Daily Yoga®: Yoga for Fitness Reviews

by Zuckerbergsajerk

I used to love DailyYoga, but they keep changing the format so I can never find what I’m looking for. On top of that, they keep adding new levels for more money. I’ve spent over a hundred dollars on DailyYoga since I got it and I can’t even do sun salutations with it because I’m not a “gold member”, a category they added after I paid and they shifted the content out to this new more expensive level. On top of that, in trying to open DailyYoga in a new phone, it glitches and charged me twice, but only apple support can return my money? I have two years of worthless “silver” content that only gets more useless by the day. I don’t recommend DailyYoga anymore.

*******
I got the response. Having 2 years on one account sure seems like both went through on the same account. I reached out to the support way back about this problem and all blame was put on DailyYoga Store. I get it, you won’t help me access the same content I used to be able to get when I first bought a pro account, back when it was as simple as “free or pro”. You keep adding higher levels and making what people have already paid for the lower level as you invent higher levels. I stand by what I said, I don’t recommend it anymore, I have spent so much money on DailyYoga and can’t even open sun salutations on DailyYoga , cause now there’s a “gold level”. I can’t get my money back and will just let it expire in two years... it used to be a good app, it’s run horribly in my experience however.

I am new to yoga, i started using DailyYoga and instantly loved how detailed the sessions were but trying to do a work out off a little screen (my phone.), I found it difficult to do my Exercises. i have chrome cast but that didn’t work for DailyYoga sadly. DailyYoga does support Apple TV but i didn’t want to purchase one, I didn’t think it was worth buying one. Thinking I could find another app that supports chrome cast, i went on a search and found many apps downloaded a few and none supported chrome cast. Finally I found one I could connect to from my laptop to my tv. I was so excited I didn’t even think twice I signed up and paid for the year membership (big mistake) I went to go do my first session on this other app and it was so hard for me to catch up nothing was explained :( and I was so disappointed it wasn’t fun for me like the fun I have when working with DailyYoga (Daily Yoga). So I went to the store that night and purchased an Apple TV and i am so happy i did. I look forward to doing yoga everyday, i notice a big difference with my body, slowly becoming more flexible and legs are looking more toned 30 min sessions feel like 10 min sessions. DailyYoga is the best one for me. If you’re a beginner like me try DailyYoga, you won’t regret it! :)

I’ve downloaded so many yoga apps, this is honestly the best one i’ve found. I had it on the free trial for a few weeks to really know if i liked it and ended up buy the membership, which is definitely worth it. After buying the membership though I got a little overwhelmed with the amount of options for practices and sessions there are lol.
There are a lot of pop ups for buying the membership even after you buy it, but it’s worth it with the amount of sessions there are! The daily water tracker is the worst thing about DailyYoga . Sometimes i can press the water cup, sometimes i can’t, and sometimes i accidentally hit the wrong one and can’t impress it. I get reminders every time i need to drink water, and the majority of the time i don’t drink it so i get quite irritated with the notifications every two hours and i can’t figure out how to turn just those ones off.

I wasn’t able to access a rewind button. Perhaps this is part of the idea? That you just keep going? I also wanted to be able to do something that I could share with my friend who has never done yoga but I felt some of the spiritual fundamentals were missing and the focus was mostly physical, which is a preference for some, just not me personally. I did pay a good chunk for DailyYoga so that did feel a little disappointing that it didn’t offer the versatility I was looking for.

Overall, however, there are certainly more pros to DailyYoga than cons. I really enjoy the access to such a wide range of resources including music and especially motivation. I like that you can choose to do a quick run of it where if you were to go to a class you sometimes feel like you’re locked in to that time frame. This offered me the chance to be able to look at what was available and be more apt to do it because you think to yourself “it’s only 20 minutes” or “it’s only 30 minutes” and for someone like me who had really neglected my practice and feel somewhat really rusty now, it’s a great way for me to be forgiving to my body as I get back to my comfort in my practice.

