Prenatal Yoga | Down Dog

I have used this app during my previous pregnancy and am now using it for my current pregnancy. The way you can use it by trimester is comforting and helpful. I have downloaded practices I like to repeat but always enjoy the new ones. If you’re thinking about it just do it! You won’t regret

Used this throughout my first pregnancy and now for my second. I love how you can adapt the classes depending on how you feel!

Have found it so helpful in my pregnancy- brilliant to have such flexibility in choosing your practice without having to worry that it is not baby-friendly!

I’ve been using downdog for yoga and hiit for a few years now. I’ve just started using the prenatal yoga and am so impressed that you have PSD boost for pelvic pain and other prenatal niggles that you can adjust on the settings. So great.

During my first trimester, I have found my nausea put me off my yoga practice, however, being able to select the “restorative” practice has helped me a lot. It’s still got deep stretches and does not feel too easy but its gentle enough that it doesn’t make my sickness worse. On the days that I don’t feel like my sickness is present, I choose the full practice and it’s enjoyable, challenging and rewarding. It was very easy for me to transfer from my existing Down Dog subscription. I am enjoying how each day is different and feel suited to my body.

I really like the concept of an app that is customisable for yoga practice and for the most part, this app delivers. I have only done one practice so far on the free trial but there are a couple of areas for improvement already. Firstly, you seem to be only able to select one area of focus (i.e. I couldn’t focus on practice for Labour as well as prioritising reflux friendly moves). Secondly, despite choosing to focus on reflux friendly moves, my practice had times where I had to have my head below my stomach which I couldn’t hack! Overall I like this app but I’m not sure yet whether I’d pay for it.

Compared to the normal yoga app with lots of options and variations, I feel like this needs an update. The class was fine but pretty boring and with almost no flow. I’m an experience yoga class taker so want something that aids my journey in pregnancy. Maybe normal classes are the way forward for now.

I’ve downloaded lots of apps and have always been disappointed a little. When I started this app I was skeptical it’d be great but I absolutely loved how much I could customise the yoga workouts to my preferences. The session ended up being the best session I’ve done using an app and also it only took 12 mins

If you are fussy like me you’ll love this. You can change so many settings to get exactly what kind of yoga session suits you. Well worth the money.

Having been a regular yogi I’ve been unable to go to classes in my first trimester as the studios aren’t covered but this app has just rocked my world. I’m hooked!
