Developed in collaboration with the World Health Organization, the Government of India’s Ministry of AYUSH, and Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga in India, the WHO mYoga app is one of the best tools for learning yoga basics. WHO mYoga features learning videos and practice sessions deemed safe for anyone between 12 and 65.
There’s a total of 31 learning videos in the app, covering a range of postures or asanas suitable for beginner, intermediate, and advanced practitioners. The videos, which are conveniently less than seven minutes long and downloadable for offline use, guide you through the poses and explain the physical benefits associated with each. After you’ve gone through the learning videos, the app unlocks posture sequences or vinyasas for practice. These include options for 10, 20, or 45 minute sessions. If you’re looking to challenge yourself and test out the postures without visual guidance, you can find audio versions of the practices in the app too.
The best part is that it’s completely free to download and use. You don’t need to sign up or subscribe to access all the in-app videos. However, it’s worth noting that the app is primarily aimed at yoga beginners or instructors, so it focuses more on the teaching aspect than the practice. Once you master the 45-minute sequence, the app doesn’t offer further content.