I’ve always been interested in yoga, though never had the time to actually give it a go. I recently decided to really focus on my own health and well-being and so I went searching for a yoga app to start off my routine every morning. Ladies and gentlemen, this was the 5th app I downloaded and the ONLY one I kept! Everything is so easy to follow and each pose has a video where you can find exactly how to do the pose! Everything is organized so you can easily find what you want. Morning stretch? Got it. Fat burner? Yep. Bedtime routine? You’re covered. It’s so easy to follow and so beneficial! I’ve been at this for just over 2 weeks now and already my balance and focus have clearly improved. The music is so soothing and peaceful, it really helps me to focus on my breathing and feel calm. I’m doing this with 4 kids in the house so if I can be at peace and feel focused doing this, anyone can  ​

I absolutely love DailyYoga. I’ve had it for a few months now and I love the convince of being able to do a yoga routine targeted to what I’m wanting to work on at any time. I just had my second baby 5 months ago and I have a 2 1/2yr old. I’m busy, so loading two kids in the car to go to the gym at a set time to get to my yoga class was causing more stress than relaxation. With DailyYoga I have been able to do a session while the kids nap and again when the go to bed.

The yoga session for relaxing sleep is great, I also one the postpartum sessions and the core strengthening sessions!! I just love all of the options and I already have a few favorite routines. I tried out the free version for a week to see how I liked it and quickly decided to get a membership. Very affordable for what you are getting. I have been recommending it to all of my mommy friends. :)

I paid for a year of pro for $54 after tax with their amazing discounts they offer to EVERYONE! So while you’ll need to buy it after about a month of consistent practice (you’ll go through all the free trainings I swear) it’s worth the money. Customer support is very quick to respond to emails and get you right back to your yoga routines. I have never had such an amazing experience with a workout app in my life. As a 22yo mom of a toddler I don’t have time to go to the gym, daily yoga has allowed me to do my workouts and stretches in my house with my daughter (who makes me work harder lol) whenever I have time. Their instructors go slowly and explain everything including where you should be feeling the burn if your muscles aren’t used to being worked and I promise there are muscles in your body you barely use and they will BURNNN! In the last 4 months of being a pro member I have lost 30lbs and all I do is eat junk, drink wine and do yoga! BUY THE PRO they also do monthly subs AND STAY CONSISTENT! Amazing app, amazing instructors, amazing routines and options to create your own schedule based on what you’re trying to achieve for your own body. I can go on and on about how great this is.

I had used this several years ago, mainly for the abdomen workout. It is the only exercise program that I was able to consistently do. ( I love to work out, but sincerely so many people were dependent on me, when I had the time, I did not have the energy. ). I had gathered so much flab around my stomach; and this yoga workout really helped. It took about 3 weeks for me to notice a difference (I was about 55 at the time). Unlike Corepower yoga app, Daily Yoga has so many impressive yoga courses so I continued with DailyYoga , until my phone broke, (about 6 months after I started using DailyYoga ). For me, working out with DailyYoga took of the extra, extra flab I had around my waist. After around 3 years of failed attempts of working out without using it, I am going to try, using again. I am 10 lbs heavier, but the many extra rolls around my stom

I absolutely love DailyYoga!I started doing Yoga classes when I was in the second trimester of my pregnancy and continued them after the birth of my daughter. DailyYoga is perfect for practising yoga at home (or anywhere!) as the practises are easy to adapt to any situation. I use DailyYoga daily and will happily use it on my lunch break at work, as I know I can fit in a quick 30min practice Daily Yoga offers a variety of different practise choices from quick flow to working a specific area of the body. I am currently working on my core (post partum belly) but I did pay for this selection; I did so very happily. I am definitely feeling the benefit of practising everyday and am really starting to feel the difference in my flexibility and energy levels. You can choose what sort or background music to have, the narrators voice, how long you want your practice to be and what type of practice y‌  ‍

