The Best Free Yoga Apps (For Everyone)
Yoga for Beginners | Pure Calm
Best for: Beginners
Yoga for Beginners: Mind+Body offers a massive range of choices when it comes to workouts, meaning you’ll never find yourself bored.
Flows are categorised according to time of day and specialisation – which is especially handy if you’re a beginner. Flicking through, you'll know exactly which workouts will help you unwind before bed or target your abs.
This app also has a dedicated ‘beginner’ section, meaning it’s a great place to start if you’re entering the world of yoga for the first time. Once you feel ready, you can then begin to level up the difficulty, as well as build and customise your workouts!
(Plus, if you use the app on a handheld Apple device, then you can integrate Apple Health to get even more out of your workouts.)
5 Minute Yoga
Best for: Busy schedules
Let’s face it; with all the repetitions involved in flows, yoga can be a little bit time consuming. Not everyone has the time for a full 40 minute workout, and there’s nothing wrong with that...
Enter, 5 Minute Yoga. As the name suggest, all workouts on this app are under five minutes.
With just minutes of your time needed, it’s super easy to slip a workout in before or after work, as well as stack some up for a longer workout.
It isn’t the most complicated app, but it more than makes up for it with thorough explanations of the poses – even dinging a little bell to let you know you’ve held your pose for long enough. Convenience is key!

Whilst Down Dogdoes offer a subscription service for fans of the app, the free version has more than enough content to carry you through - offering Vinyasa, Yin, and Hatha yoga.
But best of all, this app is great for those whose first language isn’t English. There are 6 English speaking coaches, and the exercise descriptions are available in a further 6 different languages.
Plus, you can download your favourite exercise videos with Down Dog, meaning you won’t be relying on wifi to get your yoga fix…
