Lotus Flow - Yoga & Workout 4+

When I start doing yoga with this app, I lose a track of time, day, year I forget all my problems and simply go with the flow. Now, there is a couple of things that definitely help me with that. First of all, I can easily find what I need, thanks to filters. I can search among hundreds of classes and very quickly find what I need according to time, focus, level, etc. Now, I’m not a big fan of totally custom classes. I mean, the idea is nice, but the final effect is kind of robotic. In this app we have perfect sessions, clearly designed by professionals. That makes me feel safe, not like in yoga roulette. Of course, if you are more advanced, there is an option to create your custom classes in Lotus too (and as far as I saw, there is a huge number of poses to select from!) but with my level I prefer to stick to ready classes. Second thing is definitely music! For me it’s a must to feel fully relaxed. And Lotuses music is perfect. In other apps it’s often more harming than helping and the only alternative it to completely shut it down... Another thing is my activity tracker. I really like to see how much time did I spend on yoga, which classes have I completed and when did I work out. My motivation grows along with the numbers out there. So once again, big thanks to Lotus creators.

Long long time ago, when I was in college, I went to one pilates class. It was one of the most boring experiences in my life. I almost fell asleep during the session, so I decided that maybe I’ll come back to this kind of activities when I’m on pension. But now I’m over 30 and all my friends are talking about pilates and yoga. Seriously, I think that all of them are going to one of these classes, comparing, discussing... I felt a bit abandoned in these conversations and as I had had terrible experience with pilates, I decided to try out yoga. But again, I didn’t want to embarrass myself in front of people, so I had to come up with another way. One of my friend’s yoga teacher showed her this app to practice between in-person classes so I downloaded it as well. At first, I completed a few sessions available in the free version, but upgrading it to pro is still much cheaper than 2 or 3 classes in studio, so I did it. And then the magic happened. I wouldn’t expect that I’ll ever be so into yoga, but now I can’t survive a day without it. I just feel so good after each session that I don’t want to get off the mat. Maybe one day I’ll follow my friends and go to studio, but at the moment I’m so happy with Lotus and I wouldn’t exchange it to any other app.

I’ve been to a few real yoga classes and I’m not sure was it because of the teacher, the place, or just me feeling uncomfortable due to my inflexibility, but it just didn’t work for me. But I really wanted to improve. At the same time, I wanted to start meditating and centering my mind due to anxiety. I’ve been looking for something that will help me with both these subject and then I found Lotus. At first, I was practicing twice a week (one yoga session and meditation). But “thanks to” lockdown I had plenty of time, so I decided to upgrade to pro version and use it every day. I’m not claiming it was easy, cause even with all this free time, it was often hard to find motivation, but on the other hand I thought “come on, you can do at least these 10 minutes” and day by day, yoga and meditation became a part of my life. Now I don’t think about it as a workout, something that I need to do. It’s rather a reward, a treat to my mind and body. What I love most about Lotus yoga, is that I feel motivated, thanks to the calendar and reminders but at the same time I don’t feel pressure. I’m not upset if I skip one day, cause next day, it will be still in my pocket, ready to lead me into my relaxing world. I love yoga and I Love this app.