Wow... my first ever experience with trying yoga. Flirted a little in the past but could never get the hang of the breathing and wasn’t sure what to do first!
I decided based on the fantastic reviews to give this a try and I’m so glad I did.
I’m a total beginner so I’ve started with a couple of 10 min poses and they were fully demonstrated and I didn’t panic about missing anything.. I love the start of each excersise where you are given time to get ready and can honestly say I thoroughly enjoyed it, I have a weak ankle but the excersises are bite size snippets which did not give me any problems.
Looking forward to building up more and maybe do beginners for a couple of eeeks incorporating more excersise, then move on to next section when I feel ready. Not putting pressure on myself, just taking a day at a time.
Fantastic app... so much more than excersise as I haven’t gone into it all bu      ‍‍

I suffer from major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety, and panic disorder. Daily Yoga has became my safe haven and has helped me so much. I love that it has an option for reminders to push me to get up and use this as a healthy coping method. It shows you how to do the poses, and has different levels of difficulty as well as different work outs specific to what you are looking for. I start my day with the morning yoga and end it with the bedtime yoga. It has so many different yoga classes to choose from. You pick one, and it shows a mini display of what to do and give you a countdown. I like to listen to the music & her countdown but you can turn them off. They have different levels to choose from. They keep track of your workouts. If you’ve ever wanted to try yoga but are scared to do it in front of a whole class with a bunch of people this is literally a lifesaver. And honestly        ‌

No bugs, no glitches, just straight yoga! I complete two yoga sessions daily. After one month of daily use, I upgraded to pro and I’ll never look back! I am working in a country where I don’t have access to a gym and DailyYoga has given me all that I need: strength, balance, flexibility and muscle tone. I am very happy with DailyYoga and have recommended it to friends and family. Easy to follow with both a visual and audible guide for each session. I have completed both weekly and monthly challenges. You can repeat programs as many times as you’d like. There is a community board that you can take part in if you need accountability. Or add your real life friends and begin a group together! Yoga is something that will stick for life with me and DailyYoga has made it possible. I have no excuses to not exercise since it goes with me everywhere my phone does...

I’ve never done yoga before and have been doing this for just over 2 week’s, I have noticed improvements in my balance, flexibility and an added bonus of weight loss as well as toning up! My husband has joined me on his day’s off and he too has seen improvements even though he’s only done 4 sessions!
The sessions start off at about 10 minutes and gradually get longer! I have found that if I put my toddler down for his nap and then do a session I feel more rejuvenated and relaxed!
This is such an amazing app. It helps me with anxiety and my happiness. If u are a person who needs a little quiet time in their life then I deeply recommend DailyYoga. It has calming music and the voice that tells u what to do is so lovely. Daily Yoga also makes you more flexible and I’ve lost so many calories from DailyYoga . Please download DailyYoga. It’s honestly amazing. I could not ask for better quality. the

DailyYoga works great, it doesn't have the most intuitive menu, but it's easy enough to figure out and there's actually a guide that tells you everything that I just noticed today. The free features are plentiful, but Pro (paid) options are nearly endless. Definitely worth paying for if your dedicated to your practice.
As for yoga itself, starting with a very basic (free) 10 day program at under 20 minutes a day did wonders to relieve sciatic issues - caused by inflammation * if you've got a slipped disc or something you really need to consult a chiropractor before doing anything. I wish I'd have been more open minded about it 20 years ago (even 5 or 10 years ago) I probably wouldn't have developed this issue to begin with.
Additionally, its allowed me to clear my mind, I may only exercise for half an hour or so, throw in 15 minutes of meditation, but it's effects are lasting throughout the day. This is a big deal for me as my mind never goes quiet.

