Pocket Yoga (iOS, Android, Dh11)
Want a yoga teacher to advise you in the comfort of your own home? That's basically what this app does. Just roll out your mat, place it in front of you and choose between its 27 sessions that have varying durations and difficulty levels. With detailed visual instructions, a voice that guides you through every pose and the soothing default music, you're sure to be refreshed and energised. The app is a winner because it also has other cool functions like describing the benefits of different poses and unlocking new environs as you go along.
 

Kids Yogaverse: I AM LOVE (iOS, Dh14)
Getting your kid interested in yoga is possibly every parent's dream. That being said, it's also quite the feat. Enter Kids Yogaverse, a unique, interactive storybook app and that might help your young one to learn a thing or two about the practice. The app is designed for 4-8-year-olds and has interactive features like the 'Guess What?' button that reveals interesting facts - all to the backdrop of soothing music and hand-drawn illustrations. 
 

Yoga Studio (iOS, Dh14)
Considered to be the whole package by many, Yoga Studio features 65 classes in HD video, sorted according to level and focus. But what makes it unique is its level of customisation; the app allows you to play your own tunes, and even create your own HD video classes. Other perks include keeping track of your class schedule and having a library of 280 poses with detailed advice and instructions at the palm of your hand.
