Yoga enthusiasts will be able to have a class in the comfort of their own home, thanks
to a new app from the developers of iMuscle.
3D4Medical has launched the new iYoga Premium app, for the iPad and iPhone, to give
yoga fans of all abilities a unique insight into the impact of 190 different poses on the
body, from multiple angles.
It highlights which muscles are relevant to each pose, and shows them contracting and
expanding while demonstrating the exercise.
Developers believe it will empower people to get the best results from every practice
session and improve their confidence and technique.
3D4Medical CEO John Moore said: "iYoga allows you to see which muscles will be flexed
and stretched by each pose, and choose from six preset exercise programmes, or create your
own customised version.
"You can also adjust the hold times for each pose, depending on your level.
"It's very easy to use and there is nothing like it on the market, and we believe it
will bring yoga to a new audience - those who have considered it in the past but were
reluctant to go to a class."
3D4Medical Content Director Robert Cairnduff said: "The home user can now create
custom yoga routines with a continuous virtual instructor taking them through every aspect
of each pose."
It's available from the AppStore, and is priced at GBP1.99 for the iPad and GBP1.49
for the iPhone.
Additional poses for intermediate and advanced users can be added to the app through
an in-app purchase. It can also be projected to an Apple TV.
The app follows on the heels of the iMuscle app, which has been downloaded more than a
million times around the world.
3D4Medical specialises in educational apps for health and fitness enthusiasts, and for
medical professionals.
Alongside iYoga and iMuscle, they have developed a range of apps focusing on
individual organs and joints of the body, called the Body Systems and Body Regions series.
