Alo Moves 4+

I’ve had recurring shoulder problems for about a year and a half now from rock climbing (I travel, making it difficult to get regular physical therapy). They have a shoulder pain relief series that has done wonders for me. This series is seriously a mini physical therapist in your pocket. My shoulder feels much more stable and mobile than it has all year.

Additionally, I started the “discover your splits series.” I haven never been able to do the splits (probably about 6 inches off the ground). I started doing a daily split-stretch routine for about a month (by myself), and I wasn’t making any progress. THEN, i started this series and 11 days in...boom. I can do the splits on my right side. I still can’t believe it because I have never been able to do the splits in my whole life. I’m stull working on my left side, but I am actually so impressed by this app and its capabilities.

Excited to explore more of their videos!!

I really like this alo moves app. I have been doing Yoga for 6 years and I guess over time I have become a bit particular. I like my instructors to know what they are doing, and I want my yoga classes to be a relaxing and unwinding end of my day. The Alo moves Yoga instructors are top notch.

But the second piece of what I am looking for in a class is relaxing atmosphere, which is where the music comes in. The music should help me to relax and unwind. Most of the music on the app is great, but some classes have music that includes lyrics. Here is the problem. When there are lyrics in the song, and the instructor is also speaking… that means there are two voices at the same time. Maybe it’s me, but my brain absolutely cannot make sense of two voices speaking/singing simultaneously. It may sound weird but it gives me some sort of anxiety because my brain can’t choose what to listen to…which is the opposite of what I want in a yoga class. I want to relax.

Please take out songs with lyrics for yoga classes, or give us the ability to choose our style of music. I will then give a 5 star rating, as I really do like this app. Thanks!!

I love the classes that are offered but the interface between mobile use and the website is in consistent. For instance, you can create whole playlists on the website but are not able to do that on the app. You can what classes you have done with a simple “Completed” in the bottom right corner of the video thumbnails on the apps but not able to see those completed on the website. And the tags attached to videos for searching seem to be off too. Like when I search for a video, typing exactly what it is titled, it won’t come up…so I have to rely on using my history of recent classes taken or search for it the same way I found it the first time by using filters and hope new classes haven’t been added that would make the search harder. And some of the classes allow you to decrease the level of background music which is almost always too loud, but not all of them do this which…when the music is too loud, takes away from the experience of the class sometimes.
