Namaste, friends.

During lockdown, you may be looking at ways to stay healthy. There are a number of fitness and workout apps out there – our favourite is this one – but also, you’re free to spend your days as you please.

No pressure from our side.

Unlike following pre-recorded videos, Down Dog won’t make you do the same workout over and over again. With over 60 000 different configurations, Down Dog gives you the power to build a yoga practice you love!

Based on more than 3 500 reviews, the app scores a cracking 4,9 out of five, making it the top-rated yoga app out there.

I clicked on ‘Yoga for Beginners’ on the site’s homepage, and was greeted with this:

I believe that is a happy face, and not the face of somebody trapped in a pose that they now cannot extricate themselves from.

May your Bridge Pose, your Mountain Pose, and your Tree Pose be flawless.