Daily Yoga is a really first rate app and much better than my expectations based on other similar apps.
It’s just like having your own highly-skilled instructor gently take you through the sequence of poses at exactly the right speed, neither too fast to keep up nor too slow to keep the flow going.
The instructor has a marvellously calming voice, and the music is a wonderful addition. Too often I find the supposedly ‘calming’ music in meditation or sleep-enhancing apps is actually thoroughly irritating and uncalming, but not here. It doesn’t intrude, but forms a sort of supportive sound scape that adds to the whole experience.
I can’t judge how well the poses are suited to each person’s ability but the ‘Beginner 2’ level that I chose to start with seems to me to be very well suited to someone with a little yoga experience, perhaps even from some time ago as in my case, who wants to pick  ​

I bought a membership to help keep me moving during the beginning of COVID. I had never really done yoga before (unless wii fit counts 😂) I really enjoyed how the programs have the levels so you know what you may be able to do. The instructions are amazing to help me understand what I need to be doing without a physical coach near by. I like the topics you can read on and how it’s all so encouraging for everyone to do their best. I have weak wrists and there was an article how to place hands to avoid injury and I use those tips every practice. I enjoy that it rewards you for consecutive log ons and work outs as I struggle to make time everyday. I believe the free version also has a ton to offer without spending a dime. If you practice daily and complete challenges you can earn gold perks so you don’t necessarily even need to buy! If you want a yoga app I extremely recommend trying this out. Take a couple weeks and try some level 1 work outs. Don’t give up if it’s tough. They always say your hardest poses are the ones you need to do the most and I believe in that statement.

I downloaded DailyYoga and the 7 minute workout app bc I wanted to regain my strength. I had two babies in two years and my muscle tone and strength were gone. That was in August and I no longer have the 7 minute workout app but use the daily yoga app multiple times a week. The programs have kept me accountable to get to my mat. I’m a plus size woman and have seen muscle tone return that I haven’t seen since my twenties. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to regain strength and muscles but need or prefer a low impact workout. It’s both challenging and fun. I would also recommend you start with the 10 day beginner program and if you like it, do another week program (I think I did an all over stretch one) and if you like those then I would purchase the gold pro. There’s tons of programs or individual classes that it gives you access to that are amazing. I just crossed the 100 days of yoga mark and I feel like yoga is going to stay with me for the rest of my life. I truly enjoy it and know it’s something I can stick with (unlike the many fads I’ve tried).

Update - DailyYoga UI seems to have been updated and is more clear now. Changed the rating from 4 to 5 stars. Great yoga app!

I am a beginner at yoga. The workouts are great, the voice guiding and videos are amazing too, but the menu is so confusing. Just as a feedback for developers: there is so much content on DailyYoga and its really hard to navigate, I spent 4 days of using this until I figured out how to continue with my started exercises. Literary, every day I go back and try to figure out how to simply go on with my exercise. Feels like a bonus problem solving training 😂 Honestly, it is so confusing to navigate in DailyYoga that I literary pushed myself to try out an exercises before I was going to delete it initially when I first downloaded DailyYoga . And I am glad I did, because as I mentioned the content is great. However, I assume that many people might just not give it a chance after spending a couple of confused minutes when they first download DailyYoga . And that is the only reason I took out a star, other than that it is the best yoga app I have tried so far 👌🏼

I started with this program 3 years ago, I think. I am still doing level 1/2, but that is what I love about it. I can work comfortably at what level I want, however long I want, and when I want. I am focusing on my flexibility because of an illness I have that has required the use of prednisone. I will probably always have to take it, but I am at just 2 mg a day. Who knows, my aim is 0 mugs a day.
After doing this program for only a year, my bone density scan even showed improvement, not “no change”. My rheumatologist was as proud as I was.
FYI- I am a 57 year old retired school teacher with polymyalgia rheumatica. Yes, it is a disease, and it comes and goes. It is autoimmune and loves to attack muscle tissue, like my hips, thighs, neck, shoulders, elbows, and knees. It is not arthritis, but is is so very painful and makes me move like a statue that has been frozen for hundreds of years that finally gets to moves. It is fine as long as I continue to move, but the moment I sit down to rest I have to go through it all over again.
No matter the circumstances, I am always happiest when doing the program. Again, I love you GUYS!

