What The Yoga Wake Up App Does
Yoga Wake Up is an audio app that offers yoga, stretching and meditation sequences as an alternative to a conventional alarm clock.
Yoga Wake up offers several programs to help you start your day in a relaxed and positive way. There are several free Wake Up’s and a variety of other choices for a small cost.
How Yoga Wake Up Works
I listened to Spirit Wake Up by Jen Smith. This Wake Up starts with some simple deep breathing exercises. Jen has a lovely calming voice and the background music is gentle and soothing, so this was a wonderful way to ease myself into the day. The breathing exercises are followed by simple stretches that can be done while still in bed. The program then moves into a more conventional yoga workout. These further poses were great to get the blood flowing and ease stiff muscles. None of the poses are too difficult or complex and the instructions are easy to follow.
Jen’s commentary is inspiring and definitely helped me feel positive and optimistic about the day ahead. This app offers an excellent way to start the day on the right foot, helping me to feel relaxed and positive and easing my stress, anxiety, and tension.
I would suggest having a yoga mat set up beside the bed ready for your Wake Up practice. Some knowledge of yoga poses would also be useful as this program doesn’t go into too much detail about the alignment of each pose.
Overall, the app provided much more than I was expecting.
