I’m sure most of us enjoy a little spontaneity in our yoga practice, but there’s also a lot to be said for showing up to a yoga class with a prepared teacher that puts on a smooth-flowing class. I do most of my yoga at home, but I don’t have many worse yoga pet peeves than practicing with an online yoga video where the teacher goes through a bunch of asanas for one side of the body and forgets to do the same thing for the other side.
Frustrating, distracting, and seems to happen all to often given the frailty and forgetfulness of the human mind…
Fear not! Pocket Yoga-Practice Builder, an iOS app I’ve used for a long time, came out with a great update this week that adds the ability to create repeating sequences with the app and export the sequence to a downloadable PDF. Very helpful for teachers planning classes or even us home-practitioners who like to plan our practices out. And most importantly, no more forgotten poses! Just build the routine, roll out the mats, and practice or teach away.
The app makes it easy to create routines, adjust pose duration, and even add your own music.
That’s all good news, but the best news for you is that we have 10 free download codes (currently priced at $6.99) to give away!

In a camping tent . . . .
Not crazy at all, but in a studio on vacation. And it was the best part of the vacation.
Rooftop yoga downtown
On the beach of Koh Samui
In the middle of my shared office space
Denver airport.
On a train I was working on, needed a break from the fault finding in confined spaces
In airports. Between 2 long-haul flights, nothing feels better than an hour or two of yoga. My body thanks me and I get to my destination in a much better state. Sometimes it’s hard to find a good place though. And people stare and comment as they walk by. Creepy guys sit and watch. Makes it harder to focus, but still worth it.
On the bluff, overlooking the bay
Not super weird, but I’ve been known to close my office door and do some yoga!
