Michael Gannon's Ashtanga Yoga App Reviews

This App is so well made, it was really much better than I had excited. its the next best thing to being in a class. Very happy. :)

Excellent! Clear! Well done! Like going to a yoga practice! Thank you so much for this application which I use now on a regular basis at home!

So this gives you the full primary series with lots of photos. Unfortunately an absolute show stopper is the fact, that the screen goes black during the playback of Asanas even if you go into full screen mode. Having only photos instead of videos is not such a big deal in comparison. This way it is useless to practice along with it but only useful to look up some poses. But then the audio commentary is only half thought through, because why would I want to look up a pose and have practice commentary alongside? (and why, why, why did you leave the vinyasas out?) Some of the smaller things I would like to see: - Support the screen to rotate during videos and slideshow - Some background on Ashtanga (Raja Yoga), what are the eight parts and such, not just the Asana section - Custom short forms (just standing and finishing postures for a short session) - Audio commentary with traditional count

such a pragmatic and intelligent tool to carry and use anywhere..... and progess your daily practice....thx Michael

Ive seen videos with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and taken Ashtanga Yoga classes and the practice always includes a "rocker" asana (back bend with head shoulders, hips and feet up to the sky and belly on the ground). Somehow thats not in here and its one of my personal favorites. Im assuming there is a reason and would love to hear it. Update: Its now obvious to me why its missing. This app only includes the primary series. They should make that clear in the product description.

Michaels voice is clear and precise making it an easy flow to follow. He even offers the opening and closing chants which you can also read to chant along! Nice challenging class! You can now have your own private Ashtanga class wherever you go...just bring Michael along! How cool is that?

very good instruction, clear, excellent photos. this app has a clean, modern, minimal style and is very easy to use. i love how you can play the entire series in sequence or focus on a section at a time. also very knowledgeable instruction for the mantras, bandhas and drishtis etc. total beginners may find the pace a bit quick, but this is an authentic, invigorating ashtanga series!

I love this app and I use it whenever I can’t get to my regular class. It is perfect for people who already practice and want to keep up their practice while away on business. It is definitely not for people who are new to yoga and it won’t take the place of a good regular instructor who can correct problems with posture in the poses. BUT IT IS THE NEXT BEST THING!!! Thank you Michael, you are my traveling yogi-guru.

I feel that the pace is ideal and the guidance is straight forward and beneficial, like he is in the room with you. There is no excessive audio or energy. It is a focused instruction and the more I do it the more I enjoy it. I look forward to my yoga practice like never before and would recommend this as the best app I have ever purchased. You will not be disappointed.

I love this app! Ive been using it regularly for about 8 months now. I cant make it to my yoga class everyday and I find this app very helpful in between classes. The instruction is excellent. Thanks!

Wherever I can practice ashtanga yoga with this app. (^-^)

This app is very simple and use full with home practice.

Great application for everyone who practices asthanga!

I practice Ashtanga yoga for years and now with this app my daily practice is easier. The rhythm of the breath is perfect as well as the accuracy of the poses. Great job!

It doesnt just play through the poses and the sound doesnt work. So I dont understand how this is supposed to be helpful with the mind body connection when I will constantly for every single move have to check my phone. Im so disappointed, I thought this was "it". Who are these 5 star people? And really?!??

LOVE this app. Its simple, streamlined, sophisticated. Images in a continuous play slideshow with crystal clear audio instructions or choose to manually move to the next pose. Detailed written descriptions of poses also an option. No glitches to report. Have been wanting to get back into my ashtanga practice but am on a tight budget these days. Paying $2.99 ONE time for this app compared to $15-$25 per class at a studio--you cant beat that! I still prefer the class atmosphere with a teacher doing adjustments, etc, but this is an EXCELLENT alternative!

As far as my career, Im a certified personal trainer. Weights and cardio are part of my normal workout routine. Unfortunately, stretching tends to go by the wayside. Ive done yoga in the past, but I dont really like doing it in big groups, which is all my gym offers. I dont have time to go to a yoga studio. This app brings the yoga studio to me. Step by step images that depict each pose or technique are really helpful in getting it down. Aside from physical technique, the app will also help you get a firm grasp on proper breathing technique! Im loving it, and the stretching is definitely helping me in the weight room! 5 out of 5 stars!!!!!

I am very excited about this app! I had a setting issue with my phone and the creator of the app responded swiftly! Problem resolved! Looking forward to using this app!

Love it! If you are new to Ashtanga it is a great tool to find out if this style is for you. If you have practiced before it is an excellent way to guide your practice or use as a reference; any time, any where. Thank you Yoga Dealer!

My college town does not have a yoga studio that offers ashtanga yoga, which is my regular practice. When Michael Gannon released his ashtanga yoga app it turned any place into an ashtanga center AND with my fave ashtangi! Great for all levels and the intruction is awesome, its like he is in the room with you! Now, there are no more excuses not to get your ashtanga on. DOWNLOAD IT!! worth every penny and more!!!
