No reviews match these filters yet. Try fewer filters, or take the quiz to find your style.
What I look for in a yoga app or Pilates app
These are the five things I score in every review. They're also worth checking yourself before you pay for an online yoga or Pilates class.
-
Cueing
A good teacher explains each pose so clearly that you can follow without watching the screen, in any yoga app or Pilates app.
-
Beginner friendliness
Is there a real place to start, with variations and props? If a yoga app isn't built for beginners yet, I tell you.
-
Class variety
Different styles, lengths and levels, plus programs and challenges, so the app grows with you and never feels repetitive.
-
App experience
Can you find the class you want in a few taps? Search, filters and a clear layout matter when you practice every day.
-
Value
What you get for the price, compared with free YouTube classes. A Pilates app or yoga app should give you something more.

Questions about my reviews
How I test each online yoga and Pilates app, how the scores work, and who's behind them.
How do you review a yoga app or Pilates app?
I practice with every yoga app and Pilates app myself, usually for months, before I write about it. I follow its programs and challenges, check every price on the platform, and score each one on the same five things: cueing, beginner friendliness, class variety, app experience and value.
Are your reviews sponsored?
No. I'm not affiliated with the platforms I review, nobody pays to be reviewed or ranked, and I don't get paid for the links in my reviews.
Who writes these reviews?
I do. I'm Emilija, an RYT 200 certified yoga teacher since 2021. I practice Pilates regularly, but I'm not a certified Pilates instructor, and I say so in every Pilates review.
How do the scores work?
Every platform gets five scores out of 5: cueing, beginner friendliness, class variety, app experience and value. The overall score is the average of the five.
Is a paid yoga app worth it, or is YouTube enough?
A great free YouTube channel can be all you need, and I review those too. A paid yoga app or Pilates app is worth it when you want a plan to follow, programs and challenges, and new online yoga or Pilates classes every week.
Which yoga app is best for beginners?
So far, Honey Studio by Amina Taha. Her Living Room Yoga Sessions: Beginner series is where I started my own practice. STRONG by Izzy, a Pilates-inspired strength app, isn't built for beginners yet. If you're not sure which style suits you, take the yoga and Pilates quiz.
Are the prices in your reviews up to date?
I check every price on the platform itself, and each review shows the date it was last updated. Prices can change, so check the sign-up page before you pay.
