Best Yoga Apps in the UK in 2025
Best yoga apps in the UK
Yoga apps are apps that you download on your mobile phone to practice yoga. The app will let you choose the recorded class of your choice. Most yoga apps are not exclusive to yoga and also include sessions in Fitness, bare and HIIT classes (and sometimes even running).
Those apps will let you access some of their inventory for free, and have a premium offer on sale, or they let you try the app for free for a week. Make sure you remember to cancel the membership if you just wanted to try for free, otherwise, you'll get charged!
Short sessions to fit easily in a busy day
The main difference with studio practice is that yoga apps offer very short yoga sessions, some of them of only 5 minutes, which seems very short to people who are used to 1 hour or 1.5 hours classes. But if you can fit twenty minutes sessions 3 times in your day, that is one hour of yoga!
Using a yoga app when you are a beginner?
Going to a yoga class in a studio can be intimidating. You might be worried you're not very flexible and could make a fool of yourself. By trying yoga at home on an app you can see what it is all about without taking any risk.
Once you're a bit more self-confident, it is recommended to start taking classes with a yoga teacher, so they can adapt the practice to your body, you could try a live-stream class before you head to yoga studios.
