Timed yoga routines
Every pose has a time in seconds and a breath cue, and the times add up to the length on the label. Open a routine and press Start: a voice calls out each pose, with a timer, the pose photo and a preview of what's next.
Move slowly; skip anything that hurts. Not medical advice.
Each routine is also an audio class you can play with the screen off, and a podcast episode: Spotify (opens in a new tab), RSS feed.
