Yoga Wave: workouts and poses 4+

I have found this app really great. The choice of courses and time lengths is great and allows me to alternate to suit the time window I have. The improvements are now noticeable and my well being improved immensely.
The only downside is giving alternative options to some moves I feel should be given in summary of the different practices and not during the session when you have tried to get in position to the be told an easier option.
Overall, very positive and I have recommended to others

The app seems great, but as a complete beginner using an iPhone, it was just not practical. I’m not familiar with the terminology or poses, so have to keep viewing my monitor - but they don’t give you time to view and follow the movements. They work in real time, which is fine if you know what you’re doing, but utterly impossible if you’re a beginner. And yes, I know there’s a pause button - but that’s not practical. You have to keep stopping, pausing, trying again. And by the time you’ve hit pause the trainer is already on her 4th move. There’s so many reviews saying it’s to fast for beginners. Don’t you think it’s time you actually took note, and stop recommending the pause button. That isnt practical for a smooth class.

They do break each move down so you can do it step by step - but you have to read the instructions. Which again isn’t practical as you have to stop, read if your doing it correctly, then proceed. Why don’t they talk you slowly through each move. They also don’t give you advice if you can’t actually do the move. So there’s no recommended alternative. And as a beginner there’s no way I can do all the moves immediately.

I’ve been doing courses with this app for over three months now and I’m really pleased with the app. Firstly, the poses are modelled by a real person, not just some animated picture. It also tells you what poses are you going to do in the class with video instruction on how to do the poses. There are three levels to choose from which is amazing for beginners. If you think a class is too exhausting or you unsure off, there’s short questions at the end of each class to ask you how you feel. There are options on classes length. Also there’s several courses to choose from depends on what you want to focus on. It’s worth the money and at the comfort of your own home. There are few things I’d like to suggest:

1) It would be great if you could give option for 45 mins class
2) It would be great if you could give transition time from laying down breathing exercise to sitting down position (It happens quite few times in Relaxation Course). I was laying down following the breathing instruction and the next second I was told to bend forward on Caterpillar pose, which made me rushing to roll up and made me dizzy.
3) I can’t remember which class (on Weight Loss Course) that the poses video aren’t the same with the voice instruction
4) It would also be an idea to give option of poses for beginners on some intermediate or advance pose

Apart from these, I’m one happy customer.
