The best yoga apps for the iPad

I must admit, I hit the gym five days a week and although I try to pay attention to my flexibility and mobility, it really is an area that I’d like to pay more attention to. I like to think that I’m reasonably healthy in this regard but a run through some of the moves on this app definitely left me humbled!

This app is just about right for beginners who aren’t sure where to start with yoga and Pilates, so it definitely receives a very strong recommendation from me.

Enjoy High-Quality Instructional Videos

As I mentioned in the introduction, Basic Pilates & Yoga For Beginners - Stretching PhysioTherapy for Back, Neck & Shoulder Pain includes 70 instructional videos covering the fields of yoga, Pilates, and stretching in general.

The best iPad apps for massage and relaxation

The videos are all very professionally produced, providing step-by-step instructions that I personally think are more than clear enough to get you started.

The exercises and postures in this app are also categorized into various difficulty levels to suit people from all walks of life, including:

• Seated;             
• Standing Beginner;
• Standing Intermediate; and
• Standing Advanced.

So if you’re new to this kind of exercise it would probably be a good idea to start with the easier categories and work your way up as your flexibility and strength improve.

 

More Than Meets the Eye

For those of us who spend way too many hours tapping away at a computer, all manner of postural issues can arise over time. Shortening of the hip flexors leading to hamstring and lower back tension is just one example, and one that I’ve unfortunately fallen prey to in recent months.
