Why users love Yoga-Go
Very happy I started Tai Chi
Day 10 and I thought, "I feel really well," and the only change to my life was that I had started this Tai Chi course. Very happy that I did!
Keeps me motivated
Keeps me really motivated, and I am really enjoying it.
I like the selection of workouts
I like the selection of workouts. I've improved my flexibility, mobility and balance. I've also improved my strength and coordination without high-impact exercises. The instructors are easy to follow and emphasize proper form throughout the exercises.
Excellent and easy to follow
I am finding the Yoga-Go excellent and easy to follow. I am sleeping better and am pain free!
Workout brings peace and stamina! Loving it!
I can do it when I have time! I love the Taichi library, and the somatic yoga is one of my favorites! I do feel more grounded, focused during difficult days! The instructions are very easy to follow after a couple days of practice! No regrets choosing Yoga on the go!
Nice app
Nice app with the ability to repeat the lesson or go back to review movements.
Chair Yoga is a great way to kick-start the day.
I basically use one aspect of the Yoga-Go app. It is with my favorite chair yoga instructor. The emphasis of the exercise is on the upper back, neck and to a lesser extent legs. BUT it seems to have the right balance for me, leaves me awake, stretched and very conscious of my muscles in my core and also my breathing. The app feels well-crafted and the exercises are thought through. I have been using this app for over a year, I have settled into the routine, and would not miss it on a daily basis.
Love this app
So relaxing and fits my particular level of exercise.
Relaxing for beginners
I am a beginner, but I do like it. It opens up your body and it relaxes you. I'm enjoying it.
I love this app
I love this app. I've been doing this app on and off for a year. I've tried other things but keep coming back to this one. I'm 52 years old. I can do these moves and exercises, and feel better every day when I do them. If you're looking for an app definitely try this one.
Easy-to-follow Tai Chi program
I completed the 28-day Tai Chi program and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great flow and the transitions made it extremely easy to follow. Nicely done!
Nice exercises for everyone
Nice exercises that everyone can join in on, and you feel good afterwards. I use it once or twice a day.
I'm 63 years old and 11 days into the program. Very happy I took the leap to try Chair Yoga.
I'm 63 years old and was looking to improve my flexibility and lose some weight. I'm happy with Yoga Go. I have less coat-hanger pain in my upper back and shoulder area, as well as my hips. I like that I can tailor my workouts for specific areas. I also like that each day the workout changes.
Delighted with my first Tai Chi experience
This is my first Tai Chi experience, although I have practiced yoga and pilates in the past. Having recently undergone significant surgery I was looking for a gentle way back into regular exercise. Whilst the first week's exercises pushed my capability somewhat I persevered and now at the end of this second week, the first week's exercises are much easier. I am still learning the second week moves and may need to, and very probably will, go back over some of them. Given my random schedule it has been a little tricky to fit this Tai Chi in. I am very glad that I have. Beginning to thoroughly enjoy my 20 or so daily minutes. Looking forward to week three! Thank you Yoga-Go.
FAQ
Find answers to your questions about Yoga-Go.
What is chair yoga?
Chair yoga is a gentler form of yoga where poses are done seated, or using a chair for support and balance, instead of on a mat on the floor.
Is chair yoga good for seniors?
Yes. It's one of the most accessible forms of exercise for older adults, since it builds strength and balance without any risk of falling or getting down onto the floor.
Is chair yoga good for beginners or people with limited mobility?
Yes. Chair yoga was designed to make yoga accessible to people who find mat poses difficult, including anyone managing stiffness, balance concerns, or a physical limitation.
Is chair yoga safe if I have balance issues or if I'm recovering from surgery or injury?
Chair yoga is generally considered a safe, low-impact option for exactly these situations, since the chair provides support throughout. If you're recovering from a specific procedure or condition, check with your doctor first.
How long are the sessions, and how often should I practice?
Sessions are short, usually 10 to 20 minutes, so they fit into a busy day. Your plan is built for daily practice, and we encourage it, but ultimately it's up to you and what works with your schedule.
