore

Wow, I like this new 3D feature, it's really fun to look at asanas from different perspectives, I can check if I'm doing everything correct. And I like the character, very positive girl :) Maybe the great addition will be to have an opportunity to switch female/male characters, so it'll be more comfortable for men.

Yoga is not for those who want to cultivate a deep this app practice, but the busy ones who want amplified results from a small regular effort. And perhaps the most striking thing about the program.... I’m able to ‘slide’ this simple daily practice under the radar of the undisciplined part of myself, making powerful incremental gains in strength and tone. ‌  ​ 

by AndaersfSta Fen

I am just a beginner, but I will tell you more after few months. Until now all is good :) Is just that you have to go somewhere to be alone not can focus to all the trainer say, so izolate yourself in a room and do that there... I like that the training is not long and you can choose what you like and for what.  ‌   

by Yion Fuen

I usually don’t purchase fitness apps and I normally don’t do this app unless it’s the basic stretching from home. Yoga is the easiest to follow and I love that she shows you the exercise first and speaks slowly and then does the reps with you while continuing to talk and guide. Definitely worth the money spent even though I’m not working.      ‌

by Key EnLne

Being a mother of 3 with a full time job, things get crazy. But using this app has helped me find peace of mind, and taught me how to breath properly, and I now look forward to my workout (which sometimes doesn’t even feel like a workout). I highly recommend Yoga, I would give it 10 stars if possible.      

by Uuis CantL

The workouts are fast, which I love because I hate working out, and hopefully the quick workouts I’ll eventually get to be longer. I love that you can actually feel it in ways that I haven’t using other this app techniques. I only gave it four stars because the breathing is a little faster then I would like. ​  ​ ‍

I’m in my late forties with a chronic underlying condition. I have been walking since COVID freed up my time. My fitness was slowly improving but my flexibility wasn’t. this app Fitness helps me to spend 7 additional minutes daily to work on my flexibility, enhance weight loss, tighten my abs and thigh, and generally improve my overall fitness. I’m loving it. Just do it! If I can so can you.        

by KBDULAADAY ALMOERED

This is the best and easiest full body workout to fit into a busy schedule. Short workouts got me in the habit with exercises that worked different muscle groups without being too difficult. I was encouraged and kept going back every day. It was Easy to add 10 minutes to my busy schedule now I find 30 minutes every day and I feel better too!  ​‍  ‍

I'm really enjoying Yoga. Ive been having hard time loosing weight since having a baby couple of years ago. The workouts are well structured which is exactly what I needed in order to stay focused and motivated and I'm finally starting to lose weight. Overall, its a decent app, definitely recommend      

by Codi Griswold

Having had my daughter little over a year ago and by c section I’ve really struggled to gain my strength back. Using Yoga is brilliantly as I can fit it in around daily life easily and the instructions are really clear and detailed. I’ve found this app to not only improve my physical health but my mental health too. Highly recommend Yoga and have done to members of my family.

I have always wanted to do something like this app to become more fit and lean, and this mixed with a few at home workouts during quarantine, I hope really pays off. I quit drinking alcohol yesterday and plan to see what I can achieve after a month. Trying to find balance mentally and physically and I think with Yoga I will find it and look forward to the next workout  ‍ ​  

by ASbprt Naeialo

I have struggled to find this app classes/programs that fit into my busy schedule. While I enjoy the relaxation of this app, sometimes I want a quick workout that I can squeeze in throughout the day. The videos are simple, short, and good as a stand alone workout, or to supplement a cardio day. I have been using Yoga almost daily since May, and I am in better shape that I have been since before kids!   ‍  ‌

by Mana EpeS Mivd

I always want to work out and I’ll buy memberships or apps and then it gets too complicated or involves too much time and then I don’t do it at all, this one starts off simple, gives you encouragement and seems like it’s gonna be one that I can stick with. I just wish I could cast it to my TV because my iPhone is pretty small, but other than that Yoga is nothing but amazing ‌  ​

Yoga is easy to follow and use. It is also makes it really easy to add a bit of this app to your day. Everyone can find 5 minutes. I am new to using Yoga but based on the success I had using a 7 minute exercise app I am sure I will see an improvement in my daily ability. Good job!   ​​ ​