I NEVER write reviews but I had too! I am 22 years old I’m a disabled veteran with 80% disability and I haven’t had much luck through the VA with consistent help with joint pains and aches and I LOVE this! I’ve always been interested in yoga but never really knew what to do and all the apps are so expensive but I was lucky enough to catch the yearly subscription at 80% off and only had to pay $40 (43 Total) to get a year and 2 months of unlimited access to everything! 🤯🤯🤯 I just wish it was always $40 because I probably won’t be able to pay the full amount next year but imma do my best because it’s worth every penny! They have a test you can do before you start to see how flexible and strong you are then they base the workouts off of that and the beginner yoga is a breeze I did an hours worth the first night and almost finished a whole weeks workouts !  And if you don’t have the money     ‍

Great app that unfortunately has the “let’s hurry up and get this over with” mentality for a lot of their free programs.
With the exception of 2 practices I’ve done, I find myself wishing that that they would spend more time on the poses, to actually get a stretch in, feel muscles working, and give you time to breathe and slow the mind through the pose. Holding poses for 4 seconds does not allow for any of that and being rushed in yoga is completely counter productive.
I’m sure if you buy the “pro” package the programs will actually give you time to work through the poses, but I wish they would slow down and give their beginners a chance to develop some breath work skills before they buy the whole app. Hopefully the “pro” version has more to offer. All in all if you’ve NEVER done any meditation, yoga, or breathe work this might be a good intro for you. But for those of us who HAVE, the free app will not be enough for you.

I downloaded DailyYoga to help me get into a better yoga habit & improve my mobility & flexibility since I sit most of the day at work. I decided to go with the paid subscription because I wanted access to more sessions as well as the meditations. The cost is fairly inexpensive especially compared to a face-to-face yoga class & with it being on my phone, I can do my yoga practice even while traveling. I like the variety of yoga sessions & the meditations but I could not give it five stars because:

1) the “instructors” speed is a little too fast for my preference which makes it difficult, especially for beginners, to get into a nice breathing & movement flow. I’ve been doing the “Easy Yoga for Complete Beginners” in the mornings & I feel a bit rushed through the movements. I wish there was an option to slow it down a tad.

2) the daily topics either never load or take a long time to load. I’ve been trying to “view details” & often have to switch to another open app first which doesn’t make any logical sense to me.

3) it’s also not the easiest to navigate & it would be nice if I could customize my home screen including an option to have the “check-in” on the same screen as my session for the day instead of having to navigate to various screens every time.

I love DailyYoga so much. I’ve tried so many other yoga apps, beach body yoga, you tube yoga, etc. I love the music this features. Sometimes I just let it play in the background because it helps soothe my high anxiety. I love the thorough descriptions they vocally give so you can do the pose without checking the screen every 2 minutes. I love all the different plans they have from “Detox” to “Weightloss” to “Beginner” And “Expert”. There’s a plan for everyone! I love the community! I love that they have 2 different options to purchase the Gold plan!
There’s just one think I don’t love, and that is that you can’t stream it. I have 2 little boys who are always reaching for my phone. This makes it difficult to have my tiny screen where I can see and hear it. I wish I could stream it to Chrome Cast so I can have it on the big screen and they could follow along with me.

I had no clue what yoga even was before I found DailyYoga. I have learned so much from it by now, that I can even do my own little yoga routines without the help of DailyYoga if needed, because I know when to breath and how to flow from one pose to the next and it’s all thanks to DailyYoga. I’m actually slightly addicted to doing yoga most mornings and nights, I have felt a huge improvement in my pain levels. The only thing I think I would change is being able to make notes on the different routines and sessions so I can see, remember, and keep track of how that session was for me and how I am doing as far as improvement. I can never remember which session it was that I did a couple days ago that I loved and really helped my back or I really didn’t love because it had these poses and I am not to that level yet, or whatever. That’s the only reason I didn’t give it five stars.

I hateeeee exercising, I hate the gym and those apps that think you are a pro because their routines are super hard ! I’ve been practicing yoga almost every day for 2 months now. I started looking for something that will help my shoulder and neck pain. After massages, chiropractors and even SWEAT app, Nothing worked for me. I couldn’t even lift my arms I was in a lot of pain (I still have pain some days but nothing like before). I’m so happy, I think I finally found an activity that I like, that doesn’t take 1-2 hours and that’s made for normal people. Thank you so much Daily Yoga! I also feel less stressed and worried about things that I can’t change. I’m still have a long way to go because I’m super Level 1 lol But I hope I can eventually get to do all those amazing figures.

Wasn’t sure what to expect when I downloaded this but I LOVE it. I was having severe, really painful cramps one day, and there was a free series of sessions entitled “yoga for menstruation” under the “just for women” category, and it really helped to relieve the pain! I’ve been using DailyYoga every day since the cramps last week, and I’m totally amazed by the meditation sessions, I can’t really explain it, you’ll just have to try for yourself! Every day I feel as if I’m lacking something if I didn’t use DailyYoga . Something about the deep breathing is so refreshing and restorative. I’ve been using the free sessions but I’m probably going to upgrade because I use DailyYoga every day and am excited to try new series. Hey, it’s cheaper than joining a gym! You just gotta be diligent and fit this into your schedule each day.

by Satisfied Yoga Person

I’m new to yoga; my goals are to gain muscle tone and lose weight, but my schedule (and my budget) doesn’t allow for a full-fledged yoga class. DailyYoga gives me the flexibility to practice when and where I want. The sessions themselves are clear and easy to follow, and they’re not distracting. I also appreciate that DailyYoga gamifies participation; I’m incentivized to check in every day and exercise for XP, which makes DailyYoga and my exercise more fun. The only drawbacks: I did end up paying for the gold pro membership to gain access to all the apps features, and DailyYoga isn’t intuitively easy to navigate at first. In my opinion, paying for the membership was worth it because, thus far, DailyYoga has given me additional means and motivation to consistently and effectively work out. That said, not everyone wants/is able to pay $40 for an app.

by TGZebra

I started doing Yoga about 4 months ago. My girlfriend has been practicing Yoga for 20 years and has taught me a great deal. She is from another country and when she had to return suddenly for over a month, I was left to practice on my own. I was lost and started researching Yoga apps. I looked at dozens and tried a few. Daily Yoga came out way on top. I have learned so much about the fundamentals and do something every day. I can’t wait for her to return and see how much I’ve improved.

As you might imagine, her workouts are far more advanced than what I’m capable of yet. The key word being, yet. Lol. She does her routines 3 times a week. Now I can work out whenever I want and concentrate on specific areas I need help with.
DailyYoga is worth every penny for pro memberships. Don’t believe me. Try the free programs out and see how professionally done they are. I love it. Thanks

by Golden Heart Yo-gal

I’ve tried yoga classes in a couple places that I have lived and usually didn’t attend more than a couple of times. They’re expensive, too fast passed, the instructor would push me further into a pose than my body was ready for, I’d be self conscious the whole time of my appearance and skill level. However, I could acknowledge that when I found a style I liked and a good instructor, it helped my anxiety and depression loooooads. So, I finally decided to try apps and practice at home. DailyYoga has anything and everything I was looking for and that I didn’t know I needed. Slower practice to learn the poses? Adjust the speed! Just want to meditate? There’s programs for that! Need to feel like I really worked out? Get a full body stretch? All there too. I did go back to an in-person yoga class about 6 months after downloading DailyYoga and my practices actually carried over! I understood the names of the poses and could follow a vinyasa flow with much less difficulty and my self consciousness was far lessened. Definitely recommend DailyYoga...and already have to many friends!

This is only my third day using DailyYoga . I used the free version until today. The ad pop ups were a little issue. But for light use, it’s no big deal. You have access to a lot of routines for free. The routine is well constructed. You are guided through poses well. Reminders of good form and key things to focus on in each pose is stated. It’s as social as you want it to be. Post or don’t post. Make friends or not. Many inspiring posts for normal average people and many beautiful yogi posts to view and interact with. Fun leader board if you feel the need to complete. Great meditations to remember it’s not a competition. Friendly atmosphere with good people. Worth a try. Today there is a sale on the lifetime membership. I decided after just two days use that I wanted it.
